One of the joys of golf is facing the obstacles on the course, the bunkers, the waters and, of course, the trees on both sides of the fairways.
(Lao Mi is a recognized saver)
When it comes to tree-related saves, most people will think of old rice for the first time. And the tree, as one of the obstacles, can always bring a lot of saves.
(Tiger saves the ball in the tree pit at the 2019 World Championships- Dell Technologies Hole)
Brother Tiger is amused by himself!
(This ball means small)
In addition to the tree pit, it is also a troublesome thing for the ball to fall around the tall trees.
There are many accidents that happen when saving a ball under a tree, and breaking the club is one of them. In the face of such moments in the game, it is important to have unnecessary momentum and full mental preparation.
(You can hear the crisp sound of the club breaking across the screen)
No, "Big Easy Brother" Ernie Els staged a scene of breaking the club in the second round of the 2015 Wisper Championship.
(Practice a few more times, it's always right to be cautious)
When encountering such a small episode at a critical moment, even a professional player who has experienced many battles can sometimes be nervous.
At the 2013 Players Championship, "White Tiger" Westwood may have been worried that the club would hit the trunk of the tree and affect his movements.
(The ball was empty, somewhat a pity)
It can be seen that in order to achieve a perfect under-tree save, it is not only necessary to master the swing strength and pinch the swing angle, but also to do a good job in psychological construction.
At the 2012 AT&T National Championship, Tigers demonstrated a "textbook" level demonstration.
(Saving the ball under the tree requires skill)
Take a different angle and enjoy it again!
(The force and angle are perfect)
If you can still cope with a tree, then facing a tree is to open the "hell" mode.
In the first round of the 2011 Valerodes State Open, Luo Xiangyu drove the ball into the bushes on the right side of the fairway on the 9th hole, starting a difficult "save trip".
(The second shot went out and the ball bounced back)
Seventh, eighth... He is still struggling "struggling" in the bushes.
(It's like a bush bar)
After shooting the 12th, the ball finally landed on the fairway.
After experiencing this "bush exploration", I believe that Luo Xiangyu must have a lot of experience in how to maintain patience.
(The ball is finally back on the fairway)
Sometimes, the challenges of trees don't stop at ground.
In the final round of the 2013 Arnold Palmer Invitational, Garcia showed what the "desperate three langs" of the golf world look like.
(The final round is really a fight)
He successfully hit the ball stuck in the tree back into the fairway with the toe of the putter, winning a cheer from the scene, along with the players in the group.
(Skilled and bold)
Sometimes, though, trees can do a little favor. Spieth had such good fortune at the 2015 RBC Legacy Golf Tournament.
After a shot at the green, the ball crashed into a tree trunk and bounced near the hole, where he managed to catch the bird.
(The trunk helps Spieth)
Finally, let's review old rice's under the tree to save the ball. It doesn't matter if you don't have the blessing of good luck, you can also rely on strength!
