You have to see what happened with Bubba Watson’s half-court shot

Published

on

In the grand tradition of professional golfers attempting shots (with golf clubs and balls or otherwise) at professional sporting events, Bubba Watson’s half-court shot at the Orlando Magic game deserves a special place.

Watson, native Floridian that he is, is a big supporter of the Magic, and seemed to relish the opportunity to sink the half-courter. The golfer’s half-court heave did everything but go in the hoop, ending up in a place more improbable than the bottom of the net: wedged between the hoop and backboard.

Check out the video.

Seriously, have you ever seen a shot from straightaway end up wedges there? From a side angle, occasionally, sure, but from straight on? Crazy stuff.

Watson is also a feature in the social space today for being duped by Mark Wahlberg in an episode of Wahlbergers. Wahlberg bets Watson a considerable sum (to be donated to Bubba’s charity, of course) dependent on an interesting stipulation in their golf match. Here’s a snippet from the episode below.

Hopefully the long-hitter’s luck is better next week at Augusta National, when he begins his quest for a third green jacket.

    You titled the article – “You have to see what happened with Bubba Watson’s half court shot”.

    Then you proceeded to tell what happened to Bubba Watson’s half court shot in the paragraph leading up to the video.

    Bubba could end world hunger and cure AIDS and I still wouldn’t like him.

      Haters gonna hate. Bubba has two green jackets and he young enough to win a lot more.

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.
