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.

Simple.

There was only a few blades of grass to the hard green, the weight of the ball laid those blades over and away it went.

I've had many delays like that.

Slowly fell onto the green, then gravity did the rest of the work. Awesome luck!

actually if you look at the video, he is on the outer fringe, quite a ways from the green proper. And as a golfer, I can tell you that the wind has to blow EXTREMELY hard to move a stationary ball even on the short nap of a green, let alone in the deep fringe

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."

LOL at using the wrong word. He was sooooo far in the rough that he decided to have lunch!

It is said that he paid several million peanuts to the gopher mafia who perpetuated this feat.
