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

That said - awesome shot.

11. Bet you could do it though. Since you understand the mechanism of doing it.

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.

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.
