It is not often that the golf world sees an extraordinary shot! Maybe this was the reason that prompted Tommy Fleetwood to do what he did. No, we are not talking about his sensational win at the Dubai Invitational 2024. But his latest attempt at glory might register higher than his win in Dubai.
However, the final verdict is always delivered by the golf fans. So what is the ruckus all about? Well, it involves the English golfer and a promotional piece for Dubai Creek Golf Club. In a recent post shared on X, the 33-year-old attempted a hole-in-one from a whopping 30,000 feet!
