After literally tens of thousands of Golden Tee Great Shots, the field has been narrowed down to five. Now the rest is up to you.
Throughout 2009 we saw some absolutely ridiculous shots that wowed us GT nuts each and every month. While many of these shots were worthy for a spot in our monthly feature, only five of them made the cut to have a chance at Shot of the Year.
Up until now, the marketing team had the honors of selecting the monthly winners. It would only be fitting, however, to allow the players and the fans to have the say with supreme GT bragging rights up for grabs. Below are the five finalists for Shot of the Year along with a poll so you can cast your vote. Our winner who receives the most votes between now and January 15th will be celebrated on Goldentee.com and the GTB for years to come!
And your finalists areā¦
Selection #1: This shot was hit back in February and featured one of the most bizarre shortcut attempts in recent memory. While it may not look like it, this shot was certainly planned. The outcome, however, was too good not to have a spot in our final five.
Selection #2: Our only animal-aided hole-in-one of ’09 made some serious noise on the GT social media sites and for good reason. The “oink” you hear mid-shot is something that many GT fans will never forget and the bounce that followed was even sweeter.
Selection #3: Here was a 1st in 2009, a hard-to-come-by super albatross, aka a hole-in-one on a par-5. This also just happened to be one of the longest shots of 2009 and was hit only months before 2010 debuted. Unbelievable effort here and perhaps the most “skilled” of the bunch.
Selection #4: Our one and only shot to make the cut from a 2010 course was the best of many outstanding Monument Valley moments. A favorable wind/ball bounce made this shot defy all physics on it’s way to jumping over the giant wall and just barely make the green. The rest was history.
Selection #5: Our final shot was the only old school course featured in our final five. There’s no doubt that this shot required an obscene amount of luck on its way to finding the hole, but it managed to do just that. This was also the only Skins Play shot to make the cut. Words really can’t describe the following 22 seconds.
You’ve seen the selections, now you have the chance to decide which shot deserves a spot in Golden Tee history. Vote early, vote often, and cast your vote below between now and January 15th and stay tuned to the Golden Tee Blog and Goldentee.com for more!

WHAT ABOUT THIS SHOT?

Are you kidding? All these shots are pure luck with the exception of Brian B.’s super albatross. The shot I did on Sunnywood 18 skip off the water, which I did twice, blows these away. Very disappointed in your choices.
Damage,
I hear what you’re saying. And your shot(s) were both very close to being nominated. The fact that some of these shots are very lucky make it fun. With that said, as brilliant as your’s and Bernz’s shots were, they also required a ton of luck as well. I understand both of you played your shots how they turned out, but so did the shot on Bonnie #9 which is included. This is meant for fun, meant to entertain, but I love the fact that there is some controversy/debate. With 30,000 plus Great Shots to chose from that was bound to be the case. Thanks for stopping by and once again, nice shots on Sunny 18.
I can’t believe that someone would choose a lucky bacon shot over an actual skill shot like the super albatross. Clearly there are a bunch of retards stuffing the votes.
I hope you fix this Adam. I cant believe someone needs to cheat on something so petty
