Trick Shot Roundup: Dropped From A Paraglider, Over The Head And Kids Living In Trick Shot Harmony

Loving the winter time blues inspiring all sorts of creativity, not that our desert dwelling friends are experiencing tough weather.

First, in the Don't Try This At Home Division, Russell Grove has his ball teed up by a paragliderer.


Trick shot veteran Mathias Scholberg and the strongest hands in golf are at it again:

International recording raconteur Matty has paired with up-and-coming artist Joris, who both got our attention with their shots hit just about anywhere in the world. Let's hear it for Generation Z!

Video: Student Sinks Full Court Putt Worth...$500!?

Surely the good folks at Franklin Pierce University could find a way to pay student Brandon Knight more than the $500 he won for draining a full court, halftime putt?

Nice job by Connor Foley to capture this and Sportscenter to post it:

Video: Motorcross Star And Friends Pull Of Fun Backyard Shot

Motorcrosser Taylor Robert says, "When your buddy casually tosses you a Red Bull and there is a random guy playing golf in the background 😳😳😳 Good times messing around with @pat_smage and @russellgrove777 in my backyard yesterday."

Okay, so it was a little more orchestrated than that. Big points for the creativity and execution of this, though I could think of easier ways to hit a ball and drink a Red Bull.

Ok, just standing on one of those medicine balls is a nice feat.

The rest of Kevin Carpenter's trick shot is mighty impressive...(H/T to Golfweek's Kevin Casey):

 

Videos: Trick Shots In Polar Opposite Climates, Shih Tzu Puppy

A few of you wanted to see the trick shots we talked about on Morning Drive and couldn't find them, so alas, here they are.

From Carlos Tercero on Instagram:

And in the polar opposite, polar climate division, Anton Rosen of Stockholm and Monterey, California:

And I know what you're going to say, it's come to this. He's posting Shih Tzu puppy dog videos. And I don't really care because he's just that adorable. Even if he weighs less than a Titleist.

Blame the Grill Room:

Video: DeChambeau's Elevates The Tight Rope Walk

Current U.S. Amateur champion Bryson DeChambeau continues his run-up to the Masters and the day the eccentric golfer turns pro, signing with The Legacy Agency last week (Ryan Lavner reports.)

In the meantime the former SMU golfer appears to be enjoying desert life, walking a tightrope between palm trees and even having someone fire shots at him:

 

Video: Holiday Trick Shot Roundup

The holiday break means one of two things: new GoPro's in the stockings to try out for trick shots, or cripplingly cold weather that leads otherwise good golfers to experiment with a fun shot.

Team Fana of Norway's Junior squad has a page devoted solely to their efforts and while I'll try not to figure out why they hit balls into the one lake not yet frozen, I instead focused on the deft handwork that led to this gem (note the initial mini-flop shot...soft hands!).


A young lad going under Joris Golf is taking his talents to new locales, namely cool European public spaces. Look out Matty18Unda!


And finally in our don't-try-this-at-home award winner, Black Diamond Design's Tyson Lamb is unveiling a new putter at the 2016 PGA Show, but in the meantime he's showing some trick shot courage here...

 

Video: Lob Shot Into The Upper Left Corner Pocket

I believe he's pro golfer Rinaldi Adiyandono, but Indofreestylegolf on Instagram posted his lob shot landing in the shirt pocket. And who says those pockets are only good for cigarettes, betting slips and tip money?

The shot:
