Golf is the highlighted topic this week. Here are 5 top tips submitted by our readers:

• “The question I’m asked most in Golf is how to chip the ball better. A good practice drill is to set the ball back in the stance and form a ‘Y’ shape with your arms and club. Then, swing the ‘Y’ shape from 9 O’clock to 3 O’clock and no more, making sure to swing the club head at the target area.” - DarthFader
• “Another key to consistently getting the ball up and down when chipping is proper weight distribution. Keep at least 60% of your weight on the front foot at address (left foot for right-handed golfers).
  Think of hitting slightly down and through the ball. This will encourage a good weight transfer and, in turn, help complete the follow-through. Keep the back of the left wrist facing the target and don’t let it break down. That’s crucial. Otherwise, your shots will break down as well!” - LearnAboutGolf.com
• “The one thing I always keep in my mind when swinging is keep my eye on the ball, this pretty much eliminates a lot of my problems like picking my head up or being distracted etc.” - Dad
• “Take a wider stance when playing in the wind, keeping a solid base will minimise the affect of the wind on your balance.” - Dad
• “Watching your playing partners’ chips and putts can help you with your shot. Make a mental record of everything; good and bad and try and capitalize on past events.” 4thround
