What it means for golf

While Berman's shot was undoubtedly impressive, it's important to note that it's unlikely to have a significant impact on the world of golf. The Zurich Classic's celebrity shootout is a fun and lighthearted event that allows non-golfers to take part in the sport and showcase their skills (or lack thereof).

However, Chris' shot does serve as a reminder of the unique appeal of golf. Unlike other sports where physical prowess and athleticism are the primary factors, golf rewards precision, strategy, and finesse. Even those who may not have the physical attributes associated with traditional athletes can excel at the sport with the right training and practice.

While it may not have a significant impact on the world of golf, it serves as a reminder of the unique appeal of the sport and the importance of having fun on the course.
