What's better than hitting a hole-in-one? Hitting a hole-in-one and having someone give you an entire barrel of whiskey for it. Welcome to the dream, Beau Brinkley. The Titans long snapper recently sunk an ace while playing golf and as a result he's going to claim a prize of AN ENTIRE BARREL of Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select.
A whole barrel! Brinkley was playing in a Nashville tournament where Jack was a sponsor, so he knew there were some stakes involved where he could hit a hole-in-one and win a mammoth prize.
But when he stepped up to the 182-yard Par 3 he didn't plan on soaking in whiskey for the next year (or four).
"You could see the flag but you couldn't see the hole," Brinkley told ESPN after hitting the ace. "After I hit it, it felt really good. Probably the most accurate golf shot I've ever hit.
"Walked up there ... I kind of creeped in, saw it and just went crazy. Threw my hat, chest-bumped all my teammates."
A full barrel of whiskey is appromixately 250 bottles (!) of Jack and Brinkley gets to head over to Lynchberg, Tennessee and pick out samples from the Jack Daniels Distillery to claim his barrel.
Rough offseason for Brinkley.
