Chapter 695 - 331: Wind Is Also Part of the Game! (2)
About four seconds after it flew out, the golf ball landed on the green of the 6th hole with a bang, about 4 yards from the cup.
"On the green in one stroke again! And the landing spot is great! Brother Jiang is still playing super steady! Will this ball go in? Let’s wait and see!"
"Hurry hurry hurry! Zoom in on the ball, zoom in on the ball!!"
Seeing where the ball landed, Xiang Yiwei shouted excitedly and told the director to quickly focus on the rolling golf ball.
Just before Jiang Tao teed off, Xiang Yiwei and her crew had already arrived near the hole, and as soon as they saw the ball land they couldn’t wait to rush up.
Hearing Xiang Yiwei, the director quickly aimed the camera at the golf ball still slowly rolling forward on the turf under inertia.
Xiang Yiwei’s streaming gear costs tens of thousands as a full set, and the feed is 4K ultra HD, capturing every tiny detail crystal clear.
The slow rolling trajectory of the golf ball, the blades of grass on the green being pressed down and then bouncing back upright.
The tens-of-thousands-strong livestream chat seemed to be put on pause; at this moment it was eerily quiet, no more bullet comments or gifts coming in.
Whether it was the spectators on-site or the viewers scattered all over the country in the livestream, tens of thousands of eyes were all locked on that slowly rolling little white ball.
yards, 2 yards, 1 yard...
centimeters, 20 centimeters, 10 centimeters...
The golf ball moved slower and slower, slower and slower.
In the end, when it was only 1 centimeter away from the hole, the ball was almost about to come to a complete stop.
Seeing this, everyone’s hearts tightened up!
Just that tiny bit more!
Just that tiny bit more and he’d have the 1 million in the bag!
If this doesn’t go in, he’ll probably be living in regret for a long time!
Just that tiniest sliver of power!!
Or rather, just that tiniest sliver of luck.
The golf ball stopped moving less than 0.5 centimeters from the cup, resting there steadily.
"Missed it... just a little bit short."
Seeing this, Jiang Tao sighed to himself, but quickly adjusted his mood.
There are still 12 holes left, still more chances.
"What a pity, Xiao Jiang, just that little bit."
Du Taoming patted Jiang Tao on the shoulder with a deeply regretful look.
Xiang Huabin also said regretfully, "Even though it didn’t end up as a hole-in-one this time, the eagle is absolutely locked in. It’s still a superb shot!"
"Such a pity, just that tiny bit more and it would have..."
Xiang Yiwei also looked at the camera with the same regretful expression.
She hadn’t finished her sentence when she suddenly felt a chill on her legs, a gust of breeze brushed past and lifted the hem of her short skirt slightly; the scenery beneath flashed and disappeared.
Wind!!!
Feeling the sudden gust, Xiang Yiwei’s gaze swished back to the golf ball stopped at the edge of the cup.
Sure enough!
Borrowing the force of that gust, the ball that had just stopped started moving forward again, just the tiniest bit!
Clang!!!
With a crisp sound, the golf ball dropped firmly into the hole!
"It’s in!!!"
Xiang Yiwei pumped her fist and cheered excitedly, jumping up from the ground in delight!
She didn’t feel even the slightest heartache over her dad about to lose 1 million.
She was purely hyped up over the great shot Jiang Tao just made!
For a golf lover.
Seeing a player hit a hole-in-one with your own eyes is like watching a soccer player score with a bicycle kick right in front of you.
For a rare shot like this, you’d cheer for it even if it’s your opponent.
"The 1 million is in the bag!!"
"Oh my god, another hole-in-one!! He’s gone god mode!"
"So freaking awesome! My heart almost couldn’t take it!"
"Insane insane insane! Too insane! God Jiang is unbeatable!!"
"A runner who can’t play golf is not a good track athlete!"
"I’m convinced, he’s that strong at running and this strong at golf too—how can the gap between people be this huge!"
"Liking and crying envy-tears for God Jiang!"
"I told you God Jiang could do it, he definitely could! Too insane!"
"Why do I feel like the ball had already stopped just now? How did it go in again, was that cheating?"
"The camera caught it that clearly, how could it be cheating!"
"I saw it clearly! It was the wind! A sudden gust of wind blew the ball in. If you want to call it cheating, then it’s Mother Nature helping God Jiang cheat!"
"In golf, wind and water are also part of the game. If the ball is blown into the hole by the wind, there’s no need to take it out; it counts as a successful stroke!"
"Even the heavens are helping God Jiang! This luck is off the charts!"
"God Jiang, go buy some lottery tickets today, we’ll all follow your numbers, we’ll have the lottery director in tears for sure!"
"Too intense, too exciting! So golf can be this thrilling!"
"Congrats to God Jiang, massive congrats, this is insane!"
"Fourth hole-in-one already, this is downright unbelievable! God Jiang is going to create a golf legend today!"
"Not ’going to’, he’s already created a legend!"
"I’ll just say it here: aside from God Jiang himself, probably no one on earth can put up a record this f*cking crazy!"
After Jiang Tao nailed another hole-in-one, both the rubberneckers on-site and the viewers in the livestream all exploded with excitement!
"Amazing, amazing! Congrats, Xiao Jiang! I knew you could definitely do it!!"
Seeing Jiang Tao really hit another hole-in-one, Xiang Huabin’s expression was even more excited than Jiang Tao’s.
Even though he was about to lose 1 million, the heat and buzz this incident caused, plus the long-term revenue it would bring to the course...
Compared to that, this 1 million is nothing at all!
Just like when a lottery shop sells a first-prize ticket, its sales are bound to skyrocket for a while afterward.
Everyone wants to rub some of that luck.
On the course at Huabin Golf, in a single round they got 4 hole-in-ones plus an eagle.
Results enough to attract global attention will definitely drag in golf lovers from all around the world to come challenge the course!
After today, the course Jiang Tao and Du Taoming played on will definitely become the hottest course in the world!
The world is huge, and top golfers everywhere are countless.
If some nobody in the circle can put up numbers this eye-popping, then they’ll think they can too if they come!
That way, Huabin Golf won’t just be famous domestically, it’ll be famous internationally!
Even if Jiang Tao scores a hole-in-one on all the remaining 12 holes and wins 12 million off Xiang Huabin, Old Xiang would still be making a killing!
This wave of timing and marketing for the estate and the course from him is nothing short of a "move of God"!
"Heh, just good luck, just good luck."
Jiang Tao looked calm on the outside, but inside he was beyond fired up.
"This actually worked? My luck really is kind of busted today!"
"One of these days I really gotta give this River Stone bracelet a good maintenance and wax."
Watching the 1 million that had clearly flown away get blown right back into his mouth by a gust of wind, Jiang Tao felt insanely happy.
On another fairway not far away, Huang He and Ma Junting, who had witnessed Jiang Tao’s second hole-in-one from start to finish, also had quite the looks on their faces.
"This Jiang kid’s luck is way too good, right? The ball had obviously stopped just now! That gust of wind came way too perfectly timed."
Staring at the livestream on his phone, Ma Junting laughed and complained to Huang He.
Huang He gazed off toward where Jiang Tao was and said flatly:
"Luck is also a part of strength. Without his skill, even if someone else got the same gust of wind, they wouldn’t necessarily get his results."
Ma Junting suddenly said, "After today, he’s probably going to blow up in this circle. We’d better start planning early."
"You’re right, so we can’t wait. We have to go over right now and pull him into our team, strike first!"
As soon as he finished, Huang He strode off in big steps toward where Jiang Tao was.
Ma Junting froze for a second or two, then hurriedly chased after Huang He.
