2016By Ken Fang on

Viewers who watch Golf Channel’s Morning Drive are aware of Matt Ginella‘s work as he covers travel and reporting on various resorts and courses for the program.

Golf fans know of Tim Burke, the two-time Long Drive Champion. He won the World Long Drive Championship in 2013 and 2015 hitting drives over 400 yards including a world record three years ago.

Now that you have some background, Ginella for some reason agreed to have a ball teed up in his mouth and have Burke hit a drive. This has disaster written all over it, but as you can see below, Ginella still has all of his choppers intact.

It must have been a rather nervous time for Ginella knowing that anything could go wrong and even a bigger relief to know that the whole thing was over.
