Golf is a very popular sport among celebrities. Many stars of art, show business and other sports are fond of golf. Several of them make very good amateurs. Others, like Bill Murray and Larry the Cable Guy, not so much.

The PGA Tour recently posted a video on its social media handles showing unfortunate shots by numerous celebrities over the years. Both Bill Murray and Larry the Cable Guy featured heavily in the montage.

The video was captioned:

"Celebrities, they're just like us ... on the course. Golf is hard, the celebrity edition."

In the video, Bill Murray is seen executing a swing so unfortunate that the ball barely went a foot high and landed straight into a bunker less than 50 yards away.

Murray is also shown attempting a putt from about 10 feet that went completely wide to the right. The star of Ghostbusters and Charlie's Angels then tries to tap it in by waving to the crowd and not looking at the ball, but it took him no less than four tries.

As for Larry The Cable Guy, he is seen executing an iron shot from the fairway, but he shanked it and sent the ball into a bunker lining the fairway a few yards to his left.

Among those "starring" in the video is singer Michael Bolton, who tried to chip his ball over a bunker but came up well short. Bolton appeared so embarrassed that he was seen asking for the video to be "deleted".

Even worse was Kevin Costner, who executed a wedge shot to get a ball out of the sand with such bad luck that he left it on the edge of the bunker.
