Have you ever wondered if a professional golfer can knock a clay pigeon out of the sky with golf ball? Or skip a golf ball across a lake and hit mini-gong 200 yards away? If you answered, Yes! You’re in luck, because the European Tour has a channel on YouTube called See Every Shot Imaginable.

Clay Pigeon Shooting with a Golf Ball

The Clay Pigeon Golf Shot, takes place in the desert of Dubai and features Thongchai Jaidee, David Horsey, Johan Edfors, and Simon Kahn battling it out to see who can knock a clay pigeon out of the sky with a golf ball, instead of a shotgun. Talk about bird away.

Skipping Rocks Re-Imagined

Gap of Dunloe, Killarney Ireland-European Tour players David Howell, Paul McGinley, Marcel Siem and Rhys Davies attempt to skim a golf ball 200 yards across the lake and try to hit a 9 inch mini-gong. Easier than skipping rocks? Watch the video to find out.

Sandbox8.com and Cleveland Golf have teamed up to give away the new Cleveland Golf T-Frame Mallet Putter to one lucky reader.

Cleveland Golf T-Frame Mallet Putter

Cleveland® Golf introduced the new Cleveland® Golf T-Frame™ Mallet putter, engineered by Never Compromise® at the 2010 PGA Merchandise Show.

Designed from 17-4 Stainless Steel, the precision milled face provides a soft yet solid feel. The satin polish minimizes glare and provides a long-lasting finish.

To celebrate Nike Golf athlete Tiger Woods 70th career title at the Bridgestone Invitational, Sandbox8.com and Nike Golf have teamed up to give away a Nike SQ Dymo Driver (10.5 Regular Flex, Right Handed) to one lucky reader!

• All SQ DYMO and SQ DYMO² drivers are engineered from the ground up with the express purpose of optimizing the launch and spin by loft. Performance is maximized in every loft by varying multiple specifications from lie angle, to MOI and CG placement, to overall head size and face depth.
• Square geometry is about straight and long, great sound, optimal launch by loft, and great looks. A new folded round geometry repositions square mass into a round format for workable distance and control.
• UST Wide Body Shaft Design with AXIV Core: Ultra lightweight shaft power through speed and stability. A larger overall diameter throughout the body maintains shaft stability at impact. AXIV Core material in the tip section for power.
• New SQ Grips: Designed for maximum grip on the top half, and fantastic feel on the bottom, these grips will give you control and power shot after shot.

Prize: (1) Nike SQ Dymo Driver (10.5 Regular Flex, Right Handed) will be awarded to a randomly selected contestant.
