Remember when the woman on The Amazing Race tried to catapult a watermelon and it somehow ended up coming straight back and smashing her in the face?

Well, this is from The Big Break, a Golf Channel Reality Show. It is one of their signature challenges where golfers have to break a small pane of glass as quickly as possible. This is a demonstration from retired pro golfer Chi Chi Rodriguez. The episode airs tonight.

It’s actually a well done show, but yeah, if you’re not a golfer I can’t imagine why you would watch it on TV.

I love the reactions of the contestants in the background. Some burst into uncontrollable laughter, some are horrified, and the black guy in the green shirt takes it as an opportunity to grab some girl’s boobs.

It was above par.

(How did the meaning of above par and below par ever get switched?)

It’s a trap!

The driving question is… will he be able sink it with his putter after this?

He seemed to handle it with style. I wouldn’t handle a hit to the reproducer the same way.

Yeah. This is a pretty awesome clip and all, and well worth commenting on, but this.
