Piers Morgan’s swing torn apart on Twitter

It’s a tough job as a celebrity playing in these Pro-Ams. Just ask One Direction’s Niall Horan, who was filmed nearly taking a fan’s head off with a low hook shot at last year’s BMW PGA Championship.

This time, it was journalist Piers Morgan under the microscope. Playing with three-time European Tour winner George Coetzee, cricket star Kevin Pietersen and Dan Walker, we filmed the 16-handicapper on the tee at Wentworth at the start of his round.

He retweeted the video to his near five million followers, describing his swing as ‘rapid’. And, as you can expect, it didn’t take long before criticism started to fly his way…

@piersmorgan @BunkeredOnline THAT FOOT PIVOT AFTER YOU’VE HIT IT. Shocking.

@piersmorgan @BunkeredOnline may be the worst swing I’ve ever seen. It’s impressive that you can play with that

@piersmorgan @BunkeredOnline Like a child trying to copy one of their heroes.

@piersmorgan @BunkeredOnline Piers , If your backswing gets any shorter , it won’t exist !

@piersmorgan @BunkeredOnline that is horrible. That should have a warning before it to protect the innocent.

@piersmorgan @BunkeredOnline are you using these? pic.twitter.com/9fAsgZpSQm

However, the criticism wasn’t all negative. There were, albeit a few, constructive comments.

@piersmorgan @BunkeredOnline Your too tight Piers, Bend your knees, and it’s all in the hips! pic.twitter.com/ocNNEhvh2C

@piersmorgan @BunkeredOnline piers, for perfection of timing say the name of severino ballesteros as you swing . You are saying Tom Kite

— Simon McGill (@BrookfieldRd) May 25, 2016

@piersmorgan @BunkeredOnline Not good. Your footwork is not timed with your swing.

@piersmorgan @BunkeredOnline wind it up Piers. Let the right hip turn and elevate hands up to right shoulder. #tourfix

@piersmorgan @BunkeredOnline you would have much more distance if you completed your backswing and slowed the entire swing down.
