Five Incredible Golf Shots You Need To See (Part One)

Have you ever seen a golf shot and thought, That was incredible? Did you want to share it with everyone you know? Well, that happens all the time at the LostGolfBalls.com office, and here are five of the most incredible shots that we think you need to see.

 

5) At the 2010 Senior PGA Championship, Johnny Miller was faced with a seemingly impossible putt—102 feet! That’s when expert, Jack Nicklaus steps in to show him how it’s done. Talk about an incredible putt!

 

4) Annika Sorenstam went out with a bang at the US Open in 2008. In her last tournament, she shocks the crowd and herself by holing an eagle with the final shot of her career in a LPGA event. 

 

3) What a par from Bill Haas! At the 2011 Tour Championship, bill got his feet wet while making an incredible shot out of the water landing the ball only two feet from the hole. This A+ scramble shot led him to victory in not only the Tour Championship but the FedEx Cup as well. 

 

 

2) What is so different and amazing about this shot by Bubba Watson? Not only is it his winning shot in the 2011 Masters playoffs, but physics shows that the shot is next to impossible.(Sport Science proves that here) 

 

 

1) Our last pick is Tiger Woods’ "Nike swoosh" chip-in on hole sixteen at the 2005 Masters.  It was magnificent to hear the Tiger roar across the gallery as his Nike golf ball slowly falls into the cup. The look on Tiger’s face is so focused with determination that even before he swings the club, the gallery knew it was going in. It truly was a historic addition to Tiger's legacy. 

BONUS!
Here’s a bonus shot from the 2014 Tour Championship. Rory McIlroy hits his ball into one lucky fan’s pocket!

 

 

So what do you think is the most impressive shot?

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?

Genesis Invitational Gives Us The Reality Of Sports

I’ve written this before and I’m repeating it because it never ceases to amaze me how televised sports is the ultimate reality show, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, as the now-defunct ABC Wild Word of Sports used as its intro. On the final hole of the Pebble Beach Open, Jacob Bridgeman (TaylorMade TP5x) was hitting a shot off of pebbles on the beach on the 18th hole. His ball ended up in the ocean and resulted in a bogey, tying him for eighth place when he was close enough starting the hole for a much better finish. I thought his spirits were crushed and dismissed him for the Genesis Invitational. So what does he do? Goes on a tear and headed into the final day, chasing a tournament record score. But he nearly frittered away the win, coming undone on the back half of the back nine and eking out a single stroke victory, and only because he parred a four-foot putt that must have seemed much longer because of the pressure. That’s drama, real drama, not manufactured reality. He won the event for the first time in his 66th tournament on the PGA Tour and only 65 days after marrying.

It's Time To Talk About Tiger Woods Again

Some thoughts on the world of golf with the Masters less than eight weeks away: When Tiger Woods (Bridgestone Tour B XS) speaks, we all listen. As the host of the Genesis Invitational this week, Woods held his annual address about his health, career, playing in the Masters and the PGA Tour at large. Woods is gradually returning to swinging his clubs from his latest back surgery last fall, which naturally had reporters asking him about his playing status. He did not specify when he will return to playing again, yet he tersely and emphatically did not rule out playing in the Masters. “No,” he said. Woods has always tried to play in the Masters, no matter his physical condition.
