Backspin

I played golf yesterday a the brutally difficult Ranch Club in San Jose. The round was a disaster, but I hit at least one very satisfying shot. On a short, downhill (like 60 ft) par 3 I hit a sand wedge that landed 2 feet from the hole and spun back about 15 feet.

In my 11+ years of golf this was the clearest view I’ve ever had of really pronounced backspin on my own shot. It was cool to watch.

I made the birdie putt too.
