Being able to understand how to hit fantastic golf shots like professionals is a serious golfer’s dream. We watch and try to learn, but there is always something that is overlooked that makes the world of difference to the shot. After watching The Masters, I thought about how Tiger Woods was able to maneuver the ball around the green to leave himself a makeable putt. The number of times he practiced this shot would be astounding. I also thought, I sure would love to know how he makes these amazing chips. Well, look no further!

A Soaked Third Round At The Masters
As expected the third round of the Masters was rain soaked. Except for an hour or so in the morning, the rain pelted all the players.
