Golf is an incredible game. You take it seriously and have a brief flaw or if you’re just a social enthusiast, you’ll find that it can be frustrating as you try and perfect your game, but sometimes, sometimes, everything is right and you connect. your ball club is so sweet that it inspires you to keep going, to keep playing, to keep trying to improve your game.
I have a bit of a love / hate relationship with the game of golf, I always play but sometimes I almost give it my all because I don’t have anything to try and the game works out as I planned, but sometimes you beat it this luck. This specific golf shot really brings that sentiment home. It took place at the Farmfoods British Par 3 Championships in 2013 – an event held at the Nailcote Hall Hotel.
Brian Barnes (a Ryder Cup player during 1969-1979) was excited to explain the shot taken by player Matt Wheatcroft. The explosion itself is pretty flukey. Wheatcroft’s ball landed almost on a wooden fence – probably a foot of fire from a solid pole. Instead of trying to save it safely, Wheatcroft hit the ball straight into the fence post and it slammed into the back, high in a tall tree and landed on the green not a foot away from the flag.

It’s really a weird shot, the kind of shot you wouldn’t believe unless you saw it. Wheatcroft pretty much had nothing to say about it, interviewed after getting the shot he explained that he always played a lot of “crazy-golf” (little putting golf) and so he thought he would give it to him.
What is fair golf?
This type of shooting raises the question of whether this type of game can be considered a “fair game”. It may sound like a weird shot, but is that the kind of shot at the spirit of the game? Golfing etiquette has always been seen as important to the rules of the game itself – the term etiquette in golf means playing the game with respect for the course you are playing and other players on the course. But the concept of “fair play” is a core principle of golf and the rules of golf generally incorporate this principle such as: “Play the ball while it is lying, play the course you see it, and if you can’t, do it fair. But to do what’s right, you have to know the Rules of Golf. ”Following that principle you have to say that Matt Wheatcroft acted fairly – he played the ball and the course which was exactly what he found, not just in the usual way.
Now For the Shooting of the Year
We actually thought there was goodness in what have been called some of the best golf shots of the year. While this is very strange, it looks like it could be a tornado after two hundred trials. Either way, we think you’ll enjoy it. If you do, share it with your friends.
