Golf trick shots are an odd pursuit – essentially pointless and fiendishly difficult. Still, there aren’t many things as satisfying as pulling off a Happy Gilmore that isn’t topped twenty shameful yards into some nettles. So you can only guess how the following lads feel on a far too regular basis.
Both are outrageously impressive, but have their own unique styles and props. I won’t introduce any unnecessary bias by telling you who my favourites are – you can decide for yourself. Do let us know the reasons behind your choice.
We’ve covered the tour pros before, here and we know how sickeningly good they are at things like this, so they’re not up for debate in this little head-to-head. Neither are these lads, or this gobshite.
First up are the Bryan Bros from Savannah, Georgia (no, not the tennis players). Their shtick is all mostly deft lobs thwacked away with sweet, sweet timing.
Next we have the Vines of one David Cramblitt – a man of many props and a mind’s eye which seems to have been sharpened by many childhood hours playing Screwball Scramble circa 1993.
His authentic-looking one-hand-off-the-bat baseball stroke just adds to the aesthetic appeal of these wonderful efforts, but you have to fear for the unsuspecting neighbours he’s raining golf balls down upon.
