Charley Hull has been captured once again at the range! Was the LPGA Tour star performing another John Daly-esque task at the Dundonald Links? Well, this time the 2-time LPGA Tour winner showed a unique skill set, and that too with just one hand. Undoubtedly, Hull can juggle many things in her hand, whether it is signing her fan autograph, smoking, or using her phone.
This time, too, the phone was in the picture. The NUCLR Golf posted the Kettering native talking on her phone while single-handedly draining the putts. Skysports reporter Ali Hampson Silk shared the original post on X, where she praised the LPGA Tour pro and said, “Charley Hull is an icon.”
The 28-year-old is surely an inspiring figure in the golf world and her 1-hand putt may inspire many more.

At the 2024 Summer Olympics, Charley Hull was paired with her best buddy, Georgia Hall, to represent the Great Britain. The two golfers fought tooth and nail but both sat at a suitable T27 and T36, respectively. It would have been the first medal for Hull but she was short of her A-game to win any. But this fan’s comment was not about her score but about talking and simultaneously putting. They jokingly said, “That wouldn’t be allowed at the Olympics!!” Well, it is not allowed at the AIG Women’s Open either, but only on range.
Although Hull still struggles with her putter, she has been ranked 142 on the LPGA Tour’s putting average, which has been the core reason the Kettering native has not won an event on the LPGA Tour since 2022 The Ascendant LPGA benefiting Volunteers of America. Despite that, this viewer praised the star for her incredible skills. They exclaimed, “Putts better than I do with my full concentration.” While one fan wanted Hull to end her winless drought of two years. They said, “She needs to win soon with all this publicity.”
On the offsite, one fan confessed that they adored her and her game. They said, “I love her.” And if Charley Hull had not been declared the star in the golf world, she was now. This user used only one word to express their admiration for Hull. They said Hull was an “icon” in today’s women’s golf.

But this time, Hull was not doing anything relatively wrong and there wouldn’t be any criticism, right? Wrong!

This one golf enthusiast said, “Her lack of professionalism is the only thing holding her back.” But on the other hand, a user proclaimed that they did not want to see any Hull update. They commented, “Who gives a f*ck?.”
