Q-School Graduate
I was a bit bored the other night waiting for the wife to stop fannying about in the bathroom, so flicking through the sky+ saved recordings, thought 'I'll watch that' (Greg Norman Tips from the Shark) from the gold ol' Golf Channel (how we miss thee).
He was yabbering on in his outback drawl and talked about the flop shot he developed where he set up as normal but took three fingers from the left hand off the club (middle to little). Last night whilst having a practice 9, I found myself in a situation where a flop was required and thought 'let's give that a cack-handed grip a go'.
Wow.
From a shot that I was very inconsistent with and had little faith in, it suddenly turned into an incredibly easy-to-hit shot. Every time I tried it, the contact and flight were perfect (alright I overhit them but come on) and now I have a shot in the bag that I'd all but given up on.
Greg Norman - who'd have thought it?
