And the day has finally arrived. After weeks of practicing and correcting her techniques, which included special lessons from Martha Foyer Faulconer, Caitlin Clark took the golf course to participate in The Annika today. While she had previously mentioned her tryst with golf as a child, her hard work did not seem to pay off at one moment, as she miscued a tee. An interesting way to pay back the injured fans saw the Indiana Fever star promising her worn Nikes that had all the fans asking the ROTY to hit them.

Clark, during one of her shots, mishit the ball which instead of projecting on the front, went towards her left side. While the fans did save themselves, they also saw that maybe the ‘generational talent’ still needs to polish her skills. As an act of apology, Clark, according to journalist Andy Froemel, enunciated, “I hit you I might have to give you something special, maybe my shoes.”

Seeing the chance of a special gift from the No. 22, now each and every fan wanted her to misdirect a shot toward them, albeit unintentionally. And soon there were calls of “Please hit me, Caitlin, please hit me.”

Plus, another reason to excuse the 22-year-old is that it was her first tee box at the Pelican. And with time, she showed a better flair in her game. Meanwhile, anyone would want to have a pair of shoes from Clark. The Nike endorser has sported the custom Nike Infinity Tour 2 shoes with a pink upper and an all-gold outsole. It also has 6 spikes for a high level of traction. Therefore, in case anyone gets the shoes, they will be reminiscing about the moment for their entire life. Meanwhile, Clark did oblige one fan after she was done with a shot.

On ninth par 3, when Clark missed one in the crowd, the guard with leading assists in the W came forward to sign a ball for her fan. “Thanks for the good kick, whoever I hit,” the ROTY was seen exclaiming while signing the ball and giving it to the caddie, who ultimately passed the ball to the fan.

Meanwhile, at that time, there were cheers from other fans that they too got hit, subtly requesting a signed ball. As for Clark, while she is a 16 handicap, who on Tuesday had enumerated “If I can get in the 80s, I’m lucky, but usually I’m just trying to break 100,” can one stop the former NCAA Queen from impressing all?

Caitlin Clark manages to prove her golfing mettle

As the Des Moines born hit a long putt at the fifth, she celebrated in her own way by doing a fist pump. To watch Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam play alongside Clark, who has been compared to Tiger Woods in the past, 15 girls from the LPGA junior program were present to cheer for them.

Moreover, she had one hole, one par as she played the first nine in a foursome with Korda. It is expected that she will be participating in the back nine alongside Sorenstam. Ready to take one on herself, while playing at the sixth, Clark received special requests from one of her admirers. “Get it in the hole, kid!” To which, she had a unique reaction which showed that though she is quite competitive, but doesn’t spare a chance to crack up her fans. “Don’t get your hopes up,” Clark quipped.

Meanwhile, viewers would be waiting for more highlights and snaps from the event which will soon be making their way to the Golf Channel. Hopefully, her months of practice will end in the Iowa-alum proving her talent.
