Zion Williamson is too strong for golf, snaps clubhead with ease during Pelicans outing
Zion Williamson may be a generational talent on the basketball court.
After what he did on Friday, though, it’s probably safe to say his talents don’t translate to the golf course.
The reigning No. 1 overall draft pick hit the course on Friday with other members of the Pelicans for an annual golf outing with elite season ticket holders and certain corporate partners. As he went to tee off with an iron on one of the holes, however, Williamson swung just a bit too hard.
The clubhead went flying down the fairway.
“He literally broke the club!”
Grown. Man. Strength. 💪@Zionwilliamson pic.twitter.com/uRd3cV6WX6— New Orleans Pelicans (@PelicansNBA) September 13, 2019
Despite the blunder, Williamson still received plenty of credit and support for his swing on social media.
Form is good tho... https://t.co/55mndoS5Yc

And, "The Legend Continues"... Pretty clear our guys Jason Sumerlin and @Zionwilliamson have to scale back the upper body work. https://t.co/3HGQlC6qpR

Let’s not compare Zion’s swing to Chuck’s 😂

His swing, though, isn’t the worst on the team. That honor goes to fellow rookie Jaxson Hayes.
“I’m too tall” 😂
As we all can relate, it’s the club’s fault @hayes_jaxson pic.twitter.com/QCzMRWbrj1— New Orleans Pelicans (@PelicansNBA) September 13, 2019
Interesting approach from @hayes_jaxson, meanwhile how smooth is @FWJackson15? 😦 pic.twitter.com/fK0otsHGRC
