Found this video, thought it was funny. Reminds me of all those strange contests you have with your friends on the driving range or perhaps PGA National...

 
Of course, there's no way to know how many shots they took at this thing, but I think this is yet another example of how talented pros are. They don't only hit the traditional shots, but when you ask them to do something ludicrous with the ball, they know how to make the club do that too!

I like this video. Always good to see the pros having fun with the game.
 
I got a real kick out that video. Thanks.

As a former ball picker boy, we love that stuff. My favorite move was the stop short. You can see the guy on the driving range eyeing you and lining up the shot. His buddy next to him going "steady.... steady..... GO!!" Right when he begins his backswing I slam on the breaks and watch the ball go by right in front of me.

Great Clip DDEC
Reminds me of all those youtube clip where people are taking crazy basketball shots. This was way better.

thats not a bad idea bridges....
 
Great stuff, that was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing!
 
Thanks for posting that clip. So many of those shots that did not hit were so close that they were really as remarkable as the one that did get it. That by itself is sort of amazing, at least to me. I wonder where on the club face they had to hit it to get the ball to do that? Am I seeing that right, did they look like they had topspin? I can sometimes hit a terrible shot that has topspin. Being able to do that on purpose and at will is just incredible.
 
I love skipping the ball on water, so fun, especially when its on accident and just barely makes it over to the green. :banana:
