Nothing Warms My Heart Like Watching The Top Golfers In The World Freak Out Over Shots Like This

As a very, very amateur golfer this is what I want to see. Yeah, yeah, it's awesome to see a guy go out and shoot a 59. But I want this as much as anything else. I want to see Wyndham Clark attempt a slap shot because it's the only way to get out of the rough - well at least attempt to get out of the rough. I want to see him lose his mind because he has to attempt to do it again and fear snapping his ankle. If you play enough golf, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Just looking at the ball going, this is it. This is how I stop playing golf. I'm snapping my wrist or ankle on this tree root or what have you. 

I know it's the rough, but you gotta move it to everyone's level. For some of us the local track's rough feels like Royal Liverpool. For some of us you sit there and lose your mind knowing you have to try to choke down on a 60 and have no shot of hitting the ball 10 yards. Combine that with the OB on 18 and this is what I want. I want chaos. I want these guys to feel like they have to miss 100 yards left on 18 or start losing their mind like Clark did after this shot. Just for that moment, the one brief moment, knowing we're playing the same, beautifully dumb sport.
