Tina Mickelson on how to chip from a greenside rough
Tina Mickelson offers her advice on chipping from a greenside rough in this video golf lesson.

In order to get the ball higher, the stance and the clubface need to be fairly open, and then during the swing, accelerate through the ball. When finishing, be sure that the club is pointed in the same direction as your target line. Even though the rough prevents the golf ball from getting any backspin, the added height will get the ball to the green.
