‘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:
- Stand close to the ball with their feet together.
- Angle the clubface slightly open and aim it at the back of the ball.
- 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.
