Well, patrons got a treat this year when Vijay Singh steppeden-US6.x Productionhttp://www.footjoy.com/Community/blog/b/footjoy/archive/2009/04/08/vijay-uses-pond-to-ace-16-on-tuesday.aspx#2867Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:22:27 GMT801c7810-7929-407f-a849-0a6918d6ca30:517c5a49-4589-4bdd-8259-d9ac8c031bfafoot_toys<p>I was there when it happened just behind the green. It was a combination of skill and luck, but was very awesome to witness. The roar of the crowd was much louder than on the camera, way to go VJ.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.footjoy.com/Community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2867&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">http://www.footjoy.com/Community/blog/b/footjoy/archive/2009/04/08/vijay-uses-pond-to-ace-16-on-tuesday.aspx#1724Thu, 09 Apr 2009 03:04:42 GMT801c7810-7929-407f-a849-0a6918d6ca30:5110c6ba-2ee6-47b7-8a70-ebb8bd2cf51cAnonymous<p>Well, it wasn&#39;t an ace. You see on practice days they play the hole from the regular tees and then they move up to the edge of the pond for the traditional skip shot. Every group does it in all of the practice rounds. So, since it isn&#39;t from the traditional tees, it really isn&#39;t anything but a great trick shot.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.footjoy.com/Community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1724&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">http://www.footjoy.com/Community/blog/b/footjoy/archive/2009/04/08/vijay-uses-pond-to-ace-16-on-tuesday.aspx#1723Thu, 09 Apr 2009 00:04:16 GMT801c7810-7929-407f-a849-0a6918d6ca30:3e2ba71e-2f9c-4d73-9a57-26bf3c30f395Anonymous<p>Yes, the quality is not that good. It looks more like something that I would shoot. It in no way does justice to Augusta National, but it does give those that have never been there a slight idea what the experience is like.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.footjoy.com/Community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1723&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
