  • THE £1 MILLION GOLF SHOT

    20 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham in Golf, Money, Very Cool, Video

    The shot is taken 400m above the hole and the ball takes a 30 second flight to reach the green. It’s right here in South Africa and a hole in one will get you a cool R13 million.

    And yes, you do need a chopper to get to the tee.

    Piece of old tacky

     

    this, from The Daily Mail:

     

    The hardest golf shot in the world… where the prize for a hole-in-one is a cool £1million

    It’s the golfing equivalent of climbing Everest.

    This is the hole that has taken over the mantle of the world’s toughest.

    From the top of a mountain in South Africa, players must hit a shot 400m over a near forest onto a green 400m below.

    If you manage to overcome vertigo tracking your ball through the air, looking to see where it landed requires a mountaineer’s bravery.

    And the gauntlet has been thrown down to the world’s best golfers: anyone who gets a hole-in-one will win an astonishing $1million (£671,000).

    The Extreme 19th hole is part of the Legend Golf and Safari Resort at Entabeni in the Limpopo province in South Africa.

    It’s so high that it takes the ball 30 seconds to reach the green.

    And you can forget golf carts – players willing to take their chances on the million-dollar prize have to take a helicopter to get there.

    That’s pretty serious.

    Padraig Harrington and Raphael Jacquelin gave it a bash..

     

     

    I think I know a little boy who needs to work on his short game..
