Watch: Bukayo Saka flushes one after 'two-minute' lesson from LIV Golf pro in Germany
England winger Bukayo Saka was visibly shocked after he started flushing shots after a 'two-minute' lesson with LIV Golf's Ian Poulter.
England winger Bukayo Saka was visibly shocked after he started flushing shots down the range following a 'two-minute' golf lesson with LIV's Ian Poulter.
Poulter and his Majesticks teammate, Sam Horsfield, visited the team base in Germany over the weekend.
The resort they are staying at has 45 holes available along with a well-manicured practice facility, which the players have been using.
England captain Harry Kane is thought to be the best golfer in the squad and is understood to play off a handicap of three.

Kane said he felt the pressure before heading out to the range for a coaching and team competition with Poulter and Horsfield.
"Everyone is expecting me to wipe the floor with the lads," he said. "It's not that easy."
The aforementioned Saka, who scored England's equaliser against Switzerland in the quarter-final before converting a penalty kick in the shootout, was among those more than happy at getting some tutelage.
"Get into position where your knees are bent and your arms are almost hanging straight down," Poulter told Saka.
Saka obliged, and sent a towering iron shot down the range. Just look at his face!
"Flushed it," added Poulter. "Pulled left, but flush." Saka said with a grin: "That was the best shot of my life."
Kane and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford appeared to be taking the range session more seriously.
Both players had alignment sticks on the ground.
Whilst midfielder Jude Bellingham, who was missing the ball at the start of the session, appeared to be the most improved.
Declan Rice later said that Lewis Dunk surprised him the most, particularly with his driving.
The challenges also included a long drive and putting competition.
England will play in the semi-final of the European Championship tomorrow against the Netherlands.
Prepare yourselves for some golf-related celebrations if they get through.
