00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.940
This course game is arbitrary OB. So arbitrary OB is exactly how it sounds.
2
00:00:05.940 --> 00:00:11.340
On every shot you're going to pick an arbitrary direction to be OB. So what you
3
00:00:11.340 --> 00:00:16.820
may say is this t-shot, the left side of the rough is OB. The next one you know
4
00:00:16.820 --> 00:00:22.420
hitting into the green you could say the right side is OB. Following standard
5
00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:26.820
OB rules if you hit it there you have to drop another ball and play it as your
6
00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:32.140
or as your third shot so stroke and distance. Well this really challenges you
7
00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:35.900
to learn how to control the trajectory of your shots to eliminate what is
8
00:00:35.900 --> 00:00:41.140
probably the worst miss. So I recommend you pick the arbitrary OB to be the
9
00:00:41.140 --> 00:00:41.340
side
10
00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:46.150
that will ultimately leave you with the worst shot for the next shot. It doesn
11
00:00:46.150 --> 00:00:46.220
't
12
00:00:46.220 --> 00:00:50.060
work once you get on the green just put out as normal but up until you get to
13
00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:53.700
the green. So if it's par 5 your first second third shot, if it's par 4 first
14
00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:57.220
and second you're going to pick one side of the course to eliminate and you're
15
00:00:57.220 --> 00:01:00.740
going to work on your shot shaping to make sure that you don't hit it out of
16
00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:06.580
bounds. If you're playing against the partner what can be fun is you each pick
17
00:01:06.580 --> 00:01:11.500
which side is going to be arbitrary OB. So if you have a tendency of hitting
18
00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:15.140
hooks off the tee the smart player is going to always make it left OB and it
19
00:01:15.140 --> 00:01:20.700
really challenges you to both work on your ball striking and shaping but also
20
00:01:20.700 --> 00:01:21.180
to
21
00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:24.780
work on your mental process of not getting frustrated if you do happen to
22
00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:30.940
hit your common miss and it hits the ball out of bounds. So arbitrary OB, great
23
00:01:30.940 --> 00:01:35.100
game for getting ready for tight courses or courses where you're going to have
24
00:01:35.100 --> 00:01:39.140
more of a what we call target golf where you basically have to eliminate one
25
00:01:39.140 --> 00:01:39.380
side
26
00:01:39.380 --> 00:01:43.140
and really control the shots. So it'll help you with your ball striking and
27
00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:47.180
consistency and a little bit with your patience.
