Extreme golf shot ... off a 430m cliff ($1 million prize)

This is the hardest golf shot in the world, from the top of a 430m mountain, over a forest and onto the green below.

But should any golfer be able to make what has been dubbed 'the Everest of golf shots' with a hole in one they will pocket a prize of $1million (£660,000).  Yeah, this shot is going to take a lot of balls!!  I'm jus' sayin'!  Now this would be a successful camping trip!

The Extreme 19th hole is part of the Legend Golf and Safari Resort in South Africa on the top of the impressive Hanglip Mountain.

At 587m it is the longest Par 3 in the world and balls take 30 seconds to to reach the green from the 430m mountain tee.

Don't expect to get there on a golf buggy either, the tee is accessible only by an helicopter ride.

"Golfers are invited to tee-off from the edge of the mountain in an attempt to hit a hole-in-one on the 19th located at the bottom of the cliff." said a spokesperson for the course.

"A hole-in-one will soon earn the lucky golfer $1m. Well I don't know about the "soon" part! The Extreme 19th, makes for a very unique and exciting golfing experience."
