WATCH: Long drive champ smacks ball off tee held in golfer's mouth

Tim Burke pummeled a drive out of Matt Ginnella's mouth recently, and it was awesome

I'm not sure whether this is awesome or completely and totally foolish ... or a little bit of both. Matt Ginella, who covers travel for the Golf Channel, recently allowed long drive champion Tim Burke to hit a drive out of his mouth off a tee.

Ginella's reaction says it all. "Oh, ho, ho, oh ... holy!"

I'm not sure I would let someone do this, but I'm glad Ginella did because it sure is fun to watch somebody else hold a tee with a ball on it for somebody like Burke who routinely hits drives 400 yards and won both the 2013 and 2015 World Long Drive Championships.

When a two-time Long Drive Champion-with a club-head speed of 154mph-promises he'll miss...my face. 😳🙈🎯 @timburkegolf @alexup @filipecpb #ginellasjourneys #linksoul
