Golfer sinks insane 120-foot putt to win $100,000


Hitting a golf ball on a basketball court straight into a tiny hole is tough enough.

How about hitting a golf ball down a long hill on what appears to be carpeting at a convention?

Sounds way harder, but not for Paul Shadle. While attending the Minnesota Golf Show, he sent a 120-footer down a hill and into the hole, winning himself a boat worth $75,000 and $25,000 in cash.

Just how tough was it to nail that one? It's never been done in 28 YEARS!!! From WCCO:

Five bucks to charity gave you three tries at a hundred foot putt.

Whoever made that - and there were 34 over the weekend - were invited back Sunday afternoon, where they then had to make a 50-footer.

Only Paul did, which put all eyes on him for the big one.

A 120-footer for 100 grand.

Shadle kept the boat and used the money for taxes he needs to pay on the prizes.
