VIDEO: Even Shooter McGavin would be impressed with Jordan Spieth’s Happy Gilmore drive

Go to your home ball

Doing the Happy Gilmore drive, feeling the flow.

Only in his wildest dreams would Jordan Spieth have envisaged the year he’s just had.

Two major victories (and very nearly three), shedloads of cash made and a place at the summit of the world golf rankings, 2015 hasn’t been all that bad for the 22-year old.

He topped everything he’s achieved this year to date with a textbook Happy Gilmore drive at the very first tee at a pro-am in Florida yesterday, however.

Granted, there was a bit of a pause before he made a connection with the ball, but it was still one hell of an effort.

Needless to say, if he kept that up for the day he would eat have eaten pieces of shit like the other competitors for breakfast.
