A “chip” golf stroke is not the same as a “chipped” tooth, but there are jokes.

Stroke types
Chip
The chip is a type of shot generally used from short range around the green usually under 40 yards. Although any club may be used, and there are specialist chipping clubs (or chippers) available, a short iron or wedge is most common.

The goal of the chip is to land the ball safely on the green and let it roll out towards the hole.
