The Golf Ball Whisperer

On occasion it is the goal of Best In Golf to expose you to the little things in the game that make us chuckle now and again.

Today I would like to introduce you to someone you already know, The Golf Ball Whisperer.

Do you talk to your golf ball? Of course. Wasn’t it Trevino who said, and I paraphrase, “I hit a fade ‘cuz it will listen, a hook won’t listen”?

My friend Andy Groves is one of the greats. He helps me whenever I need an important question answered. How do you put up a ceiling fan? How do you replace the prop on your trolling motor? What in the world is a coterring pin anyway? How do you smoke a Boston Butt just right until it gives up and is ready to eat? You know real man stuff like that.

.

I often tell people he’s the perfect pal because he’s not afraid of anything…and I’m afraid of everything.

.

But what he is also is the undisputed heavyweight champion at guiding the g-ball verbally whether it be in flight or rolling.

He will, on a regular basis, tell the ball to “get up, get down, get left, get right, ZZZZZZT!!! (not really sure about this one), bite, hit somethin‘, jump and have a wreck!!!” Then as the putt slips by he’ll look up at you and say “Dang I thought I made that, didn’t you?”

Impressive I know, but he just might employ all these directions on the same shot!

.

Now that’s hang time bubba.
