Call The Shot

You can either play this against yourself or against an opponent. If you play against yourself, you have to recreate the shot in order to avoid getting a letter. This is a great game for working on ball striking, shot shaping, and target awareness.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
This game is called a shot.

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000
So this is very, very similar to horse in that basically you're going to have to call

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
a shot before you actually hit it.

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Now this can either be played against yourself and you have to recreate it twice in order

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000
to not lose a point or you can do it against a partner and they have to recreate it in order

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
to get a letter or in order to not get a letter, I should say.

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
So let's say on this particular shot I'm going to start this at that red flag that you can't

00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
see in the distance and I'm going to try and hook it to the blue flag which is about

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,000
40 yards over there.

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
So I'm going to set up kind of for my hook.

00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
I'm going to try to use a few moves because 40 yards is a lot for just my stock full swing

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:46,000
to create a hook but I'm going to get up there and I'm going to get that thing to turn.

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000
So it's depends how nice my playing partner is because I was just short of getting it all

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
the way to the blue flag.

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
But call the shot is a great way to work on shot shaping and ball striking and target awareness

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
and it gives you a little bit of competition the same way that course works on your kind

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
of creativity in the basketball court.

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,000
So you can use this call the shot as a great way to take your mechanical fields into

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
more of a playing field that you can then use on the course.
