Anybody who's ever picked up a nine iron knows golf is a tough game chock full of opportunities to make a fool out of yourself. And you know what happens when you make a fool of yourself in the age of the internet; it gets posted on YouTube. Therefore we've made a slideshow of eighteen people, who in no way deserve it, because it ultimately may make you feel a little better about not only your own golf game but more importantly your own life.
15. Clueless Swing Coach
Just about every YouTube video falls into one of two categories; either it's completely stupid or it's an accident that could've been avoided. Guess which one this is.
14. Take My Hand
Back in the mid '90s this clip would've been accompanied by Bob Saget's voice saying, "this isn't what he meant by drinks are on me." And then for some fucking reason a room full of people would've erupted in laughter.
13. Backpack Gone
Please God tell us whatever he needed to get down that mountain was in that bag.
12. Ball Meets Eye
This golfer probably should've seen this coming. But, if he didn't it's gonna be even tougher in the future without his left eye.
11. Ball Meets Balls
Live by the sword, die by the sword. We're pretty sure that applies to this ballsy attempt to get around that tree.
10. Charles Barkley Breaks Club
Sometimes it's hard to believe this guy's a Hall of Fame athlete.
9. Grandma Kills a Bird
Where is PETA to dump blood on this dumbfounded geriatric?
8. Like the Beginning of a Judd Apatow Movie
If real life were like Hollywood this would have been an adorable ice-breaker instead of the beginning of a brain clot followed by a lawsuit.
7. Annika Sorenstam's Brain Fart
Even the world's best have a couple off days. Or couple "off years." What up, Tiger?
6. Sergio Garcia Blames the Club
You'd be pissed off too if you had to play a game for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
5. Watch Out for That Tree!
Further proof that senior citizens shouldn't be allowed to drive.
3. Kid Eats Dirt
It's nice to live in an era where a little kid can't even mess up without being slapped on YouTube under the word 'FAIL,' and then get brutally mocked in the comments section. God bless America.
2. Jean Van de Velde's Collapse
It's a shame that GIFs have to be limited to nine seconds because it just doesn't do this collapse justice. At the 1999 British Open, Jean Van de Velde needed only a double bogey to become the first Frenchman to win the tournament in 92 years. So what happened? He shot a triple bogey on the final hole to force a playoff he eventually lost to American Justin Leonard. Only David Carradine knows what it's like to choke this publicly. Watch it here.
1. Dumb and Dumber
The no shirts with bad tans should be enough, but noooooo, they have to make believe they're in a Jackass movie. Not being able to have kids should be fun.
