This is the moment a teenage golf star showed off his skills with a ridiculously complicated 15-part trick shot – which ended in a hole-in-one.
Garrett Clark, 18, potted the ball after it ricocheted off 15 perfectly-placed paving slabs – beating the previous record of nine bounces.
It took him two-and-a-half hours to perfect the shot – and he managed to capture it on film after he rigged up his iPhone on a tripod on the putting green in his back yard.
The teenager – who only started golfing five years ago – spends more than 20 hours a week on the course and hopes to turn pro after college.
But while he studies he shares his amazing trick shots – including backwards putts and keepy-uppys – on his 48,000 followers on Instagram at @gm__golf.
Garrett, from Kansas City, USA, said: “I caught the golfing bug five years ago but the trick shots, I only started that about 18 months ago.
“Me and my cousin were just messing around juggling balls in the living room and I thought ‘lets see if we can shoot something’. The same day I had got Instagram, so uploaded it there.
“I’d only seen a four-slab one and I thought ‘that’s pretty cool’ so tried six.
“It went viral – that was last summer – and I thought ‘that’s pretty sick right there’ so I thought I would try eight and it worked.
“A team beat it with nine bounces and I was like ‘crap they’ve beaten me’ so I thought I’d do 15 and it worked.
“That one was two-and-a-half hours work. I’d been doing it for ages and I asked my friend to come over and set up a camera on the roof.
“He hadn’t even pressed the button to record when I did it. You can see me look up to the roof and say ‘dude’. I felt a bit bad for him.”
Garret got hooked on golf when he went to a three-par course with his neighbours – and staggeringly got a hole-in-one from 85 yards with a 7 iron in his first ever game.
The teenager is now a +1 handicap and performed his 15-bounce trick shot at home on April 29 on a green he installed years ago with his cousin Micah.
