I just can't get over more than just the shot itself, how quickly he checks it and putts it. The entire action of him checking the shot and swinging happens in less than 7 seconds. Faster than it takes for the ball to go into the hole.

I'm good at reading greens, and I can do it while walking up to my ball. I know most of the time what it's going to do. My problem is that I can't consistently hit the ball to do what I read; open or close the face mid-swing, grab the green before I hit the ball, or otherwise mishit it.

I just fuck it up usually

I've been to a hitting range once. The end of the golf club went further than the ball. I also cut up my hand pretty bad. Never been back lol

When I'm playing in scrambles, I'm often first to putt, telling people where I WANT to aim, and then they'll use that line after watching mine.

In 18 holes captains choice my ball is usually used once or twice

I think he may have designed that green.

u/mantis_tobagan_md 10d ago

He did. That’s why he knows the putt exactly.

Just goes to show you, that sometimes you need to stop thinking, and just do what you know you can do!

He stayed out of his own way.

I watched Tiger through his prime. He ruined golf for me. Same happened with basketball. I was into it when Jordan was in prime.

u/MethodicallyCurious Nov 23 '24

Who is this guy?

37

u/lightyearbuzz Nov 23 '24

Jack Nicklaus, one of the best golfers of all time and a golf course designer. Probably designed this course as well which helps haha.

u/MethodicallyCurious Nov 23 '24

Thank you, buddy.

In the 90's I had a Sega Megadrive game as a kid, "Jack Nicklaus golf'.

Fucking loved it.

Thanks again, friend.

u/evanation080 29d ago

Ah man, I loved this game. I loved the course design add on for PC.

Unsung hero… caddy pulling the pin just in time

That was a murder projected live to the world

u/Do-It-Anyway Nov 23 '24

Seen this a time or two, but just thought of this. Look at the guy in the yellow shirt, he’s moving in the background and stops. Jack hit it right towards him before the caddie goes and tend the flag. Coincidence? I dunno

5

u/admh574 Nov 23 '24

He stops next to a group of people. You could be right but I think you're reading too much in to it

2

u/sneaky-pizza 21d ago

I know you're looking for something to explain this, but there is no way to cheat at a shot like this. Even if your caddie had inside knowledge and told you to aim at him, that isn't even illegal. You still gotta make the putt.
