VIDEO: Man hits between-the-legs bunker shot in a trick shot that doesn’t suck

After spending a lot of time in 2014 hawking trick shots, we resolved in 2015 to only bring them to you here on GNN if they're original. This one from Jonathan Day fits the bill.

It's a bit of a show-off move, but Day impressively manages to pull off a between-the-legs bunker shot, extricating the ball from the sand without much trouble and without crotching himself with the golf club. The latter part is probably more remarkable -- and you'd know that if you've ever tried to avoid wrapping your club around a tree during a trouble shot. Usually, your wrists are at stake. Not usually your groin area.
