Kirby Smart may have just led Georgia to a national championship (its first since 1980), but he’s still not safe from pranks on the golf course.
The Georgia coach was participating in The Peach Bowl Challenge this week when he fell victim to a classic prank.
As you can see below, Smart was fooled by the old exploding golf ball trick when he attempted a warmup drive on the driving range:

Smart took it all in stride, though. Now we’ll have to see if he can shake it off and play well during the challenge!
Georgia will open the 2022 season against Oregon in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Kickoff game.
