I can’t imagine how unbearable of an experience that had to be for Smith. One moment, you’re just trying to crush the ball and the next, wasps are all over you.
Favorite part of JR Smith’s college debut is that he looks damn good doing it. pic.twitter.com/WlCNZ8cCvk

It also clearly wasn’t just one or two wasps. Smith seemed to be swatting away at a lot of them. They appeared to be all over him.
The most impressive part about this whole situation is that Smith returned to play after his stings were taken care of.

Also, it’s so damn cool J.R. Smith is on a college golf team. Never give up on your dreams, kids! Anything is possible.
