Grossest-Looking Alex Noren’s Hands

Golf isn't at all as soft as some people may imagine, as demonstrated by Alex Noren's display of what appeared to be the grossest hands in golf two years ago. They may not be taking blows like they do in the NFL, planting their feet and charging like they do in the NBA, getting their teeth knocked out like they do in the NHL, but hitting balls all day on the range may wear you out. Don't trust us? Let's look at the photo of Alex Noren hands once more.

Cripes. Take a day off, maybe, my guy. Kouwenaar is the 28th-ranked amateur in the world and opened with rounds of 68 and 70 at the KLM, so it appears that the effort is paying off. He shot six under through the opening 36 holes, despite that many of us wouldn't be able to grip a club with those hands. Please refer back to this article the next time you doubt the athleticism of golfers.
