Golf can be an incredibly fun and addicting sport, yet at the same time incredibly frustrating. One of the more frustrating aspects of sport is putting or "short game," which sometimes proves to be everything but short.

Over golf's history, there have been many amazing putts made, and now with the invention of YouTube, we have access to many of those putts, from both professional and the average golfer.

Here are the top 10.

10. Long Putt Finds Hole

This putt is rather boring, but by no means unimpressive.

This guy nails it with the perfect speed and great aim.

What may be even more impressive is that he managed to stay focused despite the fact that whoever filmed the video was talking during his stroke.

Come on guys, golf etiquette.

9. Long Putt with Nice Break

This guy's putt was both lengthy and had more than its share of movement.

To me, what was even more entertaining than the putt was the guy's buddies and how unenthused they appear. 

Did they not just see that thing go in the hole?

8. Free Time Equals Crazy Putts

In this next video, we find several college kids who appear to have either way too much free time on their hands or simply choose to never go to class.

This compilation of trick putts throughout their dorm is nuts, and appears to be pretty legit.

Now you have an idea of what you could do the next time you're bored.

7. Down Flights

This video certainly takes the cake when it comes to lengthy putts.

Although it's more luck than skill that the ball actually went in the cup, this shot is still one in a million.

Not too many people even have the resources to pull this off, I mean how many stories is this guy's house?

6. Use the Force

While this putt may not be the "longest" distance wise, it was certainly pretty lengthy time-wise.

Sam Torrence sinks this medium length beauty after nearly one long minute.

He probably had a talk with Yoda before the round.

5. More College Kids

More college kids with more than enough time on their hands. This putt took place in a dorm hallway it appears, and in the video description, the uploader states it's 125 feet long.

Not only does the kid sink the marathon putt, he also managed to correctly read the break of the carpet.

Impressive.

4. For All the Money

I don't know about you, but whenever the added pressure of money is present, the task at hand usually becomes much harder and much more nerve-racking.

Especially something like attempting to nail a 60-foot putt for $10,000.

This guy reads everything perfectly and better yet walks away with a few g's in his pocket.

Not too shabby.

3. For Even More Money

If you thought ten grand was a lot for sinking a putt, try multiplying that by five.

This guy manages to pull off a 100-footer with a little break en route to winning a $50,000 prize.

Some people just have more luck than others.

2. Missouri State Brings It Back

If this video doesn't make your jaw drop, nothing will.

A young man on the Missouri State golf team drains this incredible literally up and down putt and acts like it's nothing. 

While watching this, a couple of questions come to mind:

Is it even real? Of course it is. I think.

Or perhaps a better question to ask, how many times did he try before that and fail?

Nevertheless, still amazing.

1. 200-Footer

200 feet.

Little League baseball players have to hit a ball 200 feet for a home run, but this guy just sinks a tiny ball in a tiny cup 200 feet away.

That is flat-out ridiculous.

And take a look at the green, I'd be lucky to even three-putt from that far out.

This shot is absolutely incredible, how can a 200-footer not be No. 1?
