Making the golf ball reach its destination becomes a herculean task when hurdles like dessert, trees, or water bodies are in the way. And facing a similar problem on the course was PGA Tour pro Adam Hadwin, playing at TPC Twin Cities. His first day turned out to be a disaster when an unfortunate shot landed his ball in a lake on the course.
The PGA Tour has shared a short video from TPC today where Hadwin made a miscalculated shot on the green and which landed his ball in the waterbody.

The PGA Tour also sympathized with the golfer through their Instagram post. Though it was a grave error on Hadwin’s part, he did not express any sort of reaction to the debacle. Hadwin is otherwise a good player and has fared well in this season of the tournaments. However, fans were quick to use this opportunity to react to the unfortunate incident.

One fan suggested making the golf course more interactive:
