10 Best Golf Trick Shots

A trick shot is any golf shot that requires a high level of skill and precision to make a hole-in-one, often seeming impossible to the novice golfer. We’ve compiled some of our favourite trick shots, from entertaining quarantine games to impressive professional hole-in-ones, here’s our list of the best golf trick shots.

 

David Edwards’ tees off Ally McCoist’s face

 

David Edwards is a brand ambassador of Golf Travel Group and, as many of you may know, is a former European PGA tour player, World Record Holder for trick shots and host to ‘David Edwards’ International Trick Golf Show’ – performing in over 50 countries. It’s safe to say Edwards has had his fair share of noteworthy trick shots throughout the years however, if we had to choose one it would be from his day at The Carrick. Donning his signature flamboyant trousers, Edwards mastered a risky shot off Rangers FC’s Ally McCoist’s face at the Scottish Legends Football Charity Golf Day. A great shot for an even greater cause!

 

 

Craig Stadler’s miracle hole-in-one 

 

Best known for his win at the 1982 Masters, Craig Stadler is a long-standing golf legend, yet 2021 marks his greatest trick shot of all time. Participating in a charity event, Stadler was asked to hit the driver on a 169-yard, downhill par 3. Despite the odds being stacked against him, Stadler surprised us all with an astounding hole-in-one – luck or skill? An incredible achievement nonetheless.

 

 

Jared Wolfe tries his luck with a stop sign, skateboard and spoon

 

American professional golfer and two-time Korn Ferry Tour winner, Jared Wolfe, pulled out all the stops for these trick shots – literally. The Korn Ferry Tour pro player tries his luck at a par 3 using a stop sign, a skateboard and a spoon. Although he found little success, we admire the enthusiasm and look forward to what’s coming next!

 

 

Josh Cassaday: Guinness World Record breaker

 

Known for breaking some of the golfing world’s most unique records, Josh Cassaday, renowned golf entertainer, took to Cherry Creek Country Club to attempt four Guinness World Records, all while raising almost $10,000 for the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Denver. His titles now include: the longest shot with a putter, the longest drive kneeling, the longest throw of a golf club and the longest golf shot backwards.

 

 

Josh Spieth masters 100-yard shot

 

Pebble Beach is renowned for its unruly Pacific winds, making it one of the most challenging golf destinations in the world and no easy feat for the amateur golfer. PGA professional, Jordan Spieth, took to the challenge and earned his place on our list of the best trick shots. The famed par-37th showed off his skills and pulled off a clear 4-iron tee shot on 100-yard par 3 at Pebble Beach.

 

 

Jon Rahm flop shots over Phil Mickelson cut-out

 

Jon Rahm, Spanish Professional Golfer, used a 4-iron to make a tricky shot over a cardboard cut-out of 6-time major champion, Phil Mickelson. Taking his shot from a kneeling position, Rahm successfully clears Mickelson’s head, making it look effortless.

 

 

Bubba Watson’s signature pink ping driver

 

During the Waste Management Phoenix Open, Bubba Watson, one of the highest ranked golfers in the world, hit a driver on the par-3 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale. Watson stood before his cardboard spectators with his famous pink ping driver, where he aimed wide right of the target, took a half-swing and let the ball do the rest of the work. If only there were more people there to see it!

 

 

Tania Tare’s balancing ball shot

 

We endured quarantine for a large part of 2021 and some of us took this as an opportunity to brush up on our trick shots. Pro-golfer and trick shot artist, taniatare63 (307k followers), aka Tania Tare, wowed us with her DIY home trick shots. One of our personal favourites is Tanias’ balancing act.

Scratch_trickshots: toilet paper, bicycle and solo cup shots

 

Last but not least on our list is Norwegian trick shot Instagram star: Scratch_trickshots, also known as Kristoffer Larsen Hoen.
