...you got to see this shot! This was at the British Open this weekend. The ball is up against the wall so there can't be a back swing. So he hits the ball into the wall. They are calling it the shot of the year!

It's been done several times before - with better results. "Shot of the year" - hardly.

That was a great shot. I've seen a lot of golf and a shot like that is rare, I don't know what dcbogey is talking about.

Yeah, I agree. The one announcer who said it will be "played for decades" name was TOM and he WON a British Open. I don't know who the annoucers were, but I'm guessing it might have been TOM WATSON who is considered a GOD over there.

I've seen it before. As you said, it is rare, implying it has happened before. It sounds like you agree with what he said.

If you were watching the coverage, ESPN should a few examples of that type of shot. Rare, yes, mainly because there is no hole like it anywhere else.

Here's one from a "normal guy" playing a round with his friends,

Not to be nit-picky, but Tom Watson didn't just win one, he won 5 British Opens.

Yes, I debated that for a very long time and decided to go with "won AN open" because that what the other announcer said. I just went out on a limb with Watson. You are correct, I should have footnoted my statement!! Thank you for not ridiculing me.

I only watch golf when I want to take a nap.:D

Sorry but hardly comparable. One is in The Open Championship and one is of some guys hacking around. I'm with jeff on this one. An amazing shot, very gutsy considering the stakes.

Not a problem jeff, no ridiculing was required. I was just clarifying his remarkable British Open history. I do watch golf, but I will confess, it can be a little boring.

We will probably be seeing a lot more videos like that. Everyone playing at that course with an iPhone will take a crack at the shot and record it.

He also did it with a few hundred people staring at him from the other side of the wall! No pressure, though.

An amazing shot, true. But it has been done during previous Opens. Don't remember who or when, but I've seen it on TV as part of the highlights.
