An Interesting Golf Hole $1,000,000 For Hole In One
For all the golf enthusiasts, professionals Extreme golf:
Forget pitch and putt – this tee-off point on top of a 430m mountain in South Africa is the hardest golf shot in the world, and more than $US1 million awaits the player who can score a hole in one. Players must take a helicopter to the top to play the longest – and highest – par three on the planet. Taking the shot also requires courage – a player needs to teeter terrifyingly close to the edge of the mammoth hillside.
Indeed, the Extreme 19th Hole is so high the ball takes almost 30 seconds to reach the ground. Channel Nine cricket commentator Mark Nicholas recently joined an elite list to have the shot in just three swings. “It was awesome, riveting and phenomenal,” he said. “It’s like the end of the world when you get up there and it’s an awful lot of fun. “It’s such an adrenalin rush taking the helicopter up and then rushing back down.” The hole is based at the Legends Golf and Safari Resort, within the Entabeni Safari Conservancy in South Africa ‘s north-eastern Limpopo Province . The other 18 holes were designed by world golfing legends including Trevor Immelman, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington and Australia ‘s Robert Allenby.
A round of golf – including a buggy and lunch – will set you back R450 ($A70).
Tags: New Contender For World’s Tallest Man
A new contender for world’s tallest man has been discovered in China, after he attended hospital for surgery. Zhao Liang was measured at 2.46m by doctors in Tianjin, where the ex-basketball player was being treated for a foot injury.
It puts him 10cm above the official title-holder, Chinese citizen Bao Xishun, who was first recognised by Guinness World Records in 2005.
Zhao, 27, is now seeking official recognition of his huge stature.
Until Zhao is independently measured by judges from the Guinness team, he cannot be officially considered the world’s tallest man.
The current holder, 57-year-old Bao Xishun, stands at 2.36m tall.
Zhao Liang’s career in his home province of Henan was cut short when he injured his foot a decade ago.
He was unemployed until 2006, when he started working with a street art troupe and learned to perform magic tricks and play instruments.
But the 27-year-old caused a new stir when he walked into the Tianjin hospital, and staff there took his measurements.
