Another Reason Why "Golf is a Good Run Wasted!!"

Pro golfer Kevin Na shoots a 16 ... on one hole!

Any weekend golfer is familiar with a “snowman,” the term used for scoring an “8” on a hole.
But what do you call it when you card a 16? A double snowman?
Well, for weekend golfers it rarely gets to that point because a compassionate playing partner usually allows the hacker to pick up his ball before it reaches double digits.
Such is not the case on the PGA Tour.
Kevin Na, playing in the Texas Open, recorded a tour-record 16 on the Par-4 ninth hole at the TPC San Antonio on Thursday. Amazingly, he shot a 4-under-par 64 on the other 17 holes, but his meltdown on No. 9 was epic.
Even the announcers had a hard time keeping track of his shots, at one point saying, “I’m not even sure what stroke he’s playing.”
