The Proper Setup for Perfect Chip Shots

Learn the fundamentals of chipping with LPGA professional Nathalie Filler. This lesson covers everything from club selection to proper setup, focusing on a shot that stays low and rolls toward the hole.

What: Your goal is to learn the correct setup for a chip shot that spends more time rolling on the green than flying in the air.

Why: A proper chip shot setup is essential for clean contact, giving you a consistent and predictable result that helps you save par.

How:

  • Choose the Right Club: Use a lower-lofted club like a pitching wedge, 9-iron, or 8-iron.
  • Position the Ball Back: Place the ball in your stance, aligned with your back foot.
  • Shift Your Weight Forward: Keep most of your weight on your front foot throughout the swing.
  • Press Your Hands Forward: Position your hands in front of the ball, closer to your front thigh.
  • Keep it Low: Make a smooth stroke, keeping the clubhead low to the ground and limiting wrist action.

Welcome to Women's Golf Established 2014

Why Women's Golf is different.

We're not part of some big media company. My husband Richard and I started Women's Golf from our living room because I couldn't find golf lessons that were truly designed for women golfers. I wanted to create the kind of place I wished had existed, a welcoming and ad-free home where golfers like us could learn from the world's best instructors.

We bought the domain name at an auction and I started contacting the world's best teachers. My job is to look after all our members, our instructors and the lessons we share, while Richard takes care of the technology behind the scenes that keeps Women's Golf running.

• 1,300+ beautifully organized lessons with action plans that you can save to your personal collection.

• Designed for Women: Tailored instruction built specifically around how women learn and play.

• Personal Guidance: Tell me about your game and I will recommend the lessons I believe will make the biggest difference for the challenge you are facing right now.

• World-Class Teachers: Step-by-step video instruction and action plans from 28 of the world's best LPGA and PGA instructors.

• Supportive Community: Connect and grow your game alongside thousands of passionate women golfers worldwide.

• Built by Members, For Women Golfers: Women's Golf is funded entirely by members who value a better way to learn and improve. Your membership gives you more tools and guidance while helping us stay ad-free and focused on women golfers.

I would love to help you find the lessons that will make the biggest difference for your game.

You do not need more golf lessons, you need the right ones. Tell me about your game and I will recommend the lessons I believe will help you most with the challenge you are facing right now.

Membership gives you more ways to improve. Save your favourite lessons, build your Action Plan, join the community and get my personal recommendations.

And because Women's Golf is funded entirely by members, your membership helps us stay ad-free and focused on helping women golfers everywhere.
