Any golfer will tell you that there is a certain satisfaction to hitting a great shot, but Aussie golf legend Greg Norman has gone one step further in describing the feeling.
Speaking to Men's Health magazine, Norman admitted that he has been forced to put his clubs down after a
long career left his body badly damaged, but also made some startling claims about what might have kept him in the sport so long.
The man they call "The Shark" told the magazine that hitting a "pure" gold shot was "as good as having an orgasm".
"I'm deadly serious, there's an absolute rush. The rotation of your body, the timing, the feel, the sound, the end results, the visual side of the ball taking off from the club face ... it's just such a sensual feeling," he said.
Norman went on to say that after hitting more than five million golf balls over a long career he had been left on a cocktail of medications to manage his pain and had undergone 13 surgeries.
