OP
Never skipped stones on a lake? (It would indeed be witchcraft if he made it in the hole.)

We all did. I'm guessing that a dimpled ball with the right topspin...

would work the same way.
Obviously something worked.

It's been done before, btw. A few years ago I saw a video of two golfers doing it.
That said - awesome shot.

I can't do it but then I'm awful at golf. Truly awful. Not good at stone skipping either.
Again, awesome shot. Each time I see it done I am in awe.

and I've played a enough to know it wasn't my game...

(13,871 posts)9. This is a tradition at the Masters
Takes place at the Par 3 tournament every Wednesday before the real event starts the next day.
Usually, at least 80% of the golfers skip the ball successfully onto the green. All its needs is a low shot with some topspin, which is pretty easy for these guys.
