Watch: Fire Ball Golf Trick Shot Instantaneously Backfires, Sets Golfer Ablaze

The Internet is filled with eye-popping trick shots. There was the time a guy cranked a golf ball off of a moving golf cart, or the real-world examples of pros' best golf shots of all time.

There were several outstanding issues with this attempt, but what doomed the shot from the start was that the ball appeared to be on the ground and not the tee. That creates more of an opportunity for the golfer to hit dirt and set shit on fire, which he does.

(Also: He’s swinging in sandals. It’s time for a gear upgrade.)

Luckily for the gentleman in this clip, he decided to attempt this shot surrounded by water so he didn’t have to endure the fire for very long. Hopefully, he made it out unscathed.
