Trying to literally thread the needle, that's like a 2 foot window at best? Imho, this is not worth the risk, but maybe I'm being squeamish.

Through the tree gap? Pretty dumb choice for sure. Much easier punch to the left. Lucky he didn’t take his teeth out!

I think the guy is trying to make tough shots for the purpose of posting on the internet, not necessarily to just play golf.

I suspect he was wearing a cup, mouth guard and closed his eyes. Or he is a moron.

A compromise might be do it with a foam ball. I would not think less of him for doing so.

Ditto. 

Regardless of whether he is doing it for the purpose of posting online or not, he is a moron for even attempting such a dangerous shot.  Surprised Darwin's theory of evolution has not caught up to him yet.

I would. If you're going to post trick shots, they better be for real.

I don't think these are mutually exclusive choices.
