Attractive woman. Beer can. Golf ball. What could go wrong?

By Jay Busbee

Okay, remember that video from a few months back of John Daly hitting a tee shot off a beer can? Awesome, right? Well, hold onto your six-packs, friends, because we've got someone who's just ratcheted up the degree of difficulty. Hitting off a beer can on the ground is child's play; how about taking a shot at a beer can in the air?

Fake? Probably, though it's good work. (Isn't it a shame we're so cynical these days? Though you do have to wonder about the prominent product placement of that beer can ... ) Still, if it was real, I'd have to have consumed the contents of that dented beer can and several others before it to stand that close to someone teeing off with a driver. Beer cans aren't the only things that collapse upon impact from a Titleist.

Hat tip to @darrenrovell1 and @briangainor for the find.

    The guy is standing to the side holding his family jewels yet leaves his face unprotected... I assume the wet trail on the sidewalk is from the guy pissin' himself as he walks out to take his spot ??? LOL

    Yeah sorry no. Would you hold that bottle even if Tiger Woods was the one about to hit the ball?

    I myself am glad she didn't have a natural slice...She would have taken his nuts off.

    I wouldn't say ZERO CHANCE... 0.00001% chance that it might be real. :) Pretty cool viral ad if that's the case though. :)

    The guy holding the can has nothing in his left hand at first, then she hits the ball/can, he raises his hands to clap, the voilah..hes holding the same bottle in left hand. I would gues hes holding it, they editing it out with some small animation of it flying, then he swithes hands in the air while viewer distracted. Watch again.

    He drops the original can behind him then they search for an already dented can - fake.

    LOL! I'm not so sure of it being a fake... First off, the guy does indeed have a second bottle (can) in his right hand (look close, you see it near the beginning of the clip and can see it while he protects himself). Second, the ball is flying with a slice, you can see it curving just as it is hitting the can. The tuff of dirt, and the tee flying after the strike look pretty real as well. Lots of other vids out there of people doing stuff more insane than standing infront of a weak drive as well.
    Don't be so quick to call it a fake just cause you can't hit a 40 yard wide fairway with your drive.

    Obviously fake, if you look carefully the bottle switches hands at first its in his left then it pops into his right.

    Look closely at the bottom right of the screen when she hits the ball.....it's not the dirt bouncing around.

    Took a few times watching it but it's clearly fake the more you watch. First if you watch frame by frame the golf ball approaching the can, it should impact on the lower corner, not in the middle as the dented can shows. Second the ball is actually on a downward trajectory in the frame immediately before it strikes the can, this indicates it has a low velocity. Third immediately after the can is "struck" it is completely missing from the next frame, there is no motion blur or anything. Unfortunately if it were hit by a golf ball, and assuming the golf ball came to a dead stop and transfered all of its energy to the larger object with more surface area... the can would still be travelling much slower than the golf ball. So the fact that it is missing altogether is very questionable.
    The most obvious part being near the end, when he has nothing in either hand (because it has been edited out), then he claps, his hands go above the camera, and when he returns his hands to his sides a blue can magically appears in his hand. (its not there one frame, but is the next).
    Overall not a bad editing job, and the shaky camera helps pull off the illusion, if it were tripod mounted, it'd be so fake as to not even be funny.

    why's everyone acting like this is impossible. Impossible means there's no possible way for it to happen and can never happen. This, can happen. It may be luck. I'm not saying its real or fake. There's a chance it could be real, but more likely fake. So I'm neutral on this. I just don't like it when people comment on these stunts saying it can NEVER HAPPEN when it can. totally possible.
