You should play this from within 10ft of the green and hit the ball high enough to clear long grass, land on the green and run the rest of the way to the hole.
Simplicity is the key to chipping.
A golf shot we recommend is the Chip-Putt . This is a chip shot with a putting like motion i.e. a pendulum rocking motion of the shoulders with no wrist break. This is an easy shot to repeat as the method comes from your already established putting stroke. Using your putting grip, take a 7 iron and hold it near the end of the grip. Take a narrow open stance with your weight on the left side, ball position is opposite the right ear, as in fig 1.
