Michael Jordan once hit an absolute dart on No. 17 at TPC Sawgrass

Michael Jordan at the peak of his powers was something to watch. The fluidity. The grace. The trash talking. And we're just talking about his Airness on the golf course.
With a handicap index hovering around scratch for decades, Jordan has hit countless good shots. The dude can play. And he's not just playing for lunch money these days at his home course Grove XIII. But we want to focus on a shot MJ hit a long time ago on one of the most famous short holes in the country.
We're not sure the year or the situation—it seems like Jordan was part of a Players Championship pro-am—at TPC Sawgrass, but we know plenty of PGA Tour guys who would have paid good money to hit a shot like this on the famed par-3 17th. It also sounds like his Airness knew a great shot was coming. "If I hit this one in the hole, you guys would be really loving this, wouldn't you?" Jordan says as he sets up before hitting an absolute dart. Check it out:
Just flying it right at the stick and spinning it to within a few feet on one of the most intimidating holes in golf. What a stud. Oh, and he was pretty decent at basketball as well.
