This is the hilarious moment a novice golfer accidentally let go of his club, sending it flying toward another player at a driving range.

Carl Alfred Boncales, 20, was attempting to hit a ball placed on a tee when the club slipped from his hands at Winners Golf Range in Davao del Sur, the Philippines.

Footage shows the club hurtling through the air before landing near another golfer on August 26.

Embarrassed, Carl covered his mouth in shock before pulling his shirt over his face and walking back to the bench.

His brother, James Boncales, who recorded the incident, burst into laughter at the golfing fail.

James said: 'I brought my brother with me because he wanted to try golf for the first time. But things became a little unexpected, he almost hit another player by accident.

'Thankfully, the other player just advised him to wear gloves next time because playing without them can be dangerous and cause accidents. This isn't the first time something like this happened, so I think it's a clear sign that golf isn't really for him.'
