16 Chips, 16 Moments: What Each Chip in Chip n Win Means

Every round of golf tells a story. Chip n Win turns those stories into something you can hold, pass around, and laugh about. Each of the 16 chips in the game represents a different moment on the course — from the brilliant to the brutal. In this post, we’re breaking down exactly what each chip means, so you know when to claim it, when to pass it, and when to hide your shame.

Green Chips (The Good Ones)

These are the chips you want to keep. Each one marks a highlight from your round. If you earn one, you’ll want to hang onto it.

✅ Birdie

You make a birdie on any hole? Take the Birdie chip. It’s one of the most coveted green chips in the set.

✅ Eagle

Drop an eagle? Rare, but glorious. You get the Eagle chip. Big points, big bragging rights.

✅ One Putt

Hole a putt in one stroke. Doesn’t matter if it’s for par or triple — if it’s one stroke, this chip is yours.

✅ Chip In

If you hole out from off the green, grab the Chip In chip. Bonus points if you act like you meant it.

✅ Sand Save

Up and down from the bunker? That’s a Sand Save — take the chip and walk out of the trap like a legend.

✅ Nearest Pin

If you’re closest to the flag on a par 3 after everyone’s tee shot, you earn this one.

✅ 3 Pars in a Row

Consistency counts. If you make three pars in a row at any point in the round, this chip is yours.

✅ Two Birdies in a Row

Stack two birdies back to back? That’s rare. That’s worth a chip.

Red Chips (The Ones You Want to Avoid)

If your shot matches the chip, you take it. And yes, it’s just as satisfying to pass them off as it is brutal to receive them.

❌ Lost Ball

Hit one out of bounds or lose your ball entirely? Take the Lost Ball chip. And the penalty.

❌ Water

Find the drink? That’s the Water chip. No explanations needed.

❌ Sand

Land in the bunker? It doesn’t matter if you get out clean or not. You’re taking the Sand chip.

❌ Hit a Tree

Hit a tree with your shot? Even if it bounces back into play — this chip is yours.

❌ 3 Putts

It happens to the best of us. And the worst of us. Three putts = chip.

❌ Eight

Card an eight (or more) on any hole? This one’s yours. It’s as painful as it sounds.

❌ Seven

Make a seven on any hole? It’s not quite an eight, but still chip-worthy.

❌ Lost Temper

Throw a club? Slam a putter? Muted rage counts too. Your playing partners will know if you’ve earned this one.

Each chip in Chip N Win brings a different kind of drama, celebration, or chaos to your round. The more you play, the more each chip becomes part of your group’s inside jokes and stories.
