Golf, if you’ve played it, can be a really silly and stupid game. One moment you can have everything figured out and the next you might be pondering throwing your entire bag of clubs into a pond and picking up tennis, instead.
Or maybe that’s just me.
But what happened during the first round of the PGA Tour’s 3M Classic today in Minnesota backs up my claim for how silly and stupid this game can be.
Sang-Moon Bae made a par on the par-5 18th hole, which doesn’t seem all that impressive. But then you look into how he made that par and wow, this is insane: Tee shot finds the water so he takes a drop. Third shot finds the water, so he takes another drop. Then he drains a shot from 250 yards out for par.
Ho. Hum.
I mean, come on!
Bae is used to sinking some long shots, as he drained a 117-foot eagle putt last year at the BMW Championship.
But yeah, that par is one for the ages.
