    Did you just see Padraig Harrington do the Happy Gilmore?

    Practicing on the range they showed him do the walk up swing and he CRUSHED it both times and looked in perfect balance. They said he bombs it when he does this, and I wonder how many extra yards it adds.

    Is this legal? Can you be moving into the ball when you hit it or do your feet have to be set?

    Just found the answer in this video. Padraig is a lot more athletic than he looks.



    I tried this one time and almost broke an ankle.

    became infinitely more likable when he picked up the pace on his game

    his slow play used to be fukkin brutal....walking off the 150 yards or whatever at brookline in the ryder was pretty much the height of his nonsense

    anyway here's a sick paddy video...id have shit myself if i was up there

    I would love to see some golfer who needed a hole in one to win a tourney bust the happy gilmore drive out....You know where he couldn't hit the green normally but the happy swing made him reach it lol

    I don't think the distance it adds would offset the number of times you'd miss the fairway.

    btw the last time I golfed I did this for my last drive and it was by far my best drive of the day.
