It’s a fantastic conversation starter among friends in the clubhouse – what would your golfing superpower be?
So if you asked 100 random amateur golfers what they would love to have as their superpower, some might say ‘never missing a putt ever again‘ or potentially ‘possessing the ability to drive the ball 400 yards’ (in a straight line).
