In the 2004 comedy Napoleon Dynamite, there’s a character named Uncle Rico. Rico can’t quite let go of his past. “Back in ’82, I used to be able to toss a pigskin a quarter of a mile,” he would tell his nephew.
We know that’s not true, but in real life, Andre Burakovsky can basically hit a golf ball to the moon.
Don’t believe us? Check out this video.

In a year old video floating on Tumblr, Burakovsky shows off a golf trick at TopGolf. Burakovsky places a golf ball in his mouth, spits it towards his club, and hits it Happy Gilmore-style (minus the loud whooshing effect) high into the horizon.
This seems unreal and CGI’d, but apparently, it’s something other humans can do too.
Burakovsky spends much of his free time golfing. On Instagram, he’s been captured serveral times playing at golf courses or playing mini golf. He even has special golf pants.
