In their defense (LPGA), PGA players like Bubba have a lot more money to play around with. He can afford to do stuff like this and fail. Most LPGA players are barely making ends meet. 

Ohhhhh come on now Scott....money isn’t the reason we don’t see this on the LPGA. 😄

I'm sure I could shank it through that gap while trying to go down the actual fairway! Let's see Bubba do that!

Every once in a while, I say it is fun to see such a risk taker.  And, Bubba seems to have fun as well.

 

I have NEVER seen Bubba look as if he's having fun on a golf course. He's made a whole lot of ad videos but as for having fun on a golf course, you must be joking. He's one of the most sour, negative players out there, if not the most horrible.

I've seen Bubba hit a drive like that in person. It was at the WGC Bridgestone when it was still at Firestone CC in Akron. He teed of on a dogleg right 470 yard par 4, the first couple hundred yards were just slightly uphill, and then turned right and downhill, across a pond to the green. At the inside corner of the dogleg is a grove of huge oaks that are 80 feet tall, at least! Bubba blasted his Driver at least 50 feet over the tops of them with his patented fade/slice.

He seemed unhappy with the shot, so I hustled down there with the rest of the gallery, and saw that his ball was on the left side of the fairway, with about a 100 yard flip wedge to the green. I can only surmise that he hope the shot wouldn't fade that much, since if it faded further it might have wound up in the rough. And you do not want to be in the rough at Firestone!
