\n Trying out golf<\/a> for the first time, something just didn\u2019t feel right about the conventional swing<\/a> for Eliezer Paul-Gindiri.\n <\/p>\n

\n Uncomfortable, he adjusted his grip. His solution, quite literally, changed his life single-handedly.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt was a moment (that) just came out of nowhere,\u201d Paul-Gindiri told CNN. \u201cI held it in one hand and it felt really comfortable and waggly. I was like \u2018Wait a minute, let me try this.\u2019\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cNow that I think of it, I\u2019m like, \u2018what made me do that?\u2019 It\u2019s God. God blessed me with a talent that just came out of nowhere.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Rotating the club above his head, Paul-Gindiri stepped up to the tee and crushed a devastating drive into the Arizona night sky. Cue dropped jaws among onlooking friends at the driving range, including the one who had just captured the moment on camera.\n <\/p>\n

\n The footage was far from cinema-standard, and Paul-Gindiri barely gave it a second thought as he posted the clip to his newly created TikTok account that night.\n <\/p>\n

\n The next morning, he woke to the buzzing of a phone lighting up with notifications. Overnight, the video had surged to 1.5 million views.\n <\/p>\n
