Simple crisps suddenly become difficult?
It’s often not just down to technique. In this video, you’ll find out why chipping can turn a simple shot into a major mental challenge – and how you can play more consistently around the green with greater clarity, better decision-making and less anxiety.
You’re standing a few metres from the green. The ball is lying in slightly taller grass. It’s actually just a short chip. But suddenly, thoughts start to pop into your head:
Please don’t hit it too fat. Please don’t hit it too thin over the green. Please not that unpleasant mistake again.
That’s exactly when a simple shot turns into a moment of mental pressure.
In this video, I’ll show you why many golfers fail at chipping not because of a lack of skill, but because of fear, past memories, attaching too much importance to the shot, and trying to control it in the wrong way.
You’ll learn how to strip the chip back to its actual purpose: read the lie, choose your landing spot, play the simplest option and execute the shot clearly. The key idea:
A simple chip doesn’t become difficult because it’s long. It becomes difficult when you make it too big in your mind.
Golf Performance Weekend in Westendorf
At my home club, the Kitzbüheler Alpen Westendorf Golf Club, I am not offering any traditional mental training weeks for groups this year.
Instead, I’ll be working with individuals directly on the course – over an extended Golf Performance Weekend from Friday to Sunday.
We’ll be working where golf is truly decided:
- next to the green
- in the semi-rough
- on slopes
- after mistakes
- before important putts
- in high-pressure situations
- when others are watching
- when a small shot suddenly becomes a major inner moment
The aim is no longer theory. The aim is implementation: clearer decisions, more consistent routines, better self-management and greater confidence in real game situations.
If you’re interested in the personalised golf performance weekend at GC Kitzbüheler Alpen Westendorf interests you, please send me a short email with the sentence:
“I’m interested.”

You’ll then receive further information on the programme, dates and options.
