WATCH: Joaquin Niemann shares wholesome moment with dad as the LIV Golfer helps fix his senior’s golf swing
Joaquin Niemann recently shared a wholesome story about how he fixed his dad's golf swing. He revealed that this was the only time when his old man listened to his suggestion.
Niemann, a two-time champion on LIV Golf circuit is not the only athlete from his family. His mother Pamela has played for Chile's national hockey team and his father Jorge Niemann has been a basketball player. However, this time the sport was golf and for that, he needed his son's advice to correct his swing.
On Thursday, Juen 27, Niemann's team Torque GC shared a reel on Instagram, where the 25-year-old Chilean golfer shared an interesting story about his dad.
"I was watching my dad hitting balls on the range and he was not doing great," he revealed. "There's nothing... there's not much I could tell him but I even gave him a few advice. He was aiming too far right going on top. I told him to hit a little bit farther left kind of taking a little bit more outside."
"He's not a good listener, but for the first time he listened to me and he hit a nice beautiful drawn the first piece so I'm proud of that," he added.
