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.

Chris Gotterup Making A Name For Himself

Who is Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X), and why is he tearing it up early in the 2026 PGA Tour season? If you had asked golf fans heading into this year’s season, some may have known him and success he has had, but I don’t think there would be many who would say he was slated for a breakthrough season. But now the word is out: Not only is he a long-ball hitter off the tee and someone who can keep it in the fairway, but he also has a complete game and championship mettle. With two victories in only three tournaments in 2026, most recently last weekend beating two-time winner Hideki Matsuyama (Srixon z-Star XV) in a playoff in the WM Phoenix Open, Gotterup is on a heater. Matsuyama, the tournament leader heading into the final round, was spraying his ball all over the course and was scrambling most of the day. Gotterup was quietly doing his own thing. In fact, while Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1) was making a serious run for the lead that just fell one shot short after a seven-under par, Gotterup was putting together a similar round. He had the tournament lead after round one with an eight-under par – Scheffler was just hoping to make the cut after opening two-under par – but shot one-under par in his next two rounds. Gotterup really turned it on in the final round. He was two-under after the front nine, but five-under on the back nine, including birdying five of the last six holes.
