Release 1: the low chip-and-run

The chip and run (release one) is the basic low shot for when you have green to work with. Set the butt of the grip pointing near your front hip so the club presents the front of the bounce, hit with a little forward lean for a slightly ball-first contact, then let the ball run out.
