In May 2025, many of us have decided to participate in the 30-Day Golf Coach4aday Challenge. Each day the goal is to share something about a particular golf course, golf equipment, or to actually get on the course and play a few holes. Golf is the only sport where you can be furious, humbled, and ecstatic—all in the span of one hole, and still call it “relaxing.” It’s a game where you are cajoling and chasing a tiny ball into a gopher hole. For many it becomes a lifelong obsession and an excuse to buy outrageous pants and the latest driver.
Today my golf observation is on a golf club called the CHIPPER.
This challenge will not be for everybody but there are plenty that enjoy the game despite not being anywhere close to playing at a high level. That includes me.
Golf 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to getting out on the golf course—but if that’s not in the cards, share a story about a favorite course or a piece of gear you love (or love to hate).
- Record something about your day on the course or talk about a golf course or piece of equipment.
- Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
Day 26-Chipper
There are golf clubs that many experts believe can help the high handicapper improve their scoring. One of those sticks in a “chipper“. It is in essence the merger between a putter and a wedge. Despite its effectiveness it does carry a stigma of not being as glamourous as a lofted or gap wedge.
A chipper is a specialty golf club designed to simplify short shots around the green by combining the loft of a short iron with the upright lie and stroke style of a putter. It helps golfers make clean, controlled chips with a putting-like motion, making it easier to get the ball airborne and rolling toward the hole.
If you want to learn about the club here is a YouTube Video from Matt Fisher and his channel MyShortGame. Matt even answers the question what club the chipper would replace in your bag.
