Wow, that was some dumb thing to do. If this was real I hope the guy is okay. Can't believe anyone would do something this stupid.

I have done some pretty dumb things in my life. However watching this makes me feel a little bit better about some of those antics. Hitting that ice before it broke had to hurt.  Did he save the club?

There is always someone who does something stupid.  I am surprised he even walked out into the middle of the frozen pond.

Legendary gambler Titanic Thompson used to bet that he could drive a golf ball 500 yards with a hickory shafted club.  He would win by hitting his ball onto a frozen lake for never ending roll.  I assume he didn't actually stand on the lake though.

If that ice was thick enough and I had skates on. I'd love to give that a shot. Maybe with the old CCM.

Yeah, it's a little hard to "splash" the ball off of frozen ice! I'm pretty good out of "rained on" bunkers, but even with fine sand, they're not as hard as ice.

Seriously a total miss. Same old rules apply. If you don't hit the sweet spot it's painful.

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

Gotta keep that head still...

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
