An Interesting Golf Hole $1,000,000 For Hole In One

Ethel — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 07:08:33 +0000

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).

The Extreme 19th costs is R6700 ($A1060) per four ball, that includes helicopter ride, souvenir cap and glove and a DVD of you playing the hole. So far, no one has even come close pocketing the million-dollar prize, but Harrington became the first golfer to conquer the hole within par. Harrington said: “This is the type of innovation and excitement we need to get more people playing golf. “There aren’t many new innovative ways to play the game but this is certainly one of the best.

“I think this hole is awesome – I love the whole experience, the helicopter, the views, the drama and having the green the shape of Africa . “And now I’ve got bragging rights over all the other professionals who have played this and not managed to make a three. I love everything about it.”

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.

Doctors also performed an operation on his foot and said he should make a full recovery within two months. Zhao does not reportedly suffer any health complications related to his height.

Purchasing Video Games and Game Systems online from private sellers and dealers is an economical way to keep up on ever changing technologies, while saving money on the latest consoles and accessories.

Video Gaming Enthusiasts, Professional gamers, and Gaming Industry Professionals frequently purchase the latest equipment as soon as it comes out, many times meaning making several purchases a year.

Once you have found an online store of shopping portal that offers an updated listing of items for sale that interest you, there are a few helpful tips to ensure a smooth transaction and have you enjoying your new purchase in no time.

This should give you a good understanding of the offer. In particular check the picture, shipping details and buyer requirements of the audio equipment that you are interested in. If you have any questions, email the seller. Sometimes it is good to know who the seller is and in what capacity the equipment was used, to get a better feel for how much estimated life is left on the product, as well as any factory warranties that are still relevant. Many times items are put up for sale that were never used at all, or replaced quickly by an updated or promotional test model.

If in doubt about specs of a particular item , you can easily check the manufactures website for a more complete description. Be sure you have the correct model number to insure that you are viewing the proper information.

If a sellers reputation is offered get to know what others buyers have said before you buy or bid on an item. Some of the larger reputable shopping sites, like this one, have reputation ratings of frequent sellers, which is frank and honest input from buyers who have purchased from the seller before. If you have any questions just look for options to ask the seller a question by IM, Email, or even phone.

Check your personal information to make sure it is correct. Also, check that any spam blocking software that you have installed does not prevent a seller from communicating with you. Make every bid a serious one. Don’t bid on multiple similar items from different sellers if you only want one. You could be the winning bidder in more than one auction, and you would be obligated to purchase any items you won.

There are several ways you can pay for your item – most reputable shopping sites recommends you use a major credit or debit card with a MC or Visa Logo that frequently offer their own buyer and fraud protection, which is the safest and easiest way to pay online.
