    Do you think Sergio Garcia practiced this shot or invented it?

    It's just a hard/exaggerated slice. I'm sure it's practiced; a lot. It's really not that difficult of an escape, but it's the practice that lands it on the green.

    Stance is open, face is open, contact on the ball at about 4-5 o'clock swinging through to 11/12 o'clock.

    I'm certainly not as accurate, but I can pull that one off.

    Probably, but the way he's been playing I doubt if he can afford the gas.

    Better yet, don't try to hit a shot on the golf course you haven't practiced.

    Good question, I'm not sure what its called, maybe an "oh shit" shot where when I am in that sort of trouble like under a bush or something where I take a hybrid or a wood and just hit the crap out of it like really hard putting stroke. Usually punches out a worm burner that will skedaddle 180 or so down the fairway. Gotten quite good at it

    You haven't seen me play golf. Sometimes that is a must, like in this situation. I couldn't use my normal method because I was less than 100 out so I had to try and find the right swing to get it where I needed it but not too much. I didn't quite get it right.

    See the above, I will however start working on some of those "saves" and see what I can come up with. Playing again tomorrow morning.

    He's won $400k this year. Plus I'm sure there's an inheritance fund he could tap into it needed. IconLOL.gif

    Absolutely. 99.9% chance out of 100 you won't be able to pull it off.

    So you are saying that there's a 90.1% chance he will make it?

    How often are you able to practice? On average, long are your practice sessions? How much time to devote to your short game?
