The Chip-and-Run Formula: The Definitive Rule of 12 Guide for Senior Golfers

Stop guessing around the greens. The Chip-and-Run Formula gives you a mathematically grounded club selection system that turns every chip shot into simple arithmetic — no feel, no guesswork, no lob wedge disasters.

The Rule of 12 explained:

Divide your roll distance by your carry distance. Subtract from 12. That number is your club—every time.

12 − (Roll ÷ Carry) = Club Number

SW=12 · GW=11 · PW=10 · 9i=9 · 8i=8 · 7i=7 · 6i=6

Inside this guide:

• The full Rule of 12 formula with a complete baseline reference table for every club from sand wedge to 6-iron
• How to calibrate for real conditions: firm turf, wet turf, fast greens, slow greens, uphill, downhill, and grain direction
• The wristless putting stroke that makes the formula work consistently
• A 5-second pre-shot checklist you can use mid-round without slowing down play
• Why senior golfers who switch to the chip-and-run system score better immediately

Who this is for: Senior golfers who are tired of the inconsistency of high-loft wedge play and want a reliable, low-stress system that gets the ball close every time.
