Yeah....some of us have to purchase our own clubs so we don’t do something stupid like hit off the cart path. Other people get 2 and 3 sets of clubs handed to them on a regular basis, so they could care less.
Well, one of my best shots was off rocks, about 1 inch from the hole, while playing a 4 man scramble, the fun thing about it was i closed my eyes before swinging the club
I was at the FedEx cup championship a few years ago, and Charley Hoffman hit a terrible tee shot off 1 it rolled under a concessions tent and his drop was on the cartpath. He took a few drops, obviously it rolled, so he placed it on the cartpath, picked it clean threaded the needle through the trees and it landed on the green. That was one of the best cartpath shots I had seen and one of the strangest drop rulings too.
These guys absolutely amaze me. They have arguably every shot in the bag, based on every situation. As good as Phil is, I seem to always see him multiple times in these crazy shots/recovery shots videos lol.
I like how the announcer commented on it too. The way I play if you're anywhere downrange (even where the spectators stand for "normal" shots) you can consider yourself in some sort of danger lol.
@@davidkaplan5517 What rule are you going off of that says it can be replaced if it's damaged in the course of play? New Rule: Under Rule 4.1: A player is allowed to keep using and/or to repair any club damaged during the round, no matter what the damage and even if the player damaged it in anger. A player is not allowed to replace a damaged club, except when it is damaged during the round by an outside influence or natural forces or by someone other than the player or his or her caddie.
Phil finds a lot of cart paths - guess it's an easy decision for these guys to play the shot because they can get a replacement club from the manufacturer trailer at the end of the round. Unfortunately for us, it's a damaged club or buying a new one :)
Sorry, I wanted to edit and delete the message unintentionally. I wanted to say that with friends we take a free drop but not so strict as it is in competition. So if the nearest spot is worst we go back away from the flag to a better place.
@@3k2p6 You get a free drop off a cart path in competition anyway. I think with the pros in these situations they were better off playing it on the path as a drop may have put the ball in a bad or worse lie. These guys are so good they don't have any problem playing off cart paths as you can see :)
Yeah they'll probably just get a brand new club for the next round, and they probably buy a brand new set every year anyways. Whereas you or I will have one set of clubs for many years. A lifetime even for irons if you have really good set.
Yes, but you have to take the nearest point of relief, and that could be dropping it into bushes or rough that may be a terrible lie. And will cost shots, so hitting of the path is the best option.
Coming from someone currently learning about hitting "down" on the ball, and correctly having a trailing divot, I'm starting to wonder if divots are even necessary at all. If you ever watch a close up of a professional golf shot (close up on the ball) you can clearly see that the club hits the ball first, and then inevitably digs into the ground AFTER contact with the ball has already been made. But watching a lot of these shots from the cart path, it looks as if they still make contact with the ball first, but also avoid hitting the cart path entirely, or maybe just a very slight skim. So would that mean you DON'T actually have to make a divot? ever? to hit a perfect golf shot?
Tiger woods first one 😂😂😂😂 Wildin! Choosing to hit it from the cart path with jit sitting five yards in front and down the whole day green 🙌🏾 it’s the blasian gang Nd tony funny for that tooo
There was a teacher that made you hit off of concrete and bare dirt, he supplied clubs, it makes you hit better, when you can consistently hit like that, any grass you land on feels like you can hit it on any green.
Yo Mama Any single person could technically go and play golf.....but how would you watch them? Oh and then there’s all the course officials, green keepers, sponsorship, catering, travel, and hospitality crews.....it’s not just a simple case of one golfer, or even a dozen golfers being responsible.
the fact that people stand so close while they are hitting it. like that tiger shot in the beginning... lol no fear... or 0:34 gotta be insane to be that close.
I guess one of the advantages of having as many fans in the gallery as Tiger is that there's a good chance your hooks will hit somebody before they careen out of bounds
What are the majority of these clips Phil Mickelson? Is it because he hits it on the cart path, more often? Or, is it because he plays it where it lies?
