The stats behind putting vs. chipping from off the green | Lou Stagner | The Golfer's Journal 

Great vid and thank you. Playing for 40+ years, I've spent many years in singles, sometimes low and now mid-singles. For me, experience brings a much better read of the ball behaviour when you're sizing up shots around the green. In general, I try to use the lowest club that will get me onto the green and rolling if it's an uphill green, almost the opposite for downhill. Rarely do I use putter and that's worked for me. My short game is by far my strongest suite and that's because I practice it a lot. Cheers and thanks from Sydney - Dave

Makes sense. It's nice to hear someone confirm general adages with hard data.

If “someone” was like a 28 handicap, and focused on using 2, maybe 3 clubs around the green, should I stick to the lower lofts? 8,9,p
