(Not) One of us!

Cameron Smith absolutely FLUSHES shot off cart path during practice round, is not one of us

September 12, 2024

Regardless of how you feel or don't feel about LIV Golf, I think we can all agree it's a damn shame that we don't get to see Cameron Smith compete against the world's best as often as we'd like to. The 31-year-old Aussie, still smack dab in the prime of his career, will be sorely missed from the Presidents Cup in two weeks time, by both fans and the International squad itself.

Unfortunately, that's just where we're at right now - with Smith hitting preposterous, other-worldly shots in LIV practice rounds in front of exactly zero fans. And no, that's not a pot shot at LIV - the tour literally does not allow spectators at practice rounds.

Luckily, golf coach Ryan Moque was on hand at Bolingbrook Golf Club on Wednesday and whipped his phone out just in time to capture the former Open winner hit what can only be described as maybe the most flush shot ever hit off a cart path. This sounds better than most players shots off a perfect plot of turf:

Seriously, are we sure that's even a cart path? That was absolutely perfect contact. How about this dime-sized "divot":

Silly stuff. Moque was also quick to share a photo of the damage to Smith's 6-iron, if you can even call it that:

These guys are just built different.
