chip-shot

Short golf approach

A chip shot is a short, lofted golf stroke played near the green, designed to pop the ball into the air briefly before it rolls toward the hole.

The term extends to any easy, close-range attempt: The field goal was a chip shot from twenty yards.

In soccer, a chip shot lobs the ball over the goalkeeper.
