No matter how good your golf game is you will not hit every green in regulation. The best golfers are able to chip and putt to minimize the damage of their bad shots. Tiger Woods is a prime example of a golfer who is able to shoot good scores, even when he is not playing well.
If you play golf long enough you will realize how frustrating it is to hit the ball really well, and not be able to make a putt, and also how exilarating it is to not be playing your best, but through chipping and putting shoot a good score.
The reason most people are not able to chip or pitch is that they swing wrong in the first place. To play golf correctly the weight needs to be transferred from the back foot to the front, and the club head hitting the ball with a descending blow, causing the ball to pop into the air.
Leaving the weight on the back foot, trying to lift the ball has the opposite effect. People need to realize that the clubs do not need any help to make the ball go up. Lack of understanding may cause more bad shots than anything.
The two main reason for bad chipping is trying to help the club lift the ball, and the other is swinging too long. How many people have you seen take a long swing for a short shot, and then have to slow down the club. All shots, to be hit correctly, the club needs to be accelerating through the ball.
Golf is usually taught backwards, starting from the long game, then back down to the short game. If people could only learn the principles of golf with the short game, the long game would be much easier.
If you begin with putting, starting with short putts, and working your way out, you will be able to learn how hard you need to hit it. Then go to short chips, gradually working your way out, learning how hard to hit the ball as you move farther away.
Watch good players to see how they chip. When they hit the ball they all have their weight on their front foot. Always remember that your follow through should be longer than your back swing. Practice taking a short swing, hitting down on the ball, accelerating through the ball, and following through at the target.
To learn to play better golf, it is imperative to hit the ball squarely on the clubhead. It takes patience to learn how to play golf correctly, because the best place to learn is not out on the golf course. You should practice on the practice range until you can hit the ball reasonably well.
