Blair O’Neal Shows How to Curve a Golf Ball Around a Tree | Sexiest Shots in Golf | Golf Digest

In this episode of Sexiest Shots in Golf , pro golfer and model Blair O’Neal shows you how to curve the golf ball around a tree. Transcript You know what s sexy? Curves are sexy. Now wait a second, I m talking about the curves on the golf course. The type of shot when you have to curve the ball around a tree. Whether you have to cut it or draw it to know that you re gonna be able to get yourself back into fairway, now that is hot. One of the sexiest shots I ve ever seen is in when Bubba Watson hooked it onto the green in the Masters to win the green jacket. Now that was a sexy shot. So I hit my tee shot in the rough, and as you can see, I m right behind a tree, so I m gonna have to curve this ball around the tree to get it on to the green. So I bet you wanna know how I hit that shot. First I set the club head in the direction that I want the ball to start on. In this case it s gonna be right of the tree. Next I m gonna align my body even farther right of the tree. This is really gonna help me curve the ball back into the fairway. The final step is to swing along my body. So it looks something like this. And boom, you re on the green. So now if you re gonna cut the ball, you re gonna set your club head left of the tree, and that s the line that the ball s gonna start on. This time I m gonna set my body farther left of the tree, and that s gonna help me curve the ball back into the fairway. And finally, I m gonna swing along my body line. And those are the sexiest curves in golf. Thanks for watching Golf s Sexiest shots. Make sure and like this video and I ll make sure I give each and every one of you your own private golf lesson.
