TUES VIRAL VIDS - GREATEST CRAZY GOLF SHOT OF ALL-TIME & UTAH JAZZ MASCOT GIVES RIVAL FAN A BIT OF A BEATING...


A round of crazy golf has become a massive YouTube hit, after a water fountain helped one man make 'the greatest shot ever'. In the short clip, a man’s hopes of crazy golf victory look set to be dashed as the golf ball lies in the middle of a fountain. As he goes to putt the ball, the chances of getting the ball out of the fountain, let alone making the shot, seem unlikely. But just when things look hopeless, the man receives an unlikely piece of luck. The ball is sitting directly in the middle of the fountain, and when a blast of water gushes up, it takes the golf ball with it. Quickly putting the now-floating golf ball, the ball bounces around the green before finishing up in the hole. The surprised spectators then join the man in running around screaming like idiots. You may wish to stop watching at this point.
Dave im a golfer and playin a comp one day, playing parterner duffs a shot and it travel 50yrds right and low, sum one opens the door of a portoloo at the exact moment the ball hits it so it ricochades back 2wards the green and ends up 5inches from the hole! Amazing! Sarah, doneraile

A tetchy Cleveland Cavaliers fan was left red-faced after being handed a good, old-fashioned ass-whooping by the mascot of rival team Utah Jazz when he suffered a severe sense-of-humour bypass at a game this week. Now, in any normal circumstances, you probably wouldn't pick on a bear. But when that bear is of the kid-pleasing, T-shirt-throwing, smiling-at-sports-events variety, you maybe think you stand a chance. Unfortunately, this Cavs fan's plan to beat the living daylights out of the mascot backfired when it turned out he was no match for the hulking child hugger. The incident began innocently enough with a bit of light-hearted banter. The Cavs fan had brought a little sign to the NBA game, played at the Jazz's home court, which read "Cavs Rule, Jazz Stink". So, during the interval, the mascot took an even bigger sign up to said fan with "I'm A Loser" emblazoned across the front. Evidently jealous of the size of the mascot's banner, there followed a bit of pushing and shoving and grabbing of signs before the fan took things a step too far and started punching the bear in the head. Not good, especially with kids watching. Security escorted the fan away, but with the mascots taunts ringing loudly in his ear, the red mist descended and the fan broke free of security to take a run at the mascot. The fool didn't seem to judge his ability to front up to a 7ft bear very well though, and ends up flat on his back on the court - much to the pleasure of most of the crowd. We particularly like the security guard high-fiving the mascot afterwards - and the acrobatic celebration of his knockout victory. Although this half-time entertainment wasn't planned - by the looks of it - the Jazz mascot beating down a fan is just the latest interval entertainment from US sports to hit these shores. Last week (and further down the blog) the Boston Blaze lacrosse team got into hot water for staging a cheerleader lapdance show for the team's mascot, Scorch, as a means of entertaining the crowd. Maybe cuddly mascots aren't so family friendly after all...
