SPIDERMAN HAS GAME: Tom Holland Reveals His Love For Golf

We often talk about celebrities and other athletes that have a love for golf and are around the game often. But this celebrity golfer is special because he may be the highest rising actor in the country.

That’s right, your friendly neighborhood Spiderman could be coming to your local golf course soon. In a recent interview, popular Spiderman actor Tom Holland revealed that he’s a huge fan of the game of golf. He says in his interview with GQ that his father taught him the game at a young age and then his love for the sport just grew from there.

Holland seems to be a pretty good player too as GQ’s Zach Baron described after playing a round with him. “He drives the ball about 300. His go-to shot is a high draw. His swing is compact and athletic and startlingly loud when he makes contact with the ball.” While Baron doesn’t go into what Holland’s handicap is, anyone, hitting the ball accurately 300 yards down the course is bound to be at least an above-average player.

It might surprise some people that someone as big as Holland and as young as him would be interested in the game of golf but it honestly makes a lot of sense. It makes even more sense when you take into account what Baron wrote about how the calm, serene hobby of golf really meshes with Holland’s preferred personality of staying out of the limelight.

And because he doesn’t really like the publicity that comes with being a famous actor, I don’t think we’ll be seeing him in any amateur or professional events anytime soon. We all know that guys like Tony Romo and Stephen Curry have received sponsor exemptions in the past two years to play professional events and Holland seems as though he could be on the same level but it golf seems like more of a hobby than a competition for Holland.

So while it would be pretty awesome to see this generation’s Spiderman teeing up next to someone next to Tiger Woods, don’t hold your breath. Perhaps when he’s done with his day job of saving the world, Holland will jump onto the golfing scene radar.
