Here's why you should never be too discouraged when your ball rolls into the drink:

VIDEO AT LINK......................

Unbelievable! "Play it as it lies," so this is a perfectly legal shot. I'm gonna go ahead and put that at the top of my "best shots of the year" list until I see a better one.

I have no concept of how something like that is done or even possible.

Biden: That reminds me of when I got a hole-in-four at the first tee of the local Putt-Putt. No kidding.

Great shot, but was that actually his ball? There was another ball in the immediate area, but it was in deeper water. So, not to take anything away from this amazing shot, was he actually playing HIS ball?

Lucky he had that stone there, but yes an awesome shot. 🙂

Well, you take a golf club and you swing it at the ball, in this case the ball lofts up and eventually rolls into the cup. One in a million probability. Not impossible. Just pure luck.

I’ve always told myself that it must have something to do with thousands of swings over years, and lots of muscle memory; but yeah, it still comes out seeming like pure luck.

I remember when Joe Biden and Neil Armstrong landed on the 19th hole of the local Putt-Putt!

I’ve seen a guy catch a fish by hooking through the eye of a hook that was already in the fish’s mouth. Crazy stuff happens.

“never be too discouraged when your balls roll into the drink”

Like when you sit on a too-small toilet?

Several years ago Henrik Stenson stripped down to his skivvies to play a similar shot; then Fanny, his female caddy, dried him off--on TV.

George: The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to return soup at a deli!

George: I got about fifty-feet out and then suddenly the great beast

appeared before me. I tell ya he was ten stories high if he was a

foot. As if sensing my presence he gave out a big bellow. I said,

“Easy big fella!” And then as I watched him struggling I realized

something was obstructing his breathing. From where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great fish!

Jerry: Mammal.

George: Whatever.

Kramer: Well, what did you do next?

George: Then from out of nowhere a huge title wave lifted, tossed like a cork and I found myself on top of him face to face with the blow-hole. I could barely see from all of the waves crashing down on top of me but I knew something was there so I reached my hand and pulled out the obstruction!
