Air Shot

Want to drive a golf ball further than Tiger Woods? In fact 470 yards, to be precise. Well, now there's no need to book in for endless lessons, or buy a new driver with a club head the size of a Fiat 500 - no, simply play the Extreme 19th Hole at Legends Golf & Safari Lodge in South Africa, which involves a vertical drop of 430 metres to the green. The average shot takes 30 seconds to reach the green, but as yet no-one - not even a pro - has got a hole in one, despite a $1 million dollar prize on offer. Playing the 19th comes in at about £550 per four ball, including helicopter transfer (to the delight of the caddies), souvenir cap and glove and video of your longest ever drive.
