Andy Sullivan is one of the most charismatic regulars on the European Tour, and a pretty dang good golfer as well. In the latest edition of their #ChasetheAce video series, the European Tour gave Sullivan 500 chances to hit a hole-in-one.
The setting was the London Golf Club. Sullivan would take on a 171-yard par 3, and his club of choice for the task was a 7-iron.
The premise of the video is great, but what makes the whole video work is Sullivan. He’s hilarious. He chastises himself as a “fat [expletive]”, curses regularly, drops to his knees when a shot doesn’t go his way. This is man we can truly root for.
Here’s his quest:
Yes. The man did it. His final stats, via The European Tour:
- 230 shots
- 217 Greens in Regulation (94%)
- 90 shots within 10ft (39%)
- 42 shots within 5ft (18%)
- 8 balls in the bunker (3%)
- 14.8 ft average proximity
- 1 hole-in-one
