Watch: pro long driver swings so hard his club snaps
...and his club flies into the crowd and takes out a fan!
Professional long drivers swing it hard and fast - really fast. Like 150mph+ fast.
And when you’re whipping it that hard around your body, inevitably sometimes things give way. And that’s exactly what happened yesterday at the World Long Drive Championship.
Ex-baseball player turned golf ball crusher Paul Bunyan’s club snapped during his swing, sending one fan home with a special momento.
How hard is Wes Patterson swinging?
He just snapped his driver!!! Volvik #WorldLongDrive pic.twitter.com/LRUnXQEXuI— Golf Channel (@GolfChannel) September 6, 2017
