Even Test cricket superstar Travis Head can’t middle them all.
The loveable South Australian produced a moment of accidental comedy during Wednesday’s Women’s Australian Open pro-am at Kooyonga Golf Club, unleashing a tee-shot that turned into something resembling a game of pinball.

Lining up with an iron, Head struck the ball… straight into a nearby post. What happened next had players and spectators scrambling. Watch the chaos unfold here:
As we can clearly see in the footage, Head’s ball ricocheted sharply back past the tee before clanging into the steel grandstand behind the group, rattling around the structure as onlookers ducked and burst into laughter.
Head himself quickly stepped aside to avoid the rebound before sheepishly walking back to his bag, audibly muttering “sh-t!” as the crowd continued to chuckle. All in good fun, of course.
Head is known among teammates as a golf tragic and rarely passes up a chance to tee it up in his home city, but Wednesday’s moment proved that even one of the world’s most destructive batsmen can produce the occasional shocker with, well, a club in hand.

The Women’s Australian Open tees off Thursday at Kooyonga in Adelaide. If the pro-am was any indication, the week highlight.
