Golfers explain water skip strategyfrom @themasters

Transcript

Getting it across has been very successful. Getting on the green is another challenge in itself. I'd always hit two. I don't think I've ever hit the green there. I think I've only left it in the better. That's a lie. Let's just go with 20%. I keep wanting to change club. I never quite get it right. I gave up trying to be cute and thinking, tier I no. I'm gonna judge this on the slope and roll it down in the hole. I took a six or seven iron, and you try to fly it, I'd say, more than halfway. You get one really good skip, maybe two, because you really want that first or second bounce to be up in the air no it gets onto the grass. I'd say the guys are most successful. Usually have, like, a one mid skip, and the second bounce kind of floats in, and then you can hit on the green. I try to only have it skip once. That's my strategy. Seems like the more you skip it, the easier it is to go right into the bank. If you're able to just fly it pretty far and have it skip once, that seems to be the way to do it. My first year, I'd get up there rank I've got a four iron and I feel like, man, if I hit down on this, I feel like it's just gonna go plop into the better. And so I decided to shallow out a little bit to make sure it didn't. And it took off like an airplane. It went right along the better, never touched it, and then just slowly glided up right into the patrons behind Number 16 Green. So I've gotten better since my first time. Just make sure you hit it hard enough that it skipped a couple times and it gets over the water and everyone's happy. For me, it's probably skipping it midway to just past midway and then having four or five skips to get enough heat over the bank somehow in the green. Ultimate satisfaction, it has to skip at least like six or seven tier. Like, one skip's just not doing it, is it? You have to get that landing spot and the flight that's gonna skip it a bunch of times and then roll up. My strategy is just like best a four iron straight down into the water as quick as possible, best it's not gonna like dance across the top of the better. So I've probably hit the green like twice in 20 tries now. I always have five or six iron. You need to hit it into the water early. If you get it going, rising too early, it doesn't have any speed at the end, and it rolls into the bank. So I feel like you need to hit it into the water early, and then it gets speed, and then bounces a couple more times and hopefully on through tier green.
