Quick Summary
A chip shot in golf is a short, low approach shot designed to loft the ball onto the green, allowing it to roll towards the hole. This type of shot is typically used when a player is near the green but not yet on it. A chip shot is also sometimes referred to as a "pitch-and-run shot". The primary goal is to get the ball onto the green and rolling, rather than hitting it high and letting it stop quickly.123
