The Million Dollar Golf Shot

It's hailed as the world's hardest golf shot. It's so high that it takes the ball 30 seconds to reach the green.

Players tee off from the top of a mountain in South Africa. Players have to take a helicopter to get to the tee, and then hit a ball over a forest and 1312 feet down to the green below. The hole is part of the Legend Golf and Safari Resort at Entabeni in the Limpopo province in South Africa.

Anyone who gets a hole-in-one will win an impressive $1million dollars (£671,000).

To kick off the new hole two time Open champion Padraig Harrington and fellow pro Raphael Jacquelin, were asked to give it a try.

Both pros managed to hit the green, but neither of them scored a hole in one. You can check out video of the shot over at Born Rich HERE.
