Matt Ginella covers courses, resorts & avid amateurs for Golf Channel’s Morning Drive according to his Twitter bio. He gets to play on courses that most of us could only dream of one day playing. He also got a chance to tee it up with two-time Long Drive champion Tim Burke.

Ginella let Burke, who has a club head speed of around 145 mph – that’s fast for those who don’t know – hit a ball that was teed up in his mouth.
