Now an expert has explained the reason behind the incident that has been described as a “golfer’s worst nightmare”. And it has come at just the perfect time for the competitors taking part in this weekend’s 2023 Ironman Tournament at Gilbert Plains in Canada.Back in the 2021 edition, a clip first went viral after one of the wildest putting attempts ever.The amateur golfer took his swing left-handed and sent the ball creeping straight towards the whole on the 16th.A friend watching one declared “this is good, Doug” while another claimed he “liked this one” as he appeared to be on course for a 20-yard putt. However, about an inch from dropping, the ball suddenly darted right before rolling down a slope and ending up about 20 yards away as the men in the video creamed in disbelief.“What, what, what, what, whaaaattt, what,” screamed one as another yelped: “There’s no chance.” Ahead of this week’s showpiece, the video has found itself doing the rounds again online.
