Tom Brady at Pebble Beach.

Tom Brady had a very un-Tom Brady-like moment Friday.

Tom Brady does a lot of things you haven’t done and simply will never do.

He’s won a record seven Super Bowls, NFL MVP five times, thrown a record 649 passing touchdowns and he gets Uggs for free.

And Let’s not forget how his hair seems to always look perfect, despite his primary job for 23 years requiring the use of a helmet.

But that’s Tom Brady the football player. Tom Brady the golfer, well, he’s a little bit more like you and me.

Yes, he gets to tee it up in this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and play with Keegan Bradley for a couple of days at two of the world’s best golf courses, while getting to be on TV, but we’re talking about his game.

Like many golfers, Brady hits some good shots, some bad shots and some downright atrocious shots that really make you consider what the heck you’re doing with your life.

The subject of this story is the latter, although Brady probably is pretty content with his life choices.

However, his opening tee at Pebble Tee during Friday’s second round would have forced those dark thoughts from lesser humans. The 8-handicap cold topped his tee shot to start his round, just barely dribbling the ball off the teeing ground.

In case you want to see another angle of one of the greatest athletes of all-time having as frustrating a time on the golf course as you do, you’re in luck.

Brady, to his credit, had some fun with the deeply moment. On an Instagram repost of the video, Brady offered a three-word response in the comments.

“Football way easier,” he commented, followed by a few winking face emojis.

That has to make any weekend hack feel good about their games when they see the GOAT having an even tougher time than they do.

Brady later added some further, uhhh, context, around the top on Twitter.

Driver was off the rack. Turns out they don’t do breakfast balls at Pebble 😂 https://t.co/UHFGTwjFux

— Tom Brady (@TomBrady) February 3, 2024

“Driver was off the rack,” Brady tweeted. “Turns out they don’t do breakfast balls at Pebble.”

Tom Brady’s Pebble Beach top? Here’s what went wrong
By: Zephyr Melton

Sure, Tom, we’re not judging (*winks*).

Brady and partner Keegan Bradley didn’t put up too strong of a fight for the Pro-Am title during the two-day competition, so the top likely didn’t cost the future Hall of Famer much in that department. They put up back-to-back rounds of 66 to finish T20 at 12 under, five shots back of Rory McIlroy and Jeff Rhodes.

However, Brady did lose a battle of quarterbacks against Josh Allen and his partner Keith Mitchell. The Buffalo Bills QB (who got one more handicap stroke than Brady for the week) shot 61 in the better ball format Friday to finish at 14 under and beat both Brady and Bradley, but also New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers and Beau Hossler.

Allen told reporters it was the first time he beat Brady in “anything.”

“It feels good, it feels real good. We had a minor bet, not monetary but some good pride and some other things,” Allen said. “Felt good to beat him. Wish I would have that happened on the football field, but we’ll take it where we can get it with him.”

Wouldn’t we all Josh, wouldn’t we all.
