Padraig Harrington Gets in on the Trick Shot Game

Yes, this is professional golfer, Padraig Harrington, hitting golf balls inside his home into what appears to be some curtains hanging from a two by four beam.

And yes, this is also professional golfer, Padraig Harrington, using some kind of make-shift swing aid in between his forearms and wrapped around his hands.

And, finally, yes, this is professional golfer, Padraig Harrington, hitting the ball through the netting, up into a light fixture, catching said ball on a single bounce, and nonchalantly placing the ball back on the tee.

On Padraig’s Twitter account, he admits to actually breaking three windows last year. So now he uses gymnastic pads to protect the lower half of the windows.

@Paceygolf I broke 3windows last year. That's why the gymnastic pads are blocking the window now.

You also might notice the holes in the ceiling.  These marks, again according to Padraig, are from taking Happy Gilmore swings during speed training.  WHAT?!?

@NishAllDay yes they are holes in the roof, from doing happy gilmores during speed training.
