Golfer pranks beginner about to sink his first-ever eagle putt

The first time you ever stand over an eagle putt, you’re a mess. You are on the cusp of putting two circles on the card.

You’ve got to get the ball to the hole. You should never leave an eagle putt short.

And then when the ball disappears? Pure joy.

Unfortunately, this golfer was denied that moment of glee, by his friend of all people. An anonymous golfer uploaded a video to YouTube of what is supposedly his friend’s first eagle putt. The guy strikes the putt and it appears headed for the bottom of the cup — that is, until the final foot when the cameraman uses his foot to kick the ball off line.

The guy putting for eagle has the natural reaction, yelling, “Noooooo!” and appeared ready to rush his purported friend.

For the record, we’re going to give the guy the eagle.
