1). PurePoint Golf Instruction Chip Shot – Bump and Run By : David Nevogt
Copyright 2006 David Nevogt I’m going to describe two very different golf shots to you. One is called a pitch shot with loft, and the other is called a chip shot with run. Now what’s the difference? Well, first of all, sometimes the pin is in a situation where you have to go over an uneven lie, or you have to go over the edge of a bunker, or you have to go over a little tree and you need it to stop a little quicker.

4). Greenside Bunkers - Getting out of the Sand Golf Lesson By : David Nevogt
Copyright 2006 David Nevogt I have a tip on getting out of the sand that you're just going to love not matter if you're a new golfer or if you're a +3 handicap. When you have a buried bunker shot, you either make a great big smash at it and the ball doesn’t move but a foot or two, or, if you happen to hit it out, it takes off on a line drive and it doesn’t have any backspin on it, and you whack it over the green.

5). PurePoint Golf Chip Shot Tips – Short Game By : David Nevogt
Copyright 2006 David Nevogt I recently played a round of golf with a friend of mine. Every time he had a chip shot, he used a sand wedge. It didn’t matter if he had a short chip shot or long chip shot. Every single time he chipped the ball, he chipped it with a sand wedge. Let me tell you what the problem with that is. If you use a lofted golf club to chip a golf ball, you might be okay on the smaller chip shots, the short ones, where you don’t have to make too big of a golf swing.

Copyright 2006 David Nevogt If you have been slicing the golf ball, this tip is for you. Here’s how to cure a golf slice. The way I grip the golf club enables the club face to return square when it comes back down to the golf ball. I don’t have any challenges with slicing the golf ball. But if you've been slicing the golf ball and when you look down at your left hand and you don’t see any knuckles, your club face is probably wide open at impact.

Copyright 2006 David Nevogt I have a great tip for you that’s going to end all the doubt you had in your mind about golf setup and where the golf ball goes in your stance. It’s called ball position. A lot of amateurs, unfortunately, address the golf ball, what I call, backwards. They come in and they put their feet down and try to aim where they're going, either down the fairway or towards the pin, and then they just stand to the golf club that they're holding onto.
