Jeremy Dale is no ordinary professional golfer.

Even though he has standing with both the British PGA and the Dutch PGA, Dale chooses instead to practice the fine art of trick shots.

The Englishman is so good at trick shots that he's ranked in the top five or six in the world.

And he is also the brainchild of the World Trick Shot Championships, an annual event since 2005.



Dale also participates in something called the Freestyle Golf Roadshow, which took him and two other trick shot artists to China last November for the World Cup of Golf.

What distinguishes Jeremy Dale from your run-of-the-mill trick shot entertainer is that he is completely ambidextrous with a golf club.

Not only is that a serious feat in itself, he applies that ambidextrous talent to his trick shots as well.

Is the golf trick shot artist to be taken seriously like the touring pro? Not likely, but there is no denying the talent it takes to hit the amazing shots you can see in this video.

In fact, the talent level for shotmaking between trick shot entertainer and touring pro favors the entertainer, hands down.

Keep in mind, these golfers are capable of hitting the golf ball 300 yards and more - from their knees!

So it begs the question: why don't these talented guys take their ability out on tour?

I posed that very question to Jeremy when I caught up with him by phone in Sydney, Australia yesterday evening.
