The best part about this video is his playing partner teeing off and the network was like, "Nah man...stay on that ball!"
@don cherry gross
Good point.
That was likely him shooting a provisional
Hello dear friend
@@prairiepirates1034 this is the pros. They dont do the amateur provisional shots you and I do.
Huge thanks to the camera man and the tv crew that kept an eye on that spectacular drive. I could easily see a different tv crew give up on it. Thank you
Mike C hardly spectacular! Shanked on the carpark! Should be out of bounds!
sometimes accidents happen, but sometimes they don't, but if they did, that would of been so frustrating.
Good point. You could hear the other player tee off yet they stayed with this. Was it boring? Maybe, but you have to admit you've NEVER seen anything like that happen. Or rarely happen.
Sparity thats what my mom said about me😞😞😢😢
some one spectacular doesn’t mean skillful. Spectacular in the sense that you probably won’t see that again...
He read the cart path perfectly.
For those wondering, after he dropped it, he pitched out to the fairway, then hit it on the green and 2 putted for par. He was blocked out ans couldn't get to the green in 2.
Lol
Thanks I was wondering this
If I can get the first hit to the green I'll still get a double bogey
Thanks sakimano san
Thanks :)
That awkward moment when you and thousands of people are simultaneously watching a golf ball roll down a path.
They don't even show the other players shot... they stay on the ball.
K den
lmao
What's so awkward about it?
Wouldn't that be out of bounds
I once did a 500 yard drive. Then I turned around and drove home.
lol!
+numcrun I actually did one golfing. But then I woke up 😐
nice one😂
How did you do that on Tiger Woods 12? I played the entire game and won everything there is to win and never had a drive of 500+ yards. ;)
Most I ever got on Tiger Woods 12 was about 435 yards...
My buddy had an opposite experience. He hit a three wood uphill about 200 yards, ended up finding the cart path that ran along the fairway, ball rolled back down hill about 100 yards behind his original shot 😂
A negative 100 yard drive. That's actually quite impressive.
My friend hit the yellow tee marker and it whizzed passed our ears and 150 yrs behind the tee.
He asked for a mulligan....no.
@@fredserver3706 Once, I hit a golf ball that went straight to a nearby tree, bounced back on the bench, hit a brick and bounced to a bush... all in a back and forth exchange. ^^
Lol
@@fredserver3706
He should have been hitting a ball. 😗
That’s like a crazy golf secret tunnel that leads directly to the hole
carries 270 yards. rolls 230 yards... haha
The ball was so ashamed by Louis' swing that it tried to leave the course
Omg
Bet your gc quad cant track that
False advertising mayb 250 rest bullshit roll
@@richardreger6026 what
Love the European Tour commentators. They don't try to make any moments bigger than they need to be and always seem to have fun with each other.
Amen! Same with tennis. After watching/listening to a British feed, switching over to the motor-mouth American commentators (I am American) is tantamount to Chinese water torture.
They are easy going people
Except italians, especially on soccer. Those commentors will blabber and blabber to the point you'll either almost mute the tv, or search for the same game in any other language. Because they talk 20 times less than italians.
Brits are BEST 🎙️
Probably because it's the European tour and they know no one is watching so there's no need get excited for the 7 viewers
I once stood on the Tee of a 550 yard, down hill, in a canyon, the wind behind me, and very dry ground, hole in a canyon in Utah. I never played the course before, and couldn't see more than 250 yards down the fairway due to it sloping down out of sight. I was told there was a 30 yard gap to cross that was over 300 yards out. I asked, "where is the bridge?" They said, "Just left of the fairway... We spent 10 mins looking for it near the gap (and a little in the gap) then I dropped a provisional in front of the gap and hit it to the green (it should always be called a provisional just incase you find it further than you thought). We headed off towards the still un-seeable green and... well, It turns out I did hit the bridge! It bounced further down the fairway than we had looked... down in to the middle of the fairway sitting on the 100 yard "plastic ball" marker dead center of the fairway...
450 yards! Thank God I had 3 witnesses!!!! But, it was in the 90's, so no camera phone.... Yeah, I'll never forget that...
youre a liar
Big hitter the Lama.
My friend did something similar - we were on a par 5 that curved downhill and to the right, with a small road alongside the left side. He hit the ball left, but it had a sufficient slice on it to land on the road and bouncing down the road.
The ball proceeded to bounce along the shoulder, maintaining a perfect trajectory next to the entire fairway, and then rolled right onto the green. It was incredible.
The icing on the cake was the finish... he three-putt for a birdie.
If that was me I would probably end up 5 putting it.
Imagine. Putt for Albatross.
Of course three put s m h
What a story mark
Proof?
Televised road makes a pleasing change from televised sky.
This has got to be the most viewed golf shot ever! 😂 Ive watched it more than several times!
7.61 years of human time to watch this go down a hill
+Sam Hilbish I did the math too and can confirm this result.
can you show your workings ?
12.16 years now.
13.89 years :D
15.29 years...
I’ve watched this once a year for the last 5 years 😳 As soon as I see the cart path I think to myself - Oh no not again 🤦♂️
Out of boumds
Legend says the ball is still rolling to this day...
InfraRedNeck it's in my back porch
Legend is full of shit then because you can see it clearly stops lol
Kyler Durden 2:06 it clearly stops
macpurcell21 Issa joke chill
nice meme but we all saw it stop in the video?
Would have liked to see where the green was in relationship to the ball.
we are blessed to be part of this beautiful game.
Enjoy.
Thanks for sharing now every time I play this hole I aim right at the same cart-path
0:08
The gallery says "good shot"
because they already know that
he drive 500 yards thru the cart path
The commentator pretty much jizzed in his pants when his ball finally stopped. "OH!!" lol
YES HAHAHA
Giggity
What are you, eight years old?
@steven s.>That is funny!
Love it. This video doesn't get old...not one bit.
That was the most amazing drive I have ever seen, they put cartpaths there for a reason, and this is a prime example how if anyone wants to get some extra yards, just use the cart path and it will do the rest of the work for you!
When you turn a pro golf tournament into putt putt miniature golf and hit it through the windmill to come round the little drain that puts it right next to the hole..
I almost died when it went past the people 😂😂
Great camera work. I'm really glad they kept on the ball while we could her the other drive in the background.
absolutely amazing
0:50 I almost got an heartattack
"That's the last time I enter the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a golf ball."
Absolutely love golf
love it how the tv cameras were on the ball and not the next shot
I hit 500 yard drives all day and i dont need a fucking cart path to cheat that shit either just got mad skillz.
Mad skizzels to pay deh bizzels
GOML bruh im busting a mile with my mad putter, ya herd me cuddin?
It's like David Simm's seven iron in 'Tin Cup', "it's still go'n."
For those wondering he putted in with his driver from the cart path for albotross to win the tournament by one.
Gives new meaning to “driving on the cart path”
IT REALLY would have been nice to see the reactions of the players when they saw where the ball landed, as well as the rest of Oosthuizen's hole. I am really curious as to where he took his free drop. The grass in between the U turn on the cart path looks terrible. And it is doubtful if he went all the way down to the other side of the lower cart path that it would have been much better. This video demands a followup.
He has to take the closest point of full relief.
Y u wanna see his hole
The top reply broke down the rest of Louis’ hole.
Apparently, his nearest point of relief was in a spot where he was blocked from going for the green in 2. He took his medicine and hit it to the fairway on his second shot. On the green in 3 and two putted for Par. 🫤
I once had a shot that carried too far left on a 450 yard par 4 dogleg left and it took three massive hops on the cartpath and I found myself putting 15 feet for eagle.
Shit, I'd be lucky to make a 15 feet putt. XD
Did you 3-jack it? ;-D
ActingLikeABoss kh
Cool story bro.
TrusteeGG did you make the putt ?
It's 2020 and the ball is still rolling!
Amazing event. In my life I've seen many golf balls rolling down the cart path but not as dramatic as this one. As for how he took the next shot, I would imagine he got a free drop. Find the nearest spot with grass, drop it there and hit it towards the hole, while would have been pretty nearby, thanks to the 500 yard drive. Most amazing...
“Still rolling” -Tin Cup
About 5 years ago I was playing in a scramble tournament. Playing a par 5 around 480 yds. For our 2nd shots we had about 250 yds to the green. I hit a 4 wood that the one player in our 4 some could follow (we are all in our 60's, eyes not so good anymore). He is watching the shot and then shouts it hit the cart path on the fly, bounded way up in the air and he lost it. As we get close to the green, we see a white spec right by the hole. Was my ball, 2 1/2 feet from the pin. Quite the eagle. Did not win the tournament though as there were some ringers playing whose 4 some finished 12 under par. I think we finished 1 or 2 under.
Ringers? a group of 10 handicapers will shoot -12
@@vacman11 I seem to recall they were single digit handicapers. could have been better than 12 under par. in our group we were probably around 15 to 20 handicaps.
That was unbelievable!
I didn't hit a 500 yard drive, but it was a shot very similar to this. I hit my ball way right and it took a big bounce on the cart path and it just kept bouncing and going. When it stopped, I was at the green side bunker. It ended up to be about a 400 yard drive.

That's probably why most PGA courses don't stupidly have cart paths with big curbs that can hold a ball in. In the US, that ball would have rolled off the path onto the grass and stopped almost immediately after it go on the path.
***** Being an Asian I should resent your tone but sadly I have to agree with you.
***** Asians no read.
Why do so many Asians want to come to the States?
In the UK a ball that landed on a path would get stuck in the granite dust, cockle shells or just plain mud! Golf should be played in the countryside - not on tarmac

This video is awesome for about six different reasons
Ok CZcams, I already watched that video 3 times, stop recommending it to me.
Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago.
@@Patch801 damn you people. Go back to your shanties.
Can we see the next shot? WHAT THE FUCK!
...Why? People came here for the 500 yard drive.
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
I'm sorry, but what does sex have to do with it?
I'm intelligent enough to be able to write like an adult with a measurable IQ. That puts me one up on you two kids.
The idiotnet was such a better place in the 80's before we dumbed it down to the point where even 12 year olds in the slow class got on it.

I did this with a 450yd drive that I pulled a bit. It took two huge bounces on the paved cart path and then bounced into the rough. Easiest birdie of my life.
Tell me commentators and camera crew where all high af and having a good time and there you have it, a core memory
Too bad the hole was only a 178 yard par 3.
ye sure, thats why he took the driver? :P
driveman it's 583 yard Par5
its a joke guys!!!
Was he able to get a birdie that time
LoL
My goodness, that was thrilling.
Best part is how the entire production team completely ignores the other golfer's tee shot and decides to focus on a ball bouncing down the cart path
I once drove a ball that landed on the back of a truck that subsequently traveled across Australia. It ended up being a 3000km drive.
Brought to you by Sir Issac Newton.
some say the ball is still rolling today
GatorBait795 some say you're a dumb git..... It stopped in the recording dummy.
Maybe they cut it short because they wanted a happy ending. Could've rolled around the entire golf course until it reached the 18th green.
Brilliant!
This is like one of those marble race track games with videos CZcams.
Happy Oosthuizen
He hit a 500 yard drive. The rest of us hit 500, yard drives.
Not me, I hit one to 285 first
Swing and a miss lol
I don't see how Louis ever hits a bad shot with that swing.
These guys are good!!
Cart paths...the Alpha and Omega of golf shots.
The ball almost made it to North Korea, Looie would have had a real problem then.
Would've been funny if that couple just casually picked it up and went about there way.
Never pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling!
I once drove a golf ball 125 miles. I hit it WAY off course and it went into an open door of a railroad box car.
Which way was it going? Because it might’ve been negative 125 miles.
Best hockey shot we ever had was when we were playing in the parking lot across the street, and an errant wind up sailed into the bed of a passing pick up truck on the fly. It was worth losing that safe shot plastic puck to witness that :)
:)
Beautiful swing.
How funny would have it been if those people walking by saw that ball and picked it up completely oblivious to the fact that there was a tournament going on
Pretty sure they were there for the tournament
i hit one 450 yards last month, also thanks to the help of the cart path....Obviously dad and lil' bro weren't impressed...
"Obviously"
Fantastisk drive!
A course in Mountain City TN., we would all putt of the tee box onto the cart path, resulting in a wedge into a par 5.
What happened after the drive tho...
he made par
What did he get on the hole?
Here liddle birdie birdie birdie birdie...he got par
Mike Pearce shut up
One time, after my buddy and I finished the 18th, we were standing on the side of the green getting ready to go. The next group was in the fairway and was hitting. We stayed to watch one guy hit so we did not get clobbered. The ball sailed over both our heads into the parking lot, bouncing, bouncing, bouncing towards the golf course entrance, where a car had to swerve violently to avoid being struck. It went across the street, down a driveway, into a back yard. We waited for the guy to come up and I asked what he hit. " 5 iron." Well, you just hit a 400 yard 5 iron. He couldn't believe where the ball ended up.
AWESOME CART PATH!!!!
Happy Gilmore completed that feat no more than a hour ago
Hehe.
Accomplished not completed, still funny though.
Slickman Elite thanks I was thinking it sounded weird lol
It went quickly over that speed bump won't do the balls suspension any good
Performance enhancing cart path
that’s why I love golf ⛳️
I shot 69 yesterday....I didn’t bother playing the back nine
I usually shoot in the 60's or 70's. If it's hotter than that, I don't play.
Tin Cup :)
Lol I was just thinking that before I looked at comments. You said it best brother
Still going....
I remember seeing David Duval crush a ball back in his prime before he won the open I believe. But it flew at least 300.. hit a few paths and wound up being playable. He made birdie. This was on a non links course
for those wondering it was a 574 yard drive , still standing as the longest in human history
Funny video. Now for a true story... the story of me, a true two time loser. I went with friends to Myrtle Beach one year and on a long par five I hit the cart path and bounced all the way down to the green. I chipped off the cart path to about two feet and missed the eagle. Loser! The very next year, same friends, same course, same hole and ... I did it again. All the way down the cart path, chipped on to about 4 feet. Missed the eagle again and thus... the two time loser!
+Bourne Accident you realize you get a free drop because the CP is a man made object
EnderDj Minecraft Yes, but the ball, on both occasions, was on the left side of the path (it leans that way) and the drop (no closer to the hole) would have put me on a downhill lie for a fairly short chip. That scared me, so off the cart path was a better choice. Thanks for your comment.
Bourne Accident ok i didn't think you knew that rule so i was just sayin
***** I did not make this up. I am adequately familiar with the rules of golf. I was a single digit in my younger days. The story is accurate. But I am curious. What rules do you think I am unaware of?
***** Oh...obviously you made an impulsive assumption and didn't read the comments. I had mentioned that the cart path was on sloping topography and the drop (on both occasions) would have put me on a downhill lie for a short chip. The proper decision (on both occasions) was to chip from the level cart path, of which I did successfully (on both occasions).
Happy Gilmore accomplished this feat no more than an hour ago
That comment deserves many a thumbs up.
375 yrds - 125 yrds cart path. Still awesome. Better than I could do. Hats off.
The pavers did a great job with the water slope 👍
XAXAXAXAXAXAXA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it
Cart golf baby!
I did that one night playing after work. It was getting dark, I hit one pretty well but pulled it a bit left. On the left of the hole was the cart path and then OB. We couldn't really see the ball when I teed off, but we heard it hit the cart path. Then heard it bounce, and bounce, and bounce and bounce......the whole foursome stood there silently listening to it. The hole was about 550 yards with a big left turn at the end. My ball had rolled to less than 100 yards out right at the corner. Pitch and a putt and I had an easy Eagle. Except I two putted for a not so easy birdie. :)
I once hit a 6 iron toward a 160 yd par 3, and pushed it onto the cart path short of the green. The ball rolled 300 yds past the hole. I made a 7.
I did not expect this
The very first full 18 holes of golf I played with my uncle when I was 17, I hit a tee shot on a par-5 right off the end of the toe. Hit our golf cart parked next to the tee box, then proceeded to roll down the car path much like this. When it finally stopped it was about 30' from the green. First par I ever made.
Gee, thanks for showing us all the lay out of the hole (cart path and all) and where the ball finally ended up in proximity to the Green.
He hit his shot, the other guy hit his and came to rest, and his is still going and going and going, like the energizer bunny.
hell yeah bro!
Greatest shot in golf history... that hit a cart path.
Oosthuizen : Hits it 500 yards along the path
DeSambo : Hits it 500 aling the fairway
