Recovery shot fail: Sunshine Tour player takes golf ball to the groin

Published

on

Cue the terrible puns: “Sunshine Tour golfer hit with golf ball where the sun don’t shine.”

Playing in the Voldacom Origins, South African Jacques Kruyswijk’s golf ball ricocheted off a tree and hit him in the, well, you get it. He went on to triple bogey the hole, eventually finishing tied for 18th.

Call it the paradox of getting hit in the groin: It’s one of the least amusing things to the victim, but is almost universally amusing to onlookers. Not that it should be. Kruyswijk could have been seriously injured, and he surely experienced a brief world of hurt.

Remarkably, the South African seems to have rallied after the incident, carding five birdies after the incident for an opening-round 69.

After the T-18 finish, the golfer tweeted: “Wasn’t my week to be!! But focused on the positives and will work harder for the upcoming events!!”

Yes. The positives. Like escaping with your manhood intact…

Of course, hindsight is 20/20 and you play to win the game, but having seen the video, would you have attempted the long-range flopshot that went so wrong for Kruyswijk?

And a final question: Would you take a golf ball to the groin to rattle of five birdies and tally a 69?

    As someone who’s best score is a 75 yes, yes I would take a ball to the groin for a 69

    And I would be happy to tell the story.

    Was the story necessary? Yeah. That was awesome. I don’t know how many times a friend has tried a risky shot and I pulled my phone out to record the event and then nothing happened.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.

For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • btyh: “Holy offset.”
  • Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
  • bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing

Published

on

As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.

Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.

Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.
