VIDEO: Watch this hilarious driving range swing

Everyone has seen bad golf swings on the driving range, but this one might be the all-time leader in the clubhouse. Earlier in the week this video of some poor fellow failing spectacularly at pounding a fairway wood went viral on Twitter, and we can't stop watching it.

You have to give this guy an 'A' for effort, but that's about where the accolades end. Let's dive a little deeper.

  1. It looks like he's at his local Top Golf location, which right away grabs our attention (love us some TG.) The problem, of course, is that you only need to slap a short iron out into a TopGolf range to score any points. So he's obviously showing off for someone.
  2. The split-hand grip suggests our Driving Range Hero once played baseball. However, his complete ineptitude at a proper weight shift squashes that theory.
  3. He fell into that stall divider really freakin' hard.

Keep at it, sir. You'll get the golf swing figured out eventually. Or not.
