A method for making chips shots with a novel golf club having a club head positioned at a one hundred degree angle to an elongate club shaft. The golfer stands beside a golf ball while facing a target hole so that the ball is close to an exterior side of the golfer's dominant foot. The golfer's dominant arm is held straight by his or her side and the golfer's dominant hand grasps the elongate shaft. The golfer's other arm reaches across the golfer's chest and grasps the elongate shaft near its upper end. A back swing, forward swing, and follow through are then made in a motion much like the motion made when tossing a hand-held golf ball toward a target hole with an underarm throw.
