You Can Beat Olympic Hero & Toker Michael Phelps...at Putting

YouTube has set up our Olympic heroes to fail. They started the Best of the US Challenge with some of our best Olympians to have them try to complete tasks that are not in their athletic expertise. For Michael Phelps, clearly, that was making five foot putts on a gymnasium floor.
Phelps had 60 seconds to see how many five-footers (or what I like to call Mickelsons) he could make. As you'll see, some of the bong resin got in the way.
Anyway, you can beat Michael Phelps! Record yourself making five foot putts on any surface - including GRASS! (GET IT?! WEED? GANGA?!) - and upload it to the YouTube. If you win, you get some shirts or something.
But you can be like me and beat an incredible athlete at a sporting endeavor. I beat Lucas Glover in a chipping contest. What did you do?

not bad !
12 out of 20 – that’s really impressive – and that’s harder than putting into a golf hole because the cups have lips and only a very small area touching the ground for the ball to roll in. And that floor wasn’t level everywhere. A few of those putts really broke hard.

I think a few of them weren’t lined up straight in. If I was gonna do it, I’d do the Mickelson circle o’ death approach.

the term “bong resin”..?? It’s not even in the UrbanDictionary…
