Watch a Robot Trash Talk Golfer Rory McIlroy While Hitting Balls at Washing Machines

I’ve been to golf courses and country clubs a few times for various reasons, but I’ve never actually been out on a golf course, so I have to ask — do they all have sassy robots that hit balls at washing machines? If so, then I take back anything I’ve ever said about golf being boring. In this video for the European Tour, golfer Rory McIlroy faces off against a mouthy robot as they compete to be the first to hit a series of washing machines with golf balls. It’s everything golf should be.
