Last Sunday I played with some friends at Lombard Glen. I tried to chip a ball with intention around the green of Hole 9 but unfortunately I cut my wedge head into ground before the ball about 3 inches away. The ball didn't move. Should it count as one stroke? My point is my swing was not complete because it stopped before the ball however I did intent to hit the ball. Actually I would blame the bare ground and uphill slope.

Thank you very much for your advice.
