Watch as 6ft 7in Peter Crouch struggles to play golf with kids club leaving partners in stitches at Paddy Golf shootout

PETER CROUCH had his playing partners in stitches when he was forced to use a kids club in the Paddy Golf Shootout.

Former Liverpool striker Crouchy – who stands a giant 6ft 7in – looked like he was holding a toothpick in his hands on the closest-to-the-pin challenge.

All the players in the shootout had to use a kid’s club on the par-3 hole.

And that wasn’t a problem for some of the shorter people in the shootout, such as TV star Piers Morgan and Ryder Cup hero Tommy Fleetwood.

But it was a nightmare for Crouchy, who could barely get the club to reach the ground when he addressed the ball.

Cameras showed Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston in hysterics as the ex-England forward went out about his awkward, gangly practice swings.

And there was no happy ending either, with his shot sailing right off the green and into the rough.

Fans watching the live stream were absolutely loving watching Crouch struggle.

One said: “Peter Crouch with a kids pitching wedge. Lockdown is complete.”

Another posted: “Peter Crouch using a children’s golf club is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in the last few months.”

In fairness to Crouch, he was having a bit of bad luck in the star-studded shootout that Harry Kane was also to tee off in.

On another challenge where players had to hit a shot into a goal, Crouchy, like he did a fair few times in his career, saw his effort clatter the post.
