This is some crazy elevation

According to Golf Digest, Odawarajo Country Club in Japan. He's hitting it to that fairway at 1 o'clock, right?

If so, that is a heck of a wide-angle lens.

You call that a knife? This is a knife

Wow! I’m afraid you stole the OP’s thunder......if ever hit that green must take some pretty good ball marks!

Ha ha, always fun to hear a Crocodile Dundee reference.

I could never swing a golf club on that cliff in South Africa.  In fact, I would never try to stand on it (I had a tough time with the Grand Canyon).  The hole shown in Japan does look like the golfer could be driving to a different fairway - if not I am definitely out!

Looks more like he's hitting off a range, and the hole you can see is some hole in the distance. The sound his club makes on the turf makes me feel like the turf is synthetic there, like you'd see on a range, and the pole doesn't dissuade me there either.

I think this is from a little more forward. Don't go left.

This is Yugawara CC, a course south of it.

Okay, so they actually have synthetic turf on the tees? Okay then.

And green fee is probably up there.
