Guy Aces A Hole In One Using Concrete Slabs

Golf is a sport that requires a lot of patience. Basically anyone can play it, as long as they have nerves of steel and sniper aim. Sure, you can practice all that, but you have to be predisposed for it, right? When it comes to wrought-iron nerves, nobody ever think of teens. But one teen from the United States not only managed to prove there is an exception to the rule, he managed to show that you can play golf with more than just a club and a ball.

This teenage golfer is named Garrett Clark and he shows off his exceptional skills in the sport with this 15-part trick shot, using simple concrete slabs! And he aced a hole-in-one. The 18-year-old slammed his previous record of nine bounces after he made the golf ball ricochet off the 15 perfectly placed slabs.

It looks to good to be true, but Garrett claims that it only took him two hours and thirty minutes to perfect this trick. He kept his modesty though, since he filmed the trick on his own putting green, in his own backyard, with his own iPhone.

The Kansas City native says: “I caught the golfing bug five years ago but the trick shots, I only started that about 18 months ago. Me and my cousin were just messing around juggling balls in the living room and I thought 'let’s see if we can shoot something'. The same day I had got Instagram, so uploaded it there. I'd only seen a four-slab one and I thought 'that's pretty cool' so tried six.

“It went viral - that was last summer - and I thought 'that's pretty sick right there' so I thought I would try eight and it worked. A team beat it with nine bounces and I was like 'crap they've beaten me' so I thought I'd do 15 and it worked. That one was two-and-a-half hours work. I'd been doing it for ages and I asked my friend to come over and set up a camera on the roof. He hadn't even pressed the button to record when I did it. You can see me look up to the roof and say 'dude'. I felt a bit bad for him.”

He says he started getting interested in golf five years ago when he went with his neighbors to a three-par golf course and apparently he got a hole-in-one from 85 yards with a 7 iron in his first ever game. Garrett is now a +1 handicap and performed his 15-bounce trick shot at home on April 29 on a green he installed years ago with his cousin Micah. He now spends more than 20 hours a week on that same course and hopes to go pro after college.

If you are very much into these trick shots, then we more than warmly suggest you check out Andrew Borys and his compilations. The guy truly is a pro in what he does with an iron and a couple of golf balls.
