Chipping: Working it out
My chipping has been bad lately.  Very, very bad.  I had gotten in the habit of chipping with one club - my lob wedge - thinking I could just vary my swing based on the distance I needed.  I was horribly imprecise with the lob wedge, so I spent some time on Metro's short game area trying to find a different, more effective chipping method.  It was a mental exercise more than anything.  I've decided to go use one chipping motion - always the same length of swing - with different clubs.  I worked out that a lob wedge chip will go about 6 paces, a sand wedge 8 paces, gap wedge 10 paces, etc.  I go all the way down to a six iron.  And let me tell ya, it's working like magic.  I'm getting it very close all of the sudden, and I feel good about chipping again.  What a relief.
