With nothing much to do as the coronavirus pandemic continues and pro and amateur athletes are staying home due to social distancing, we’ve seen some of them resort to keeping themselves busy with some creativity.
Specifically, they’re turning to golf and becoming viral video stars by trying out some wild trick shots in their backyards or in their houses, and it’s a reminder that even if you play basketball or baseball or hockey, you can still be really, really good at golf (and as someone who wants to be really, really good at golf, I’m jealous).
Here are some of the shots:
