Most Golfers Get This Wrong About Chipping
What do most golfers get wrong around the green? Todd Kolb's answer, judging by the tags on his newest chipping lesson, has a lot to do with bounce and effective loft: the part of the wedge sole built to slide through turf instead of digging. "Most Golfers Get This Wrong About Chipping" became the clear headliner of eight uploads on US GOLF TV, gathering more views in its first day than any of the others have managed so far.
The comment section turned into a small guessing game. Todd seems to point at a famous short-game style without naming it, and several viewers ask whether he means Phil Mickelson, whose flop shots are the stuff of highlight reels. One admits giving up on a tour-pro chipping video after three minutes. Others simply say where they play and how old they are, from Mississippi to Nebraska to Karachi, and a golfer in St. Louis credits the channel with taking his handicap from 18 to 14.
The rest of the week leaned into the channel's core audience of older players. "The Vertical Golf Swing Explained in 9 Minutes" lays out Todd's Vertical Line Swing in five parts, from a slightly stronger grip to a finish check where the knees touch. There was a fix for shanks, a live backswing lesson, and a short on swinging the driver faster instead of "low and slow." The newest short, answering a question from Steve in Boise about inside takeaways and fat shots, got off to a quick start.
Views ran a touch under the channel's usual pace and the subscriber count held steady. Among similar sports channels, NRL on Nine and RugbyPass had the busiest weeks, while The Art of Simple Golf, another instruction channel, moved at its usual calmer rhythm.

@nafgolfSee it on YouTubeNow do a video where you’re chipping off tight lies with extremely firm turf and closely mown grass. A putter is an option in such conditions but not always.
