Bubba's Famous Snap-Hooey.
Now this is an approximation. You get the idea. The ball didn’t go straight for 80 yards, make a 70 degree turn and then go straight again, but just look at where the ball started and finished. That’s all you need to know really. I wonder how many people will wander into the woods in the coming months and try to duplicate this shot. Does Augusta even allow such crass behavior? The problem is, it’s a one in a million shot for a lefty, for a righty–just forget about it. You’d have to tee up a driver and hit a baby heel shank on purpose to even get in the ball park. It’d be fun to try, though, that’s for damn sure.
And let’s not forget he did this with a gap wedge.
Also, if this diagram is correct as to where he hit the shot from, he was way the eff down there with his drive.
I think the hole’s about 490 yards. It’s downhill. I think the ball took a pretty clean flight into the right trees, unlike Ooosty’s shot. I want to say he had like 155. So, probably a pretty typical Bubba Drive just yanked left.
I almost forgot I have to keep burying my Aces theory. Give me 180 on Verlander tonight at (-180).
Is that a cart in the fairway? And it looks like there’s tons of cart tracks all over? I guess it’s a little different for the other 51 weeks a year, but I think in my mind I picture it as pristine all year long.
I’m not sure. I was also under the impression that everyone walked there, but given the membership I guess it’s not too surprising they ride. The only other explanation is that it’s not a golf cart, but a maintenance cart and this is taken during the off-season. Looks like the flag is in, though.
