I can not get enough of a swing to get the ball to the hole. I have 150 yards here there's no way I can hit it 150 yards from this little teeny back swing so I'll play safe down close to the green now the trick in playing this ball is down in deep grass it's not a regular swing where your club would catch the grass long before it got to the ball the thing that you want to do is to get your Club on the ball as close as possible and and so therefore I got to go to a little more lofted club uh I'm expecting this ball to fly other words it should go a little bit further than normal so then you have to allow for if it's going to fly okay but uh one thing you don't want to do is to take uh a club that you think we going to play off the Fairway you won't get it out very uh very well so now I must pick the club up and come straight down on almost straight down on the ball to get the club to the ball to make it pop up you cannot put backs spin on the club on the ball uh from that kind of a l so you must allow for the run you must use enough Club but it's proverbially one that's a little bit more Loft on it now it's down in this little hole and on bare ground uh so it's like you'd play the shot of the high grass you must try to get as near to the ball as possible catch the ball first if you can and allow for the run because you will not get much back spin out of a lie like that do you watch I'll hit right at the ball and you see the amount of uh of Earth I took on the follow through because I hit had to hit straight down on the ball and force it up rather than try to pick it up you hit down and through if you'll notice how deep that divid is uh that's a way to play those shots that you have and take a little bit more Loft on the club than normal and then force it out my feet are above the ball and it's on a Down slope running uh away from me now I'm playing this shot I will stand closer to the ball than normal because the ball is below my feet and therefore I take the full length of the shaft now I'm playing this ball back just a little past the center of my feet so I got must go down with the Contour of the ground my swing will follow down the Contour of the ground ground striking the ball first now if I were to play the ball forward and play from back here chances are I would hit behind it way here so you have to uh have to alter your stance a little bit and put the ball back toward the right foot here and strike the ball on the down swing and above all keep that head still right over the ball see I take the ball and then the turf but the the beauty is you must stay there with it and you must stand just a little closer to it than a normal shot when the ball is below your feet when the ball is above your feet is a little bit different than the one that's below your feet and on the down slow now I have a fairly flat stance and but the ball is still above my feet so I will reach for the ball a little bit further also will shorten my grip on the the club if you notice I'll go down about 2 in now that brings me a level for an ordinary swing a regular swing my stance are the same as if I were playing a regular shot now from this lie you're inclined to pull the ball so always play for a little pull so I'll aim to the right side of the green and allow for the pull on this particular shot
