Challenging a golfer's distance claim from @divotdudes.golf

A creator approaches a young golfer named Kelen at a driving range and challenges him to prove his claim of hitting a driver 270 yards in the air. After Kelen accepts the wager for $240 worth of golf gloves, he successfully hits the ball 272 yards. The creator then ups the ante, offering Kelen $2 for every additional yard he can hit over 270, and Kelen proceeds to hit another shot that travels 277 yards before taking a final swing.
