WATCH: Kirby Smart gets pranked while participating in a charity golf tournament
Like most people who go to play in a golf tournament, Georgia coach Kirby Smart headed to the driving range to get some swings in before teeing off. Well, someone decided to play a prank on him.
Smart went to hit a shot on the range prior to the Peach Bowl Challenge in Atlanta, but the golf ball turned into a ball of smoke when he hit it. It certainly caught him off guard, and the national championship-winning coach had a good laugh afterward.
It’s all in good fun as Smart gets ready to play with former Ole Miss, Auburn, Texas Tech and Cincinnati coach Tommy Tuberville in the tournament. Plenty of big-name college coaches — both past and present — are competing in the event, which tees off Tuesday at Lake Oconee.
