This is a handy little shot for when ball lies on the fringe and the thicker grass of the rough lies directly behind the ball. By using a conventional chip shot there is a danger of chilli dipping the shot because of the possibility of the thick grass grabbing the sole of your wedge causing it to decelerate before striking the ball. The design of the 3 wood is different than the wedges. The sole is created different, the sole of the 3 wood allows it to skim or slide through the rough. The design of the 3 wood is ideal to perform this chip shot.

To execute we need to do the following:

1. Aim the club face
2. Get a comfortable stance
3. Stand taller and a little closer to the 3 wood than you would during a fairway or tee shot.
4. Position the ball close to the back of your stance.
5. Grip the 3 wood in the same way you grip your putter.
6. Use your putting stroke to execute the shot

Practice this shot often to gain the proper touch and feel needed to get the ball close to the hole.
