"“I hit it good,” Maye said with a giddy voice off the tee box. “I hit it on the club face, that's all that matters, [Keegan].”"
"Maye's parents introduced him to golf at a young age, seven or eight, according to his estimation. His smooth swing reflected that, even if not every shot was perfect. On top of his obvious prowess at the quarterback position, Maye was an elite high school basketball player, has shown off his ping pong skills in the past, and now has a documented above-average golf game."
"Showing more of his human side, Maye struggled near the green. He self-admittedly “can't chip,” and that proved to be the weakest part of his golf game, as he struggled on two consecutive chips that didn't reach the green, before seemingly conceding the hole altogether."
"The funniest moment of Maye's round came courtesy of a spectator giving him the scare of a lifetime. Maye hit a wayward shot into the rough near a crowd of fans, and whether he actually hit"
Drake Maye displayed a smooth golf swing during his PGA Pro-Am debut while carrying a humble, relatable attitude on the course. On the first tee, he focused on making solid contact and avoiding a shank. He learned golf from his parents at a young age and has also shown athletic versatility beyond football, including basketball and ping pong. Maye played alongside Keegan Bradley and traded nervous stories, including Bradley’s experience at Fenway Park. Maye admitted he “can’t chip,” struggled on consecutive chips near the green, and later sang along to “Choosin’ Texas” while walking the fairway. A spectator also startled him after a wayward shot into the rough.
