Attacking a "turret-shaped" green that is high above the fairway requires a high toss, especially if the green is surrounded by bunkers almost all around, and the greater the arc, the more likely it is to hit the green. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The No. 1 hole on the Royal Villa Golf Course follows the normal designer's three-shot green, adjusts one shot on the green, and then hits the ball into the hole with one stroke.

With such a long fairway and a turret-shaped green that rises a lot above the fairway, a par three green is the safest and most reasonable. According to the normal play, the second shot hits the ball into the range of 70 meters from the green, and then the third shot with the cleaver hits the ball smoothly to the green.

The Grandmaster, on the other hand, started attacking the green on the second shot, which is really rare on this hole, and few people can do it. Especially with a five-iron at a distance of 250 yards, it's really hard to hit the green directly.

In fact, if the Grandmaster wants to, then it is a very simple thing to hit the green directly on the second shot, and the grandmaster's golf skills and his physical fitness can be called a metamorphosis, the grandmaster is fully sure to attack the green in this shot.

It's just that the grandmaster didn't want to behave so shockingly, so when he played this ball, he used a little more power, and he used an iron rod to hit the ball, and the landing point of the ball was not so stable, so although the ball hit the green, the ball continued to roll forward after landing, and then slowly and leisurely finally plunged into the bunker on the other side of the green.

"Alas, it's a pity, you're a little stronger. But it's pretty good. King Wen said with a hint of regret on his face.

The Grandmaster also shook his head with a feigned regret, turned around and walked towards the cart parked on the ball lane.

After a while, the cart pulled the three people to the vicinity of the green. By this time, the caddie, who had arrived early, had already found the Grandmaster's golf ball that had fallen in the bunker.

The balls are stacked on the edge of the bunker and green, but they are still bunkers.

The grandmaster looked at the ball and said with a smile: "Third uncle, should I use a bunker pole here?"

King Wen nodded, then got out of the bunker, squatted in the bunker and looked in the direction of the hole, then walked up again, crouched down and looked at the slope and direction of the green.

Seeing King Wen do this, the Grandmaster also realized that he seemed to be missing a very important observation.

The greens are not set in stone and the greens are different for every hole. Whether it's the size of the slope, the direction of the slope, or the finesse of the turf, these conditions determine whether your ball will land on the hole within the required number of strokes.

Playing golf and hitting the green only means that you have the opportunity to attack the hole from close range, but it does not mean that you will end up with the ball on the hole.

Each green is different, so when you get on the green, depending on where your ball is, you need to figure out as much as you can about the green, and then decide how to play your next shot based on the green.

For example, if your ball hits the green and your ball is almost seventeen yards away from the hole, you will need to use a putt to solve the ball.

But now your ball and hole are due east and west, and the slope of the green is high in the south and low in the north, and the slope is still relatively large, so when you use putting, you must not aim at the hole to putt. Because when you aim for a putt, because of the slope of the green, your ball will gradually drift away from the hole as it rolls, and eventually pass by on the hole, wasting a shot on you.

In this case, what you need to do is calculate the relationship between the slope and the speed and strength of the ball, and then aim slightly in the direction of the south side of the hole, that is, push the shot in the direction of the south side of the hole.

In this way, after the ball goes out, it will draw an arc on the turf because of the slope, and the end of the arc is exactly the hole.

Congratulations, you've done a great job with this putt.

That's where it comes to researching the greens thoroughly.

Like this green, except for the slightly higher height, everything else is relatively normal, and the slope of the whole green changes very little, but just near the hole, you can still see some of the high in the south and low in the north.

In other words, if the Grandmaster were to dig the ball with a bunker club, he would need to use a little bit more force. After all, his ball is now in the bunker on the north side of the green, and the green is a bit high in the south and low in the north, especially in the terrain near the hole, so the shot needs to be a little harder.

The Grandmaster took a bunker pole from the caddy and got down the bunker, stood next to the ball, constantly adjusting the direction of his body, and finally stood still, raised the bunker pole with both hands, and gently swung it, while hitting the ball high, he also brought up a large piece of sand.

King Wen, Xiao Zhengtai, and the Grandmaster all stared at the small white ball, only to see that the ball rose into the air, crossed a parabola in mid-air, and finally landed not far from the hole, and then continued to roll forward for a distance, stopping about fifty centimeters away from the hole.

The angles are very accurate, but unfortunately the dynamics are a little bit off.

King Wen and Xiao Zhengtai both sighed, it was obvious that the previous shot was a little too strong, which caused the ball to roll into the bunker, and this one, because the strength was a little less, it didn't roll into the hole half a meter away.

If the Grandmaster had been able to play both shots, he might have been able to hit a nice eagle on the hole (PS: two strokes below par), but right now, the best result was a birdie (PS: one shot below par).

But even with a birdie is not easy on the 722-yard hole.

At the very least, His Royal Highness King Wen asked himself, if it were him, he would never be able to catch a birdie on this hole, and it would be very good to be able to shoot a par-5, birdie, eagle? That's not what we do!

Seeing a beautiful eagle ball slipping away right under their noses, how could King Wen and Xiao Zhengtai not feel sorry?

Of course, the Grandmaster has no regrets, all of this was done under his control. If the Grandmaster is playing to his full potential, it will be perfectly fine for him to catch an eagle on this hole, and if he is lucky, he may not be able to hit a double eagle (PS: three under par). After all, when the grandmaster hit the second shot, he was already qualified to hit the hole!

So the grandmaster walked up to the ball with a smile on his face, and after standing in position, he made a gentle putt, and the white golf ball finally landed on the hole!
