Seve Ballesteros' "Bunker Shot" at the 1983 Open Championship is considered one of the most memorable and skillful shots in golf history. Here are the details of that remarkable shot:

During the final round of the 1983 Open Championship held at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in England, Seve Ballesteros found himself in a challenging situation on the 18th hole. His ball had landed in a greenside bunker, buried deep in the sand, with very little room to maneuver.

Facing the prospect of a potentially costly shot, Ballesteros showed his exceptional touch and creativity. With a seemingly impossible lie and the championship on the line, he took a calculated risk and decided to play an extraordinary shot.

Using a 9-iron instead of the traditional sand wedge, Ballesteros opened the face of the club, took a wide stance, and positioned himself well outside the bunker. With a combination of sheer power, finesse, and improvisation, he executed a remarkable swing that sent the ball soaring high into the air and landing softly onto the green.

The shot was greeted with a roar of applause and astonishment from the crowd as Ballesteros successfully escaped the bunker and set up a birdie opportunity. The incredible display of skill and ingenuity ultimately contributed to Ballesteros winning his third Open Championship title.

The new PING G Le3 line of golf clubs is many things. But the item at the top of the list is also the simplest.

It’s just plain good business.

The PING G Le3 lineup, you see, is a full line of custom-fit and custom-built clubs engineered specifically for women. And in case you hadn’t noticed, more women are playing golf today than ever before.

The National Golf Foundation’s most recent statistics show the number of women golfers in the US alone has grown 15 percent since 2019. Overall, women now make up 25 percent of all on-course golfers.

And for a company such as PING with a long history of supporting women’s golf (you’ve heard, perhaps of the Solheim Cup?), it’s a smart move to potentially capture a large share of a growing demographic.
