Dan Fitch looks at the 7 most extraordinary golf shots of all time.

"For me, the worst part of playing golf, by far, has always been hitting the ball." - Dave Barry

It's true that some people hit the golf ball better than others, but whether you're a hacker or a champion, you've got an equal chance of hitting a shot that is in some way unique.

Ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, here are seven extraordinary golf shots.

7. Golfer Hits A Birdie

Nothing unusual about hitting a birdie, you might think. Well, there is if you kill it.

6. John Daly Combines His Two Great Loves

John Daly tees off at a Pro-Am tournament from a beer can. The only surprise here is that the beer can made it that far without being consumed.

5. Michael Jordan Slam Dunks

Micahel Jordan was known for his slam dunks on the basketball court and as you will see, his golfing technique is pretty similar.

4. Vijay Skims

A hole in one is a marvelous thing. Vijay Singh elevates the feat to greater heights by skimming the ball off some water en-route.

3. On The Volley

Is the golfer here in on this trick shot, or is it just an insane coincidence that he makes contact with the ball that is thrown by his friends? What we do know is that you'll watch this video more than once to make your mind up.

2. Fuzzy Gets Lucky

In the 2006 Allianz Championship, Fuzzy Zoeller proved that it's sometimes better to be lucky than accurate.

His tee shot on the par three hole, ends up in the rough. It looks like a poor shot, but then very slowly, the ball begins to move...

1. Tiger's Most Amazing Shot

Tiger Woods most amazing shot is all the more special for the fact that it came during the high-pressure atmosphere of the 2006 Masters.

Watch Tiger defy the laws of physics, with this incredible shot.
