The best part about this video is his playing partner teeing off and the network was like, "Nah man...stay on that ball!"

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

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.

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 😂

That awkward moment when you and thousands of people are simultaneously watching a golf ball roll down a path.

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...

That’s like a crazy golf secret tunnel that leads directly to the hole

I once did a 500 yard drive. Then I turned around and drove home.

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.

carries 270 yards. rolls 230 yards... haha

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.

This has got to be the most viewed golf shot ever! 😂 Ive watched it more than several times!

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 🤦‍♂️

Televised road makes a pleasing change from televised sky.

Happy Oosthuizen

7.61 years of human time to watch this go down a hill

Would have liked to see where the green was in relationship to the ball.

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!

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

Thanks for sharing now every time I play this hole I aim right at the same cart-path

we are blessed to be part of this beautiful game. Enjoy.

Legend says the ball is still rolling to this day...

0:50 I almost got an heartattack

I almost died when it went past the people 😂😂

Gives new meaning to “driving on the cart path”

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..

Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago.

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. :)

Absolutely love golf

“Still rolling” -Tin Cup

absolutely amazing

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...

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.

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.

It's 2020 and the ball is still rolling!

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.

"That's the last time I enter the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a golf ball."

love it how the tv cameras were on the ball and not the next shot

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 hit 500 yard drives all day and i dont need a fucking cart path to cheat that shit either just got mad skillz.

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.

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.

Performance enhancing cart path

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.

Can we see the next shot? WHAT THE FUCK!

That was unbelievable!

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 don't see how Louis ever hits a bad shot with that swing.

some say the ball is still rolling today

Great camera work. I'm really glad they kept on the ball while we could her the other drive in the background.

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.

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.

Oosthuizen : Hits it 500 yards along the path DeSambo : Hits it 500 aling the fairway

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.

He hit a 500 yard drive. The rest of us hit 500, yard drives.

Brought to you by Sir Issac Newton.

for those wondering it was a 574 yard drive , still standing as the longest in human history

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.

My goodness, that was thrilling.

Too bad the hole was only a 178 yard par 3.

Ok KZfaq, I already watched that video 3 times, stop recommending it to me.

Cart path will do it easily. I am an old duffer, age 64. My typical drive is low 220-230s. I use cheap Kirkland balls. Once in a while, I'll pull a 250+ out of my rectal region. But earlier this summer I got TWO bounces that carried my ball 400. So a pro hitting one 500? Sure. Those guys are monsters on the T.

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

i hit one 450 yards last month, also thanks to the help of the cart path....Obviously dad and lil' bro weren't impressed...

This video is awesome for about six different reasons

The greatest choke artist of all time. Gotta love Louis and his inevitable collapses!

What did he get on the hole?

It went quickly over that speed bump won't do the balls suspension any good

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.

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

What happened after the drive tho...

Happy Gilmore completed that feat no more than a hour ago

Cart paths...the Alpha and Omega of golf shots.

Fantastisk drive!

I shot 69 yesterday....I didn’t bother playing the back nine

Tin Cup :)

Tell me commentators and camera crew where all high af and having a good time and there you have it, a core memory

I sympathize. Once I nearly drove the green on a par 4 as my drive hit a cart path and bounced high and long on it a number of times. That's golf... sometimes it works your way, other times it doesn't.

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!

Happy Gilmore accomplished this feat no more than an hour ago

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These guys are good!!

He got so lucky. I would have loved to see announcers reactions if it kept going.

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.

AWESOME CART PATH!!!!

Brings new meaning to the phrase "long and wrong".

This is like one of those marble race track games with videos KZfaq.

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!

HaHaHaaaa, those people had no idea this was someone’s tee shot! Pretty amazing! 👏🏼😎

Cart paths FTW

I caddied a lot for numbers of pros years back, the strangest one I have seen was a mid week 36 hole comp, ball bounced into greenkeepers UTV on the move, and he stopped near the hole! It was about a 450 yard drive, lol! Took a legal drop from the UTV, but only made par. Other weird one I saw was an errant iron from a par 3 tee, big push to the right way off into the trees, but hit a tree and deflected on to the green a foot away from the hole. And yes I know there is a hole in one off a tree on KZfaq during some PGA event.
