Sergio Garcia is going above and beyond to get the perfect golf shot — 12 feet above, that is.
At Sunday's Arnold Palmer Invitational, the golfer was faced with quite the conundrum when he found his golf ball up a tree. But that didn't stop the Spaniard from completing the hole. Garcia simply shimmied up a tree to make his 10th-hole shot.
And while most golfers prefer their game to be on the green, Garcia was perfectly at home among the branches, where he not only swung backwards, he did it all one-handed.
Hey caddy, grab the iron that works best on bark, will ya?
