Star athletes are practicing indoor golf trick shots to pass time while sports are suspended

With sports seasons around the world on hold due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, professional athletes have found many different ways to pass time.

An increasingly common trend appears to be practicing golf trick shots, sometimes indoors.

Of course, plenty of athletes play golf in their spare time. With nothing but time now, some of the trick shots are getting pretty good.

Stephen Curry

Curry is an avid golfer and has played in amateur tournaments. He went off the wall and into a cup.

Mardy Fish

American tennis player Mardy Fish responded to Curry's challenge and went off the backboard and onto the green.

Mike Trout

The Los Angeles Angels outfielder posted a video of a chip shot over his balcony and into a cup. We're skeptical since the ball leaves the frame, but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Jake Elliott

The Philadelphia Eagles kicker was also sinking shots from off of his balcony.

Kent Bazemore

Curry challenged his former Golden State Warriors teammate to post his own trick shot. Bazemore was unsuccessful but has plenty of time to work on his game.
