Five Incredible Golf Shots You Need To See. (Part Deux)

Our first post featuring five incredible shots (Part One Here) was so popular that we found five more to show you. Here are five more shots that you can’t miss! 

5) The late eighties were tough on Greg Norman. He earned only one major in 1986 after leading all four tournaments after three rounds. But in 1987, it looked like he might finally break through with his first major win on US soil. That is until a young 29-year-old Larry Mize came along and played his way into a playoff with Greg Norman and Steve Ballesteros. How Larry Mize won his first and only major is nothing short of Masters’ history.

 

 

4) The backward flop shot, although not performed in a tournament setting, is still an incredible shot. When we think about masters of the short game only one name really comes to mind, Phil Mickelson, and he made this type of shot look too easy!


3) This shot turns out exactly how Matt Wheatcroft wants it to, given the incredibly difficult circumstances. LostGolfBall.com team member Andrew says, “I would have been afraid that the ball would come back and hit me in the face!”


2) At the 2001 World Cup, Tiger Woods needed a chip in for eagle to tie and force a playoff. But he was on a downhill slope with little room to work with. In this video he gets exactly the shot he needs. Unfortunately, Tiger lost in the playoff. 

1) Vijay Singh, a man who hits more balls on the range than any other human, makes this shot look like a “skip” in the park. A hole-in-one is rare enough, but doing it by skipping the ball across water, at this Master's practice round, makes this our choice for the most incredible shot.

Do any of these shots make your top five?

We can’t guarantee that our golf balls will give you shots like these, but they offer quality and affordability to give you your most impressive shot.

Sudarshan Yellamaraju Put On Quite A Show

Before I talk about the thrilling finale of the 2026 Players Championship, I wanted to highlight Sudarshan Yellamaraju (Titleist Pro V1). Yellamaraju is a landed Canadian immigrant – I’m a Canadian by birth – and his hometown is Mississauga, which is where I am based, in the west end of Toronto. Up until last week, Yellamaraju was known only to the Canadian golf community, and even then, it was probably a limited audience. That will no longer be the case. His cover, so to speak, has been blown after he finished tied with Ludwig Aberg (Titleist Pro V1x) and Jacob Bridgeman (TaylorMade TP5X) for fifth.

Scottie Scheffler Is Clearly In A Slump

What’s wrong with Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1)? It’s become increasingly obvious that the world’s number one men’s player is clearly frustrated. He’s been showing visible signs of it for several weeks, but the most glaring example occurred after he bogeyed a makeable putt on his final shot of the second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. After picking up his ball he threw it into the water. There was a noticeable murmur among the crowd, almost teetering on booing.

Should Equipment Changes Be Made Public in PGA Tour Events?

Should equipment changes be noted publicly before a player tees it up in a PGA Tour event? While that may sound crazy, it is common practice in horse racing. Some bettors want all the information they can get. With gambling now a big part of sports, I don’t think it’s a crazy idea. Already this year we saw Collin Morikawa (TaylorMade TP5x) winning an event with a putter borrowed from another player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X with Mindset) won two tournaments this year after changing ball. And remember when Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1) went on a tear changing to a blade putter to a mallet putter?
