The assistant instructor I had last spring told us of a time
Chi Chi did an exibition at a junior golf camp he went to.
Chi Chi hit the fade, then the draw, they didn't collide but
this guy said he couldn't imagine anyone coming closer than
Chi Chi did!!!!!!

Gene,
How about this.....Chi Chi hits the first ball left with a fade
action and then hits the second ball to the right with a draw.
Both should then at least cross-over somewhere toward the middle.
Whether they will hit is tougher to achieve.
On the second trick, how about one club is a pitch and the other
is a chip, both going toward some imaginary target like a cup. ;^)
or maybe its just the old draw and fade routine but the balls land
on the ground and hit.

| Sounds more like a matter of trajectory than fade/draw. If you hit the
first 1 dead straight but real high, wait about 5 seconds, then hit the
second 1 dead straight but on a rope, you'll come close!

| In tape I mentioned in the tape note, GOLFOOLERY, Mike Smith hits two
balls at the same time with an oversize custom head wood and one ball
draws and the other fades, both towards the center. He doesn't try
to make them hit each other though.

Mike,
If you read Gene's original note, it specifies the draw and fade hits.
Besides, what you say above is essentially what I said in my second
scenario by having a chip and pitch hit each other on the ground. ;-)

| 797.6 | I've seen him try it | BANZAI::PAL | Paul Lemaire | Wed Oct 25 1989 17:00 | 11 |
| This trick is a standard piece of the 'clinic' Chi-Chi puts on.
Catch it next year at Nashawtuc. He tries it 3-4 times.
The balls didn't hit the time I saw the clinic. Perhaps he pulled
it off once (and that's what his manager is bragging about).
Let's see, would it be the same probability as a hole in one?
(consider the first ball hit as the 'hole', second ball has to
'go in').
