What promises to be a valuable lesson from pro golfer Ian Poulter about how to shoot your way out of a tricky situation takes a turn for the worse in this YouTube video, prooving that even the best golfers sometimes have  shots that go wrong!

Poulter is an English golfer who’s part of the PGA and European tours. He’s as well known for his unique fashion style and golf clothing line as he is for his swing.

Some of the best golf courses in Arizona were paid for by the sale of surrounding homes. Playing golf near homes is a “necessary evil,” making a golf on a course that’s free of homes all the sweeter. Some of the best courses in Arizona are home-free, including the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain in Marana, Arizona. Dove Mountain has recently been in the news as the site of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship. Instead of homes, the Dove Mountain courses are surrounded by the striking scenery of the Sonoran Desert and the Tortolita Mountains.

We’ve all heard of hail the size of golf balls, but it was raining actual golf balls in Scottsdale this week when a helicopter dropped 3,000 balls at the Camelback Inn Golf Club. It was all done in the name of charity. Each ball represented a $20 donation to Arizona USMC Wounded Warriors, an organization that assists Arizona Marines and their families. Another recipient was Wounded Wear, which donates clothing to those who have been wounded while serving. Donors had an added incentive for donating to the cause. Each ball was numbered and the ball that ended up in or closest to a designated hole, won its donor a free trip to Hawaii. The Camelback Inn sponsored the event and provided the incentive prize.

Located in beautiful Scottsdale, Camelback Golf Club features two-18 hole championship courses. The Padre Course is known for its bunkering, landforms and surrounding trees. Its 18th hole was been called Arizona’s best water hole by Arizona Golf Magazine. The Indian Bend course features a backdrop of magnificent mountains, eucalyptus and palm trees. Camelback also includes a practice facility with a driving range and putting greens.
