David Lipsky, a professional golfer who is presently competing in the Memorial Tournament, has shared an odd anecdote about his daring attitude. Lipsky, known for his boldness on and off the golf course, recalled a remarkable experience with "snake liquor."

Following a good second-round 69 that tied Lipsky for third place with Patrick Cantlay, the 34-year-old golfer opened up to the media about his experiences as a tour professional. Lipsky, who has played on the PGA Tour, Korn Ferry Tour, DP World Tour, and Asian Tour, likes sampling food from other cultures.

Lipsky, who hails from a multi-ethnic family and comes from a restaurant family, explained how his upbringing influences his choices when it comes to trying new things.

"I'm from a multi-ethnic background. My whole family's in the restaurant business," said Lipsky when asked about his food adventures. "I think that leads a lot to why I make the choices I do. I don't shy away from too much. There are a few things, but no, not too much."

Lipsky then described a particularly noteworthy encounter he had while in Vietnam.

"I remember playing in Vietnam and I had snake liquor from a restaurant," he said. "There's a snake at the bottom of this barrel and that was it. They were distilling some alcohol and the owner gave us a couple of shots. It was terrible. But I still took it."

While Lipsky's bravery in trying the snake liquor demonstrated his adventurous attitude, the flavor did not live up to his expectations. Nonetheless, his openness to accept new experiences reflects his open-minded attitude on and off the golf course.
