With a little practice, you ll become proficient at intimidating your playing partners, adding to the pressure and fun. When a player hitsthe ball onto the green, but is a long way from the hole, making the first putt critical. When a player has a difficult putt. Usually downhill or sidehill with a lot of break. When a playerhits the first putt four feet or more past the hole.
Hissing is fun, but only at the appropriate times.
No hissing when a player is standing over a putt. Unless you are left with a gimme, you must putt out in turn. Finally, the passing of the Snake is an important part of the game and requires a certain panache for maximum effect. When the last player in the group three putts, the player holding the Snake tosses it into the air so that it lands near or at the feet of the unlucky receiver. Once the hissing starts, the real fun begins.
