USE THE 8 IRON
One of the best ways to add strokes to your scorecard is by using a wedge around the greens
Especially for new golfers or people who don't golf much
Chipping with a 52 56 or 60 degree wedge requires a ton of precision
Instead, try using your 7 or 8 iron from around the green and just hit it like a putt
An 8 iron is much more forgiving and carries more weight, making it easier for the clubhead to slide through the grass
General rule of thumb:
If you can, putt it
If you have to chip, use an 8 iron
And in the rare case of having to elevate the ball quickly, then use a wedge
