Min Woo Lee explains how amateurs can sharpen up their chipping

If you’re an amateur golfer searching for ways to sharpen up your short game, it might be worth checking out Min Woo Lee’s Instagram page. The 27-year-old has always been known for his touch around the greens, able to pull off all sorts of chips and pitches.

Speaking on his Instagram, Lee said amateurs can get better at chipping by focusing on quality practice rather than just hitting balls aimlessly.

He said: “This is into the grain. One thing about chipping into the grain, I think you need a lot of feel.”

“If I want to spice it up a bit and get a bit of extra feel, I put it in the back of my stance, move it a bit closer to myself and let it roll out.

“Then this is the hard bit where you want to play a higher shot but you’re into the grain so you want to catch the ball first.
