Awesome footage has emerged from the UK of a five-year-old golf prodigy who is hoping to become the next Tiger Woods.

Ever since Zach Wheeler's parents bought him a set of plastic clubs when he was 14-months-old he's been into the sport.

After pestering them to take him to the driving range every day after school, Dean and Emma eventually decided to spend £3,500 building a pitch and putt course in their back garden.

The uploader wrote online: "The proud couple claim he is already the youngest child to get a golfing scholarship in the UK and can cope with an 18-hole round - even if his dad has to carry him between shots.

"His swing is the envy of most adults and he can putt straight into his mum's washing machine from six feet away.
