Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago

I think it's cool he finished the hole with each shot. He's got game around and on the greens.

Always fun to watch these guys do ridiculous shit, but this is the most clickbait-y title I've seen on anything in a LONG time.

[u/Emerald_Rain4]

Used to do that in tiger woods 04 to get double eagles and rack up the $$$$

"That's the shortest I can hit that"

Oh what a struggle that must be lol.

[u/chumbomalone]

220 mph ball speed. Fuck outta here. That’s absurd.

[u/Gromby]

it took him way too many balls to get one on the green, clearly /r/golf could do it with the first one, then proceed to walk up and 5 putt

[u/Username_Used]

Too bad he can't out drive the collective r/golf

[u/coverdown_1]

Wish I were playing behind him with a ball retriever. That’s at least 7 volviks within reach
