Although many consider it a niche sport, golf is getting more and more popular. Enthusiasts are taking to the golf course regularly to hit a few tees. In the age of social media, many of the shots by these amateur golfers and other intriguing moments from the course go viral.

One such video that has gone viral shows a bunch of enthusiasts trying their best shots. But these are not just practice putts. These amateur golfers were doing it for a reward–the prize money.

Tee off for $250,000

ZireGolf, one of the best Instagram pages for memes and videos on golf and around golf, has put out a video and some pictures that have fans in for a surprise. The clip shows golfing enthusiasts trying out difficult shots, for the first time probably.

The video shows about 12 golfers taking a risk at a shot from 140 yards–all for a chance to win $250,000! ZireGolf captioned the video as: “Shot of his life.” We are sure it was exactly that for the rookie, one that he would never forget in his lifetime.
