WATCH: Photographer hit with 145-MPH drive at fantasy golf camp

This poor photographer at a Graeme McDowell fantasy camp got destroyed

As a someone who consumes more golf than I play, this is my worst nightmare. 

Photographer Cy Cyr was shooting at Graeme McDowell’s fantasy golf camp ($5,495 per person) recently in Orlando when an amateur named Angelo nearly ended him with a drive. Poor Cyr went down (slowly) in a heap before showing off the welt he received from the 145-MPH drive.

He’s fine, I think, but I bet that’s the last amateur fantasy camp he shoots for quite a while.

When one of @graeme_mcdowell 's Fantasy Golf Campers rips a 145mph drive on the first tee of the very first hole of first inaugural fantasy weekend into your big belly at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando, you count your lucky stars the Callaway didn't do real damage. Angelo, "The Assassin," felt horrible for the accident and we quickly became friends. Many thanks to GMac and Ritz Orlando golf staff for making sure I was OK. GMac made Angelo hit driver on the range while using Trackman, which is how we knew it was 145mph! I've been a golf photographer for 20 years, had a few close calls, but never seriously hit...until the Assassin came to town. #golf #golfphotography #gmac #ritzcarlton #orlando #florida #usa #assassin
