For Alex Ovechkin, excelling at things is sort of the norm - so when we see him struggle, it looks unnatural. Earlier this summer, we saw Ovechkin play his first ever pro soccer game, during which he scored a goal. Such was not the case with Ovi's first time on a golf course.
A swing and a miss is not something that Ovi is known for, let alone several swings and misses. But, in true Ovechkin fashion, once he started to figure it out, he was finally able to make some solid contact at least.
