Who needs the Distance Report?
Everyone loves to go to the range and/or golf course and swing for the fences and that’s probably not changing anytime soon.
Case in point: Junior golf Lucie Strnadova, better known on Twitter as @LucyGolfer.
In a video posted on Monday night, Lucie is seen belting a driver at her local range, drawing oohs and aahs from pros and amateurs alike.
In less than 24 hours, the video has garnered 388,000 views on Twitter.
Phil Mickelson commented on her video, used the bomb emoji in doing so, and even pointed out how afterwards she gave a thumbs up, one of his patented moves.
One of the more clever reactions came from @Andrew_Dad, who wrote “Mike Trout just called to say Good Lord.” Trout, an outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels, created buzz of his own Sunday by obliterating a ball at Topgolf in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Strnadova, who confirmed on Twitter she turned 10 last Friday, wrote on her website (yes, she has her own website):
“My favorite golf players are Klara Spilkova, Michelle Wie, Rory McIllroy and Matt Kuchar. I hope one day I can be good as they are.”
As a result of her video, she’s now receiving invites to tournaments and being asked to give lessons. One commenter even wondered if her ball had landed yet.
Yep, we all need to keep an eye on Lucie Strnadova.
