Every Christmas I go to Mexico.
I teach at Club de Golf Malinalco, a great golf course in central Mexico, for 3 weeks. I can testify that many of the streets have an insane number of potholes, and most are very large! The locals skillfully navigate around these, and the situation is considered normal.
The first “Urban Golf Tournament” was created by a group of avid cyclists in the town of San Luis Potosi, to raise awareness of the poor condition of the town’s roads. The success of the tournament has led to an expansion in other towns and cities in Mexico.
Watch this video to see the fun in negotiating a route around the potholes, having started from 3 different stations, and ending by getting the ball into the crazy holes.
The best thing about this?
These former non-golfers have become golfers, and say “Go Play! You can golf in the streets or parks or wherever you like!”

I guess you don’t want to annoy Keegan Bradley when he is practicing his putting. If you do he is going to retaliate and this drone soon found out! A perfectly timed 6 iron on the perfect trajectory took the annoying culprit out of the sky forever! Back to your putting Keegan!
The constant buzz of the drone filming overhead has distracted Pro Golfer Keegan Bradley — and affected his putting. Fed up, he turns the tables on the DJI Phantom Drone. The GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition attached to its underside captures the results.
Bigger Ball – Better Golf – 2 Big Reasons You Will Watch This!

I started playing golf in 1964 at a time when most of the Commonwealth Countries played the “British Ball” which was 1.62 inches in diameter.
I did not know that Americans played a bigger ball than other countries, in professional golf. The “American Ball” was 1.68 inches. In 1966 I was introduced to the “big ball” and some people said that although it did not go as far, it putted a lot better. It did no such thing for me, unfortunately.
Thanks to this cool old video from British Pathe, we get to see the late Bob Rosburg as the lone American pro, playing with other winners of the time, Peter Thompson, Dai Rees and Christy O’Connor. This 1960 match in Wentworth, England, was planned so that the Europeans could try out the American ball. The winner’s check was 1250 British Pounds. A caddie would get more these days!
This old golf video is worth watching for 2 reasons:
seeing how incredibly young Peter Thompson and Christy O’Connor look
hearing hilarious words of commentator describe Bob Rosburg’ golf.

All of us have experienced good and bad luck on the course. We tend to remember the bad luck shots more for some reason. Here are 12 of the unluckiest shots on the European Tour in 2015. What I don’t understand is how some of these golfers (like Henrik Stenson) get really mad. They were aiming at the flag weren’t they? They should be pleased that they hit it. No?

If you have never played night golf, you have to try it! It is great fun and I have played several times. If you do it in the name of a Charity, like Jonathan Byrd and Max Homa did at the TPC Southwind, and $5000 goes to the St Jude Children’s Hospital, then it is even better!
Thanks to Skratch TV for sharing. Maybe you could get your course to host a night golf event in the name of a charity of your choice. Everybody has fun and charity benefits. A real win-win night!

I have seen several foxes on golf courses over the years.
Most recently I was playing with my students Bill & Natalie Sims at their home club in Oshawa, Canada. A family of foxes appeared on one hole and seemed to want to play with us. The fox in this video just seems to want a play pal all of his own. (even if it was only a headcover!) I will give him this, he was persistent! He really believed in the motto “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again!”

More and more people and groups are getting into the trick shot business. And for all of us fans, this is just great. It reminds me of the early days of skateboarding where people were executing increasingly difficult tricks to show how great they were. The same thing is happening in trick shot golf. Cannot wait for the next episode! Thanks to The Couroons for sharing!
This is the very first Golf Trickshot Edition in the history of The Courooons. Golf became more and more important in our lifes, so we decided to produce Golf Trick Shot Videos as well. We hope you guys like it? Like and Comment to give us advice!

Lois’s logic is so perfect. A non-golfer would think, hit it in the pond, everyone else is! This is a hilarious cartoon that puts the frustrations of golf into perfect perspective! The next time you are out golfing with your spouse or a friend, be a little more patient than poor Peter here. Thanks to Kyle Doubrava for sharing this with all of us!
Peter took Lois golfing for the first time and she has some irritating questions.

Wow, this is a really cool idea that AT&T is doing for an advertising campaign starting November 4th, 2015. If you are in the Dallas, TX area, go and check this out. Thanks so much to Chris Chaney, Wrong Fairway of back9network.com and AT&T for sharing this!

It’s tough to say who had a better 2015 season, Jordan Spieth or his sponsors. Either way, things are heading in the right direction for the the 22-year-old Texan’s #brand.
One of Spieth’s most prominent sponsors, AT&T, has used its relationship with the top-ranked golfer in the world to do a bit of guerilla marketing at Main Street Gardens in downtown Dallas. The end product, a mosaic of Speith holding his follow through, is available for public viewing through Thursday, Oct. 29.
If you’re not sure how 24,152 golf balls can make a picture, here’s a time-lapse video to show you.
Each of the 24,000-plus AT&T-logo balls were placed on tees, utilizing the grass beneath them to create negative space and a shading element. The mosaic, which was put together by a team of 25 people, will be the basis for an ad campaign that will roll out on Nov. 4.
When the piece is broken down later this week, AT&T will be donate the balls to the Dallas chapter of The First Tee and the Northern Texas PGA. A nice gesture, to be sure, but where have we seen another Spieth sponsor possibly use upwards of a couple thousand golf balls…

Golf is such a frustrating sport, that it is not a surprise when players occasionally lose their tempers. However, when we see golf professionals, the top players in the game, lose their composure, it can be funny at times. Funny to us, but not to them. I think Sergio is the first golfer I have ever seen who threw his shoe instead of his club!
