Golf can be a frustrating sport, especially when it comes to tricky shots near a body of water. That’s exactly what happened in a recent video posted by Breezygolf’s Instagram page. In the video, a man attempts a flop shot near a lake, but unfortunately, the ball goes straight into the water. Breezygolf‘s caption for the video was “Not what you want to see.” Fans had a lot to say in the comments section, and their reactions were priceless.

Another fan noted that the man was swinging too hard for the short shot, saying, “Why’s he swinging it full speed for a 5 yard shot?!?” Some fans even sympathized with the golfer’s plight, acknowledging that the shot was difficult to make. “In all fairness, chipping from a downhill lie is one of the hardest shots in golf. But that’s a lot of people watching 🤣🤣,” wrote one fan.

The anatomy of a golf flop shot
Despite the funny and lighthearted nature of the comments, some fans were a bit more serious. One fan observed, “Too much wrist action in backswing,” while another lamented, “Nice and easy putting stroke 56. Nothing fancy.” For many golf enthusiasts, it can be frustrating to see someone struggle with a shot that seems simple.
Of course, some fans couldn’t help but make a joke out of the situation. One fan quipped, “30 years of friendship ended there and Bill was never invited again…” Another wrote, “Me if I’m ever in a playoff.. 100%,” One commented, “Not embarrassing at all” acknowledging that the pressure of a high-stakes game can lead to embarrassing mistakes.
In the end, the fan reactions to the Breezygolf video were a mix of humor and empathy. For anyone who’s struggled with a difficult golf shot, it’s easy to relate to the golfer in the video. But for those who haven’t, it’s still entertaining to watch and see the different reactions from fans. As one fan put it, “Now that’s funny!”
