When considering making a chip shot from the sand, there are three considerations you should keep in mind:

1. The first consideration has to do with your lie. If the ball is positioned so that you can get a clubhead cleanly on the ball, then you have a possible chip shot in the making.

2. The second factor to consider is just how high the lip is. A chip shot from the sand will send the ball traveling with a very low trajectory, so you can only use the chip technique if the bunker has an extremely low lip.

3. The third and final factor is the location of the pin. It is ideal to have plenty of space between your ball and the flagstick. This is because the sand chip will travel with very little spin and you do not want your ball to keep going too far past the hole.
