Rule of 12 CHIPPING

Golf Sidekick demonstrates Paul Runyan's famous Rule of 12 chipping technique (the 'Chip and Runyan'). By picking a landing spot roughly one yard onto the green and calculating the ratio between carry distance and roll-out, golfers can select the correct club for effortless distance control.

• Pick a target landing spot roughly one yard onto the green surface.
• Pace off your carry distance versus the required roll-out distance to the hole.
• Apply Paul Runyan's Rule of 12 ratio to select the ideal club.
• Use a toe-down, low-to-the-ground chipping technique and trust the calculation.
