We've seen how tough it can be to shoot down some drones, even while armed with a machine gun.
But apparently this professional golfer only needed his chipping wedge and a golf ball to take one out.

Pro golfer Keegan Bradley took out a DJI Phantom Drone with shocking precision and the shot was caught on the drone-mounted camera.
Putnam investments uploaded the video and gave these details:
"The constant buzz of the drone filming overhead has distracted Pro Golfer Keegan Bradley — and affected his putting. Fed up, he turns the tables on the DJI Phantom Drone. The GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition attached to its underside captures the results."

The Blaze attempted to contact Putnam to get the facts; it's hard to imagine that the entire commercial wasn't planned this way from the start. But the company did not immediately respond.
If it was a spur-of-the-moment shot, even bigger kudos go to Bradley. Whether staged or not, he definitely hits the moving drone target with the ball, and it's worth a watch.
