Tip of the week- Chip with a fairway wood on poor lies

If you are faced with a shot from just off the green but the ball is sitting down or on a tight lie try using your fairway wood like a putter. The loft on the club helps to pop the ball out of the bad lie and get it rolling. This is definitely a safer way to play the shot than trying to chip it with a wedge, it takes very little effort to get the ball rolling up onto the green.
