7:40 I appreciate you making him point at boxes that aren’t there!

[pharmeee]

2:04 is one of the most gorgeous looking and sounding drives I've ever seen

[lukacerjak]

4:20
*hits almost a stinger that rolls forever
commentator: "big high towering fade"

[ctcv-tokq]

I could watch Rory hit golf balls all day long. I think he has the smoothest, prettiest swing in golf.

[aaronjoyce]

1:25 Crazy the distance Rahm got with a relatively short backswing

[amanithiongowanyoike]

Having the honour of seeing Rory drive is truly remarkable

At high elevation on Santana golf course in Spain I hit a 314 yard green with a 5 wood off the tee. That's still the best shot I've ever done 15 years later haha

[danimals]

What more impressive is the camera work and how the ball is pretty much always in the frame

[themechanic]

Soon pros will only need three clubs. A driver, a wedge and a putter.

[michaelk]

Bubba's big fade\slice and the way he steps out of it is still amazing to watch every time.

[transcendentstudios]

Wish the fairways at my club would give me 70 yards of run, I need it

[foxtrotzulualpha]

For years I tried building clubhead speed with everything except my wrists. With my driver, I went from 105 mph (240-250 yrds.) to 115 mph (305 yrds.) by simply working on releasing the club at impact faster by flipping my wrist. I have always had degenerative disk disease and spinal stenosis in my back.

[kevinglander]

I love hearing people from the UK saying oh that's miles down there...

[martinbaxter]

Rahm doing it with a Yellow Pages in his back pocket too !!

[oggyninja]

Thomas P once gave me his ball what a legend!!!

[segorohermanto]

[Ahhmaddd]

[glennwatson]

At this point if you DON'T show the flight of the ball with the virtual line then I won't watch.
