Nice...I once sliced one so bad at #1 at Seaside that it hit the road... bounced twice and off the backboard and in for a 3 pointer! right in front to of 2 guys shooting hoops across the fairway, in their driveway. I'll never forget that hole in one LOL.

LOL, I thought that old geezer that got up when it landed was going to go pick it up and drop it in the hole.

One time I was at minigolf and I hit the ball pretty hard, it flew a little bounced off a rock, went up like 8ft and then landed RIGHT in the hole and stayed :Q

Wow... I don't think that hole in one can be topped. Wow.

maybe if the ball hit the flag pole in midair, then dropped directly into the hole. :)

I agree...mujst be a pause in the video edit....itn is a physical impossibility for that ball to begin moving like that fater being at a dead stop in the fringe.

Allianz Championship - Saturday, Jun 3, 2006 7:04 pm EDT:
  • "Fuzzy Zoeller stole the show with a hole-in-one on the 170-yard 16th hole, an ace he never saw. Zoeller's drive landed in the rough on the fringe of the green and to the left of the pin. Thinking he had a chip shot in front of him, Zoeller stepped off to the side and asked his caddie for his sandwich.

    But after laying still for almost 10 seconds, the ball slowly trickled down the green and into the cup. Zoeller, who finished with a 68 to reach 7 under, gave the crowd a wry grin and a sarcastic thumbs-up after one of the most improbable of his 16 career aces.

    "It was a lucky shot," Zoeller said. "It's a crazy game. I'm just glad I don't have to do it for a living."

I just really can't imagine the physics behind it.

It's in the fringe, so that's tall grass part...if there was so much spin as to make it move that much 10 seconds later...how would it not deform the grass and move within a second or two

arg!

How could the ball continue to spin for 10 seconds laying *still* and still come out of the fringe with that much force.

Spin? No.

Release of potential energy coupled with any number of environmental stimuli (wind, geomagnetic fluctuations, etc)? Certainly.

Not likely to happen often, but certainly plausible.
