I suppose that is a totally useless skill except you simply want to impress your gambling companions... But it is the sort of cool skill to have (the men try it on #16 at Augusta every year, you know) that I couldn't withstand posting this.
This is yet another of Golf Digest's Sexiest Shots in Golf videos, focusing on -- what else? -- how to skip a golf ball across a water hazard. This one features Kelly Rohrbach (Sports Illustrated’s Rookie Model of the Year) and Blair O'Neal, who's done a number of these videos before.
The keys to pulling this shot off?
- Use a low-lofted iron or hybrid. (Blair is using a 4-iron in the video.)
- You MUST hit the ball first!
- Open your stance slightly, open the club face slightly, and play the ball way back in your stance, off your back foot. (You aren't interested in getting loft, folks.)
