Irish golfer Shane Lowry took a break from his golf clubs when he whipped out a hurley and sliotar in Augusta, Georgia, this week, ahead of his 11th Masters start.
The GAA-mad native of Co Offaly shared a brief clip of the unexpected hurling puck on his social media pages on Wednesday, prompting a huge response.
"You can hit a bigger one, Dad!" one of his daughters can be heard saying in the background of the sweet clip.
Lowry shouts to the family dog, Paddy, to chase after the sliotar on the green.
"Paddy, you lazy lump," a woman, presumably Lowry's wife Wendy, jokes offscreen.

Lowry's hurling clip has drawn plenty of heartfelt - and hilarious - reactions.
"Things we love to see," the GAA commented on Lowry's Instagram post. "Ádh mór! [Good luck!]"
DP World Tour commented, saying that Offaly GAA should sign Lowry.
Meanwhile, Australian pro-golfer Min Woo Lee joked: "fastest swing speed recorded from you shano."
Also among the commenters was former Philadelphia Eagles center and Super Bowl winner Jason Kelce - who, as it happens, Lowry dressed up as once for Halloween.
"Hurling, would love to know how that sport actually works," Kelce wrote on Lowry's Instagram post.
"Love watching it, looks absolutely crazy."
Hurling isn't the first Irish sport that has caught Kelce's interest. Last year, he was in Boston to learn all about Irish road bowling in a special feature for ESPN.
Kelce said afterward that he was officially an "enormous fan" of the sport and that he couldn't "wait to get another crack at it!"
Hurling has already gotten a brief mention on ESPN in the past - could a Jason Kelce hurling special be up next? Fingers crossed!
