7/20/2007: Stephen Has Completed "Trick This!"


Well, when I started out, this seemed near impossible to do. I started out trying to do it off of the ground and then off a tee. I looked like a duck flailing as it was mauled by a wolverine. Then I tried hitting the ball off of the driving range mat, with a slight incline in it. I kept going under the ball and it would simply roll backwards. Then I put Tyson's wallet in front of it and tried that and eventually I got it to flop backwards just a few feet. But, overall, up to that point, it was a failure. Little did I know the kid in the video had actually stacked two balls on top of each other. This is exactly what the driving range owner suggested, so I did that and that worked fantastically. In fact, all 3 were higher than the kid's shot in the video. I didn't even think about him catching it in the video until after I just rewatched it. That wouldn't have been hard to do either, I just wasn't trying to. Anyways, check out the video.

7/20/2007: Nathan Assigns "Trick This" To Stephen



Your task is to try to recreate a golf trick shot I saw on YouTube.

Requirements: Video yourself trying to recreate this golf trick shot. GOLF TRICK SHOT I might suggest trying it with plastic balls instead of real ones, so not to loose any balls in the process. If your get good at it then try to do it with real golf balls and film that for a later post if you want to.

Have fun with this and I want to see it next time on the course.
