Watch Rory McIlroy’s Golf Lesson to an Irish Rugby Player Go Horribly Wrong

1 minute read

Professional golfer Rory McIlroy shared a hilarious video on Facebook Monday that shows Luke Fitzgerald, who plays for Ireland’s rugby team, swinging—and very much missing. He lets go of the club mid-swing at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, South Wales, leaving a divot for the ages. But what’s almost better than the shot is the laughter that ensues.

The video has been shared more than 5,300 times at the time of publication. And McIlroy did note in the Facebook comments that some members of the team hit good shots. And fortunately for Fitzgerald, he did not seem to be in the middle of an important game when he goofed up that shot.
