My Short Game Was Utterly Horrific... Until I Discovered This Magical Chip Shot!

A magical setting, filled with lit candles, a dusty spell book and blue smoke filling the room, with an inset image of a golfer setup to play a chip shot floating in an orb like shape above the spell book as if by magic.

I won't try to gloss over this, my short game was utterly horrific for a short period recently - and I was struggling to put together anything close to a decent score.

I started doubting myself, questioning how far to stand from the golf ball and playing around with my golf grip, but really the problem was a knowledge issue rather than a technical one.
