How to hook the ball to
escape from the trees:
By Joe Powell, Director of Golf
& PGA Professional
Often times golfers will find
themselves in the trees and they need
to know how to escape and get on the
green or simply back into play. Being
able to hook the ball drastically will
help you get back in play. It is very
important to follow these steps:
u Choose a club with sufficient loft as
you will need the loft to get out of the
rough, and also you will be de-lofting
the club slightly as you hit the hook.
v Close your stance, i.e. aim your
feet and body to the right, where
you want the ball to start.
w Next, aim your clubface where
you want the ball to finish.
x Move the ball back in your stance
about one ball width.
y Now, most important, swing the
club along the line where your feet
and body are aiming. The ball will start
to the right and hook back
towards the fairway
and/or green.
With a little practice you
will become an escape
artist! You can email me
at [email protected] for
suggestions for next
month’s tip or to set
up a lesson.
