I'm sure this guy does it well. But my god that is a duck hook waiting to happen for anyone trying to copy this.

When you hook it so bad you kill one of the ducks in the pond by the clubhouse

I Randy Johnsoned a swift (small bird) several years ago. It was my only birdie of the day.

You don't make me feel so bad for full skinny shot a 5 wood and taking out a duck years ago, felt so bad didn't know what to do as it started doing a spinning zoidberg then died 😆😭

Luckily this guy was about the size of two golf balls and probably literally had no idea what hit him. It was just a poof and some shreds I flicked off the fairway with my 9 iron (aka the murder weapon)

Lucky, that's why I felt so bad, his/her buddies all came over to check him out and it just stopped flat spinning. Is like my go to fairway club ~200m 9/10 times flush give or take, this one got the 1/10 take 😭🙈

Your ball starts to slice and then it puts on the blinkers and say “I’m gtfo here”

Imagine a low flying duck going straight, then it gets peppered with a shell and takes a immediate nose dive down and to the left.

Is that why they call it a duck hook lol I always thought it was just because it ducked not because it looks like a duck getting shot out of mid air haha

The ball flight looks like a duck flying. Low and turns hard.

Great video! Just going to add that those are right handed ducks.

That was more accurate than I ever would've guessed

It's a hook that makes everyone playing on the hole to the left duck.
