The Golf Minks Virgin Tip

By The Golf Mink

You've seen the Nike ad where Tiger's bouncing a ball on his wedge (if not, see video link below), and I know you all want to do that to impress the hottie you saw at the range last week. Well, true, it does take some skill, but it's not rocket science boys. Here's how:

First, you must hold the club with the clubface pointing towards the sky.
To get the ball on the wedge, I'm gonna let you use your foot to scoop it up. Most wedge bounce wannabe's make the mistake of trying to drop the ball on the wedge. When you get really good, you can scoop it up without using your foot using your wrists, but I usually only tell punters about that on second dates.





Now, the key is, just move the club a tiny bit straight towards the golf gods using your arm, keeping your wrist and elbow firm. When I see most wedge bouncing wannabe's try it, they move the club too much, and not straight up enough. Once you've got it going, just try to stay still and focus as you would if something else were bouncing around...(you naughty boy)

Note how the club isn't moving much, tiger bounces big, but when you're first starting, you only want the ball to go a few inches off the clubface.
Also, when you get really good you can try the under the leg thing, notice how he doesnt move the club much, he's really just moving his leg, which makes it look harder and more impressive than it actually is.

Try it at home, when you're waiting on tee, or when you're waiting for your girlfriend to get ready and pretty soon you'll be a wedge-bouncing wizard :)

And here's something to make you feel better if you can't do it:
