"Urban" Golf

[iacas]

Not really "urban golf" in the sense that I typically understand that phrase to mean (it's more like trick shots in a sometimes urban setting), but... "interesting" anyway.

amazing coordination

The entire video was impressive, but when they were bouncing the ball on the clubface (is there a name for that?) and they passed it down and back up from a 10 foot loft, I had to backup and re-watch that.

That was cool.

Here's *Urban* golf. Columbia golf team member plays trick shots on campus to/through sculptures, fountains, stairs, over students.

I'll admit that was impressive, but I think that the coolest shot was the field goal with the rugby ball using a drive only because I've never seen that before. I mean I've seen people bounce a ball on a wedge, doesn't mean it's any harder doing it in an urban setting.

Wow! That is some really amazing stuff. A good deal of that can be credited to practice, but even more of it is pure skill. Some of those chip shots were very impressive. Really cool video!

half the video looks shopped

[Stretch]

You can tell from the pixels and from having seen quite a few trick shots in your time?

[Zeph]

Not shopped, just a lot of attempts.

This one won't have been shopped, that's Paul Barrington... he's a teacher at a course near me (about 45 mins drive) and is a former World Golf Trick Shot Champion and long driver (uk).

One of his signature moves around the course is to drive the ball a 345 yard carry over water onto the green (it's a near impossible shot!!).

Does everyone in England look like Lee Westwood's cousin?

I had to do a double take when it started playing.

No, only the golfers...
