Watch this impossible golf putt actually land in the hole

The shortest distance between two points may be a straight line, but sometimes it’s necessary to circumvent that line to successfully get from point A to point B. Well, if you’re playing golf, anyway.

YouTube channel Golfing Links Organisation uploaded a jaw-dropping video of “Greg” attempting a putt on the ninth green at Elie, a links golf course in Scotland. Instead of giving the ball a small tap, he instead hits it almost entirely away from the hole. Once he does so, the laws of physics and gravity take over.

Check it out:

While Greg’s skills are no doubt impressive, I certainly wouldn’t want to play pool or go bowling with him.
