1 of 1nouna short golf shot to get the ball onto the green
A chip shot in golf is a short, low shot played around the green, which is the area with very short grass where the hole is located. This shot is typically used to get the ball close to the hole, and players usually use a club with a shorter shaft. The goal is to lift the ball just enough to clear the grass or any obstacles, then let it roll smoothly toward the hole. It is often used when the ball is too far from the hole for a putt but too close for a full swing.
