Amazing Golf Shots

Missing the 11th green at Augusta in The Masters results in a very very difficult up and down. A slick chip over a grassy bank with a lake beckoning behind must make for a knee-knocking experience. When Greg Norman saw his opponent Larry Mize faced with exactly that shot on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff in 1987 he must have been confident of victory. Imagine then his thoughts as he watched Mize’s 140 foot chip skip twice before the green and then track straight into the hole. Norman couldn’t believe it and nor, I’m sure, could Mize. But, what an amazing golf shot with which to win a Major.

Great golf shots do not necessarily have to be spectacular. British links courses have some of the most fearsome bunkers in world golf and simply to get the ball out is often a good shot. Factor in the wind whipping across the course, an awkward stance and Greg Norman faced a particularly tough golf shot. Watch Norman play an incredible bunker shot recovery from below green level at #16 at Royal Birkdale in the 2008 Open Championship.
