Amazing Golf Shots

As a young golfer I remember watching this shot on television and wondering how such a little old man could still play golf. Listening to the wonderful commentary by the legendary Henry Longhurst I learned that at aged 71 this was to be his last competitive tournament and he was to get a hole-in-one 50 years after he’d failed to qualify for 1923 Open Championship at Royal Troon whilst the reigning US Open Champion. This inspired a great love for the history of golf it’s champions and famous golf courses and of course I researched Gene Sarazen and I learned of his “shot heard around the world”, his Career Grand Slam, 7 major championships and place as a true legend of the game of golf.

Some amazing golf shots defy description but I’m going to try anyway!
After Fuzzy Zoeller had played his tee shot on #16 Glen Oaks Country Club in the 2006 Allianz Championship he was distinctly underwhelmed. His 7 iron shot had run through the green and settled on the second cut of the apron, he even starting walking and asked his caddie for the sand wedge he would need to play his second shot.
Fully ten seconds later the ball started to move back down the slope towards the hole. As the gallery and commentary team watched incredulously the ball tracked towards and then dropped into the hole for an amazing hole in one, Zoeller didn’t even know what had happened until the crowd erupted!
