“Life is like golf. It’s not easy. But it’s beautiful,” he expressed. Khaled then asked the cameraman to give a peek at the golf course to the viewers. As the camera panned back to him, he swung his club for a decent hit, at which the video comes to an end.

The $75 million-worth singer-rapper captioned the video on similar lines. He quoted his words in the caption, stating, “life is like golf it’s not easy, but golf and life is beautiful !” He also posted the hashtag #GODDID as a promotion for his latest album release. The song opened up to tremendous acclaim upon release, listed at No. 1 on Billboard’s latest chart.

But among all the philosophical words, how did DJ Khaled fare on his golf swing? Let’s find out.

How was DJ Khaled’s golf swing?

While Khaled plays golf occasionally, he has never revealed his golf handicap to the public. Unfortunately, the recent clip of Khaled didn’t show where the ball landed or its distance traveled.

However, it provided a good look at Khaled’s golf swing. While he’s no professional, the “Popstar” singer maintained a decent starting position before releasing the trigger to hit the shot. But his golf swing was much slower than expected, which would have caused the ball to drop short.

However, it’s nothing to complain about. As long as Khaled is happy on the course.
