If you have ever seen a professional golfer in action then you know that they are very much Not Like Us.
We civilians only scratch the surface of skill that they have in the beautiful game and that is evidenced over and over and over and over.
One way that this proves itself is in accuracy and holing out. Doing that is obviously difficult for people of any skill level, but that it is even tough for pros shows how impossible it is for the average joes. Think of just chipping in or dare I say imagine an ace.
RBC Heritage winner Justin Thomas was a guest on the latest episode of Pardon My Take and said something that really brought this subject to light. After talking about how many tracks he holds the course record on – the number is nine which is unbelievable – Thomas was asked how many aces he has had in his life.
“25.”
TWENTY FIVE! I SAID TWENTY FIVE!
This is impossible to believe. I mean, I am not calling him a liar. But holy smokes.
JT tried to play this off humbly (how can you even do that lol) but was also asked for his favorite of them. Clearly this was a difficult question given how many there were to choose from.
Thomas said his favorite ace came in the final round of the 2019 Masters.
Everything about the sequence of that saga was absurd. Professional golfers simply are not like us.
