How to Hit Pitch Shots in Golf
The golf pitching tips, lessons and instruction in this section will help you master the game from 100 yards in.
Pitching and chipping are often rolled into one, but I’ve split them into two separate sections on this site.
What is the difference between a pitch shot and a chip shot?
For clarification, any distance that requires less than a full swing (typically anything under 80-100 yards), we’ll call a pitch shot. Anything around the fringes or the apron of the green (about 25 yards and in from the pin), we’ll call a chip shot. (For chipping tips, see this section)
The pitching tips and lessons below cover the fundamentals like proper setup, distance control and club selection.
