This Guy Let a Golfer Tee Off His What?!

by L. Turner

Just another day on the links, right? Hanging out with your friends, yukking. Then an idea comes to you: This is a snoozefest, and it's high time someone shot a golf ball off of my crotch. This is an approximation of the thought process of Dallas Stars player Tyler Seguin, who let a golfer tee off his penis at a charity tournament, The Fourth Period, held Thursday.

Seguin appears to have emerged from the incident unscathed. He posted a video on Instagram captioned thusly:

Didn't think this would be happening at my first golf tourny (sic). Thank god he was a pro.

In the video below, Seguin seems remarkably calm despite what's about to go down. When all's said and done and the club has been swung, Seguin half-yelps: "Oh, it tickled!" He seems almost delighted.

Despite his, well, vulnerable position in the video, Seguin is a stand-up guy. The tournament is held every year and "pairs sporting events with charitable causes." This year Seguin was selected to host, and the tournament benefitted a charity set up to assist Seguin's childhood friend Derrek Moseychuk, who was injured in a car accident in 2012 and is now quadriplegic.

In the Instagram post, Seguin thanked the more than 150 people who showed up to the tournament and said he'd had an "awesome day," perhaps partly because his groin area escaped unscathed apart from a little tickling.

Seguin is Canadian, but no word yet on whether that had an impact in his desire to try this particular experiment. He is definitely used to deftly hitting small objects with large sticks, so perhaps that played a role. Seguin appeared to have thought about the experiment for at least a short period of time, because an elaborate tape-like apparatus secured the tee to the front of his shorts. Thought: Seguin probably would've preferred to undergo this experiment wearing hockey equipment.

I estimate this tapey apparatus took at least 20 minutes to assemble and properly install atop Seguin's groin. That is enough time to evaluate whether trusting a golfer to launch a ball off of your penis is a good idea. Seguin chose to go one route, boldly and unflinching; in a similar situation, it is conceivable that some men might choose another. Lesser men, perhaps.

Without further ado, here is the video of displaying Seguin's daring experiment. I wouldn't recommend trying this at home, or other places, really.
