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.

Bridgestone Makes A Key Manufacturing Move

Bye bye Bridgestone. Shocking news that Bridgestone is closing its golf ball plant and test facility in Georgia after 36 years and shifting its manufacturing to Japan on June 30. The bulk of Bridgestone balls are manufactured in Japan anyway. As one of the top five golf ball manufacturing companies, Bridgestone got a huge lift when Tiger Woods became its top player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X) is its top PGA Tour ambassador now. It will be interesting to see if Bridgestone makes a huge marketing push to tag along to the current popularity of Japanese men's and women's golf.

Korda Registers Impressive Win in the Chevron Championship

Woah, Nelly. That was quite an impressive performance by Nelly Korda (TaylorMade TP5x) in the Chevron Championship, scoring a five-shot victory, winning wire to wire and setting a LPGA majors record with a score of 14-under par after 36 holes. With the win, she vaulted into first place in the world rankings ahead of Jeeno Thitikul (Callaway Chrome Tour X), who surprisingly didn’t make the cut and continued the distinction of the greatest active player not to win a major. More on that later.

Jeeno, Nelly And Hannah Head Field For LPGA's First Major Of The Season

It’s the first LPGA Tour major of the season. Who do you think will win? It will be interesting to see who takes the ceremonial jump into the water at the 2026 Chevron Championship, which takes place this year at the Memorial Park Golf Course, site of the recent Texas Children’s Houston Open, following three years at Carlton Woods.
