In the home state of golfing legend Jack Nicklaus, one enterprising dog owner has trained his English Setter to retrieve his chip shots.<br /><br />The footage, captured in a large back garden of a home in Dublin, Ohio, shows purebred English Setter Roxy fetching the balls as owner and golfer Andrew chips them into the distance. <br /><br />And Andrew says his short game has never been better!<br /><br />He writes: ‘’Roxy is more obsessed with fetch than the average dog. She'll literally fetch anything you throw, even if it isn't meant for her!’’<br /><br />‘’One day, I was chipping balls in the back garden and I noticed her in the house desperate to go chase what I was chipping away at so I found a way to appease her obsession with fetching and my need to practice my swing.<br /><br />‘’I started using soft golf balls to ensure she wouldn't get hurt, and so she learned to stay out of the way and once I felt she was comfortable we moved to regular golf balls. <br /><br />‘’The back wall of the yard is about 80 yards back and we do about 15-20 hits and then she needs a break. <br /><br />‘’It's an incredible exercise for her and my short game has never been better.’’<br /><br />The clip was filmed on May 1, 2017.
