OppThink Golf: PHIL MICKELSON BACKWARDS CHIP SHOT

When your golf ball lies on a downward slope (say, next to a bunker by the green), and you are trying to get onto the green, a regular shot will be nearly impossible to pull off. What's the solution? Why, do the opposite, of course - hit the ball standing on the opposite side, and get under it so far that you "flip" it back over your body and onto the green. Of course, it helps if you're 2010 Masters champion (and 3-time Masters winner) Phil Mickelson...



...and below is a younger Phil (1992) explaining and doing the same backwards chip shot.
