Hitting A Golf Ball Over An Obstacle
Every golfer has to hit their ball over something. It may not happen every round, but it does happen where an obstacle is between the ball and intended target.

If you ask any golfer, they will state that they want to shoot their lowest score each time they tee it up. This statement strikes at the heart of why many golfers pick up the sticks and chase a little white ball for about 4.5 hours in the first place.

Bobby Jones is a legend in golf. Trying to capitalize on Jones’ amazing abilities, Warner Brothers created a series of 18 golf videos in 1931 through 1932 that addressed many challenges with a golf swing. I have decided to watch all of the videos over the next few weeks because the information offered by Jones is universal for all amateurs. After watching my first video on casting (what we call it now), Jones highlighted exactly what my challenges were over the space of my golfing career. He explains the issue and offers a solution that is simple and understandable. This is information that is useful for all golfers regardless of their abilities.
