‘Ice-cream scoop’ technique cracks fried-egg lies

Golf experts have unveiled a simple technique to overcome tricky “fried-egg” lies, where the ball sits in a small depression in the rough.

To execute the “ice-cream scoop” technique, golfers should:

  1. Stand close to the ball with their feet together.
  2. Angle the clubface slightly open and aim it at the back of the ball.
  3. Take a shallow swing, scooping the ball out of the depression and onto the green.

This technique promotes a lower launch angle and more spin, helping to control distance and minimize the risk of a mis-hit.

By mastering the “ice-cream scoop” technique, golfers can conquer fried-egg lies and improve their on-course performance.

“It was a little bit stiff this morning,” Spieth said about his wrist. “I could tell when I was trying to hit balls and do all that stuff, it was just not real comfortable. I felt like with the adrenaline going, I could kind of manage it.”

Spieth said he plans to continue playing through the pain, but he will be limited in his practice time. He also said he is considering withdrawing from the tournament if the pain becomes too severe.
