Chip a lofted iron into a bank

When chipping a lofty club into a bank, play the ball well outside the back foot and reduce the loft to keep the trajectory low into the slope. Visualize where the first and second bounces will land and how the slope will move the ball toward the hole. A shot that flies too high will not work its way up the bank.
