Cool instagram post - The flop shot catch challenge

[nevets88]

I can see it now, Topgolf makes room for "No flop shot catch challenges" in its warning sign. Who said golf isn't a contact sport?

I'm picturing someone drunk trying that from an upper level and falling off the edge when they chase after it.

Darwin had a term for that...

I did a variation on lob catch this morning. Was practicing a lob wedge out of fluff, popped it up, and double hit ball with clubface on followthough.

This should be a TST challenge. Everyone do it!

I was actually thinking of doing it too.  I did my own trick shot thing before, or attempted to, with my boss.  I'd hit a high flop shot and he time an iron blast to try and hit the ball.  We got super close through 6 tries or so, but no dice.

Yes, it should be.

Maybe I'll make an icon and award a prize for it.

What do you think?

I like it. Already thinking about where I'm going to do it.

I should have time to do it this afternoon.  Should be fun.

I'll make a new topic after I create the award.

The hat coming off his head and the golfer on the right making a rolling diving catch was perfect!

It could be an icon of a person with hat tipping off and ball in hand.

I can do this with my driver

If someone gets hurt doing this, I'm gonna feel badly, so please restrict yourself to the ground level of the range.

I've already done it off the mat last week. I had the "range helper" come over and try to show me how to chip "properly" so I borrowed his lob wedge, opened it, and hit a high flop shot that went about 20 feet up in the air and about six feet in front of me and caught the ball.

I haven't seen a new thread pop up yet.  This is my first attempt at this.  I'll have a second go at it another time when the ground isn't as soft.  I kept getting underneath it way too much.  My range would be better.

If only we had a video...

I practice that shot... a lot.

A friend has it down pat, last year he dug a divot so deep, the ball went up a few inches off the tee, under the top of the driver and landed in the front of the divot.
I gave him grief because he never taps the front end of divots down that he creates with every swing and told him the golf gods were paying him back.
