PGA TOUR winner Kevin Kisner has been suspended from his home club for racing golf carts and drinking beers.
The American golfer landed in hot water with course chiefs after footage emerged online of him fooling around at the course in South Carolina, US.
In the clip for Vice Sports, RSM Classic champ Kisner can be seen ordering seven carts in a line before they zoom off, one crashing almost straight away.
The video aims to show how Kisner, who has jumped from 236th in the world to his current spot of 22nd in just two years, spends his days off.
But jobsworths at Palmetto Golf Club, just a 20-minute drive from Augusta National, site of Danny Willett’s epic triumph in this year’s Masters, took exception.
At the start of the eight-minute long video, Kisner can be seen filling a cooler with beer before heading out onto the course.
While there he plays a nine-hole match with friends for money – and challenges them to a cart race down a hill on one of the holes.
But now Kisner and all of his mates who appear in the clip have been suspended – a move Kisner branded “comical”.
Since then Kisner, who has earned £1.8million already this season, has been preparing for the upcoming US Open at neighbouring Sage Valley Golf Club.
In the video Kisner, 32, said: “You’ve got to have that level to totally turn it off and if you shoot four over, who cares? You’re just out here having fun with your buddies.”
The footage ends with the PGA Tour golfer and his buddies enjoying drinks at a pub.
