    Trending: 10 best water shots

    March 22, 2012

    In honor of World Water Day it seems only appropriate to pay tribute to the enormous role the element plays in the sport of golf. In no way is this meant to undermine the importance and awareness of World Water Day, but it is an undeniable fact that water wreaks havoc on the course. Yet, while it may create doom and gloom for those whose shots fall peril to a well-placed water hazard, the entertainment value for those watching cannot be denied. With that in mind, I've curated a list of the 10 best water shots; best being a subjective term of course (and limited to internet video presence), since some of these shots are amazing, while others are downright hysterical. In the name of fun I've given them all topical categories. And please remember to do your part to conserve water today. No matter what your co-workers say, showering is optional.
