Short Par 4 The Magazine Issue #2 October 2020 | Page 39

So what does all this have to do with a golf magazine ? Well after years of getting his body beaten up on the board Steel has turned to golf for a new found passion . He ’ s no stranger to golf , the lafferty boys are well known for their intense family rivalry when it comes to golf , according to Steel though , they would rip each other apart in any sports as any good well balanced family would do ( including my own , i got my as whipped by my brothers on the daily )

But to watch him play golf is something different . I ’ ve played golf my whole life , spending hundreds if not thousands of hours perfecting my game over the last 20 odd years . I got to play with Steel a couple of times during the last year and let me tell you the dude drops BOMBS !!!!! I ’ m not talking the holy shit longest guy at your club , or in your foursome long . I ' m talking long long , like Dechambeau long .

Not to long ago , we played with a group of tour players known for their length and they didnt sniff his ball . For an athlete of his size , probably 5 ’ 6 5 ’ 7 150 lbs , it ’ s un heard of to generate such speed .
