A Robert MacIntyre video tweet chipping a ball from his bedroom into a bucket of water lying in the back of a motorised buzzy and being driven by his younger brother has already attracted 62.6K views.

And in looking closely at the video here is the sight of the leading Scot golfer’s mother painting the side of their Oban house.

Last year’s European Tour ‘Rookie of the Year’ and Aberdeen Investments ambassador was asked how the video clip came about.

“I was just up in my room and my mum was wanting me to do some painting round the house so I was getting changed and I thought I could should something out the window into the wheelie bins that we moved into the middle of the grass,” said the Scot.

“I started off chipping into the wheelie bins from my bedroom. Then, I thought it was too easy. So we moved it on to one of the boys in the buggy with a bucket of water in the back. It took about 15 attempts to get it.”

Like golfer’s at all levels MacIntyre all he’s doing is striving to keep himself busy and with two younger brothers, and staring in his ‘Bedroom Chip Shot’ there’s no shortage of things to do.

“It has been good having time off but I would rather be out competing,” he said.

“It’s just about trying to better myself, get myself fitter, get my swing better and just get on with it. It is not the time to be sitting about doing nothing. I’m just trying to stay active and keep moving.

“Also with the two wee boys at home, especially Dan the man, he keeps us busy, gets you running about.  We’ve got loads of room where we live. We’ve got the golf course on both sides and the forest about 200 yards away.

‘You can stay out the way of people but still stay busy if you want to go walking.

‘I have taken a shift on the home schooling, too. I’m dodging it just now – my mum is down the stair helping the boys just now.

‘But I’ve done the last few days. Trying to tick over my brain.

‘I used to be all right at maths. It’s the English that gets me, asking me questions about that – I’m passing that straight on to my mum or my sister.”

Well done, Robert!
