In the last couple of days, these two shots seem to be all everyone is talking about.  First the Jacksonville Jaguars’ mascot won a closest to the pin contest at media day for the Players Championship. There were a couple of former PGA Tour members in the competition too.

And then there is Sei Young Kim who not only chips in on the 72nd hole to force a playoff, but then holes her approach from over 150 yards away on the first playoff hole for a tournament-winning eagle.

These may be a couple of early entries for the shots of the year.

I was checking twitter today and saw the @LPGA posted a link to a trailer made by SkratchTV where they have made a professional golf version of a Game Of Thrones trailer.

Here is their trailer.

And here is the Game Of Thrones trailer.  Season 5 premiers tonight after some golf tournament.

Here is the LPGA’s tweet

Tiger Woods snap-hooked his tee shot on 13 into the woods, and reacted by dropping an f-bomb that was caught on CBS’ microphones.  A few minutes later commentator Ian Baker-Finch apologized to any viewers who might have been offended by Tiger’s potty mouth.

Golf writer Geoff Shackelford tweeted out the offending video.

He’s back!! RT @mshamburger1: Tiger with f-bomb after horrible drive, still makes birdie. http://t.co/gHmUznFp7Z https://t.co/84BTyIy95E

Oh yeah…and Tiger found his ball, chipped out, wedged on, and then made the putt for birdie.

Part of the Masters traditions is the par-3 contest, and today Jack Nicklaus wowed the crowd by scoring a hole-in-one on the 4th hole.   Kevin Streelman defeated Camilo Villegas in a playoff, meaning he won’t win the main tournament.

My two favourite calls from The Masters both came from Verne Lundquist.  I looked all over YouTube for them and this is as good as I could find (most clips either had some other commentary or lame music over the actual audio). The clip is from the TSN SportCenter Top 10 Masters Moments back a few years ago, with an obvious Canadian bias as Mike Weir’s 2003 win was number 1.

The key calls are numbers 3 (Tiger’s chip-in on 16 back in 2005 with the “In your life…” call) and  2 (Jack Nicklaus in 1986 on 17’s “Yes Sir!”).

Bonus for number 5 when Tiger completes his “Tiger Slam”, winning all four major titles in a row, and you can hear Ken Venturi say what will be true forever, “Something I dreamt I would never see and I thought that no one would ever do”.

UPDATE – the TSN clip is no longer available so I replaced it with another one.  You still get Verne’s two calls.

Last night on Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy took on Bubba Watson in a game called “Pie Golf” where the loser gets a pie to the face courtesy of January Jones.  Here is the clip.

You can find some good gifs of the pie shots on Golf Digest.

This is like when Jimmy took on Rory McIlroy in a chipping contest, with Tiger Woods as his coach.

I think every golfer who ever owned a video game console has played EA Sports Tiger Woods PGA Tour at some point.  After a couple of years of not producing a golf game, the Tiger Woods era is officially over as EA Sports is back with EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour.

Here is their trailer for the new game.

I always liked playing the Tiger Woods golf games, it was fun shooting -10 or better every round of golf.  I think my best score was -18 (56), but I can’t remember which course (maybe Pebble?).
