WATCH: Tommy Fleetwood attempts a hole-in-one from 30,000 feet from a cargo plane
Tommy Fleetwood recently attempted to make a stunning ace from a cargo plane. The English professional golfer was trying to do something out of the box at Dubai Creek Club from above 30,000 feet.
Fleetwood stylishly hit the golf ball from the plane. Shortly after, a person with a parachute followed the ball, tracking its descent from the plane to the golf course hole, in an attempt to check if the ball landed inside.
DP World Tour took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote:
“Attempting a hole-in-one...from 30,000ft?? 😱”
It is pertinent to note that in the above video, Tommy Fleetwood is not actually making a hole-in-one shot and iy is reportedly an edited post. Nonetheless, the way Fleetwood performed it makes it a great video.
