The chip that cost Perry the Masters

Empowered Golf: The chip that cost Perry the Masters

A two-shot lead with two holes to play may seem like a sure bet, but when Kenny Perry's ball ended up over the green on the 71st hole of the Masters on Sunday, a simple chip turned into a nightmarish series of events that led to his loss in the playoff to Angel Cabrera.

The Shot — A downhill chip with the slope of the green going away from you.

The Strategy — any time the slope of the green is going away from you, the key is to land the ball as soft as possible with a higher lofted club. When the ball hits the putting surface, the angle of the slope is going to kick the ball forward. So play a higher-lofted club like a lob or sand wedge. Unfortunately, Perry went with a lower-lofted club and the ball ran too far past the hole to the front of the green, which led to a two-putt bogey.

The Technique — Chipping is nothing more than the extension of a putting stroke. It is very important to maintain the angles that you set up at address throughout the swing. The key to good chipping is to first and foremost lean the shaft toward the target creating a straight line going up the leading arm and then maintaining that angle throughout the swing.

Made in America Lead-Free Putting Turf

Guaranteed to Be Safe for Your Athlete and the Environment

By Joe Ali, President of Golf Greens Fore U and Olympia Turf, Red Bank, NJ

In this day and age, with imports coming in from destinations around the world, I am proud that Golf Greens Fore U and our Olympia Turf is manufactured here, in the USA, where tighter controls means safer products for your family and the environment. All of our products are manufactured under strict OASHA and EPA requirements.

Our exclusive Olympia and putting turf is 100 percent lead-free, and made of 70 percent recycled materials. As a father of two young children, I am like other parents who feel that products made in the USA, are safer due to tighter, on-shore regulations.

In athletic arenas and on playing fields, I am also enthused to say our turf is kinder, and gentler on athletes if and when they slip and fall. That is something, my own children will be proud of one day as well.

As president and owner of Golf Greens Fore U, a Red Bank, New Jersey-based firm, we also believe in giving back to the community, which is why we donated $7,500 of synthetic turf to inner-city youth in New Orleans earlier this year. We will also be participating in the Beauty Ball in New Jersey, on April 19^th, and in a myriad of golfing and charity events we plan to blog, and twitter.
