little bounce or roll With the aim of eventually sliding the club head under the ball assume the following position Ball opposite front foot Open stance feet aiming toward the left Hands straight back from the club head Open club face aiming right of the target The flip refers to the movement of the hands and wrists Swing the club back mainly by breaking your wrists Swing through again using extra wrist action The open club face should slide under the ball In this way the ball will seem to be picked directly up and set down quietly beside the pin Because of the flipping of the wrists this shot is risky Remain bent over throughout the swing Head still Practice the flip shot Develop an even rhythm It can be extremely effective Horseshoe Valley Resort public recreation area with private
