Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry can hold his own on the golf links, but that doesn't mean he's not prone to mistakes.
The 29-year-old made a big one Thursday, destroying a glass table in his hotel room while practicing his swing.
Curry shared an image of the wreckage on his Instagram account -- a post that included the hashtag "#idiot." The entire top of the table was shattered, as glass shards littered the floor and chairs nearby.
"Golf is hard..." the PGA Tour account replied to Curry.
Curry played the Web.com Tour's Ellie Mae Classic on a sponsor's invite last summer and finished ahead of four players in the 156-man field at 8-over.
The Warriors, in the midst of a three-game road trip, are off Thursday before playing the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.

Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry, one of the best shooters in basketball history, will get to see how he stacks up against professional golfers after receiving a sponsor exemption into the Web.com Tour's Ellie Mae Classic.
The Golden State Warriors guard, who two weeks ago won his second NBA title in three years, is an avid golfer and will add plenty of publicity to the Aug. 3-6 event in Hayward, California.
"I'm honored to have the opportunity to play with the pros in the upcoming Ellie Mae Classic, not only to be able to compete against some of the best golfers in the world, but to also help bring light to the tournament’s charitable footprint of giving back to the Warriors Community Foundation," Curry said in a statement.
"Golf has always been a passion of mine and it's a dream come true to get the chance to play inside the ropes amongst the pros in a PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament."
Curry, the Warriors' all-time leader in three-pointers made, is sure to be a fan favourite at TPC Stonebrae, which is only a short drive from Golden State's home arena in Oakland.
The Web.com Tour is one rung below the PGA Tour.
