Tom Brady returns to the scene of viral gaffe... a year after NFL legend's humiliation

Tom Brady was back at Pebble Beach on Wednesday – a little over a year after the NFL legend suffered humiliation at the iconic golf course.

Brady, who plays off a handicap of eight, posted a selection of pH๏τos from the picturesque course in California, which showed him enjoying a round shortly after sunrise.

‘Grip it and Rip it,’ the 47-year-old wrote alongside a picture of him hitting a drive against the stunning backdrop of waves breaking on the beach.

Pebble Beach, which hosted the 2019 US Open, sits on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific ocean and is one of America’s most iconic courses.

But last February it was the scene of humiliation for Brady. The retired NFL great went viral after topping his tee sH๏τ in front of the cameras.

Brady was competing in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am but the seven-time Super Bowl winner’s sH๏τ barely made it off the tee box.

His sH๏τ was greeted by awkward silence among those watching but the video quickly flooded social media.

Brady was happy to poke fun at himself by reposting the clip and writing ‘Driver was off the rack… turns out they don’t do breakfast balls at Pebble.’

A breakfast ball is a mulligan – a free chance to retake a sH๏τ – on the first hole of a course.

Back in 2014, meanwhile, Brady played in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am alongside his former Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who recalled how the quarterback flirted with danger.

‘We were on the sixth hole, which is a long par-5, and it goes up a big hill and the ocean is on the right, and the fairway kind of falls off to the right, and most of us golfers are little slicers anyways, so lot of balls end up over there – in or by the ocean,’ Belichick recalled. 

‘So, there we are playing in a pro-am tournament, where, as an amateur, if you hit a bad sH๏τ you don’t really worry about it – you play the pro’s ball anyway. That’s what you have him for. There’s not a ton of pressure on the amateurs because you have a good player with you who probably is going to make a par on almost every hole and birdie a few.

‘So Tom hit one, his second sH๏τ over (to the right), and I see a starting quarterback, a Super Bowl MVP, a league MVP, literally hanging over the side of the cliff probably 200-300 feet above the ocean.

‘(He was) trying to hit a golf ball that’s a pretty meaningless sH๏τ because the pro already is going to do better than he would on the hole. But that’s Tom. He’s very, very compeтιтive, very focused.’
