As the highest scoring defender in Premier League history, John Terry dispelled the belief long ago that those at the back, lack composure in front of goal, struggling to find the target.
And his coolness around the penalty area is matched by his level of control over the golf ball after he posted this video of him practicing his chipping.
Only a few hours removed from helping his side salvage a point, courtesy of Diego Costa's last minute equaliser against Manchester United, Terry opted for a set of irons and tried his hand at something entirely different.

Standing with his usual collected poise, the 35-year-old steadied himself as he prepared to chip into a strong headwind and shows decent control by getting the ball to pitch past the pin, then grip and hold its position, just a yard from the hole.
Terry was keen to share his efforts, uploading it to his official Instagram account, saying: 'Windy on the Range this morning.'
While Chelsea have conceded that Terry, who announced he will be departing Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, could still be offered a 12 month extension, the former England centre-back claims that is not the case.

‘It’s a difficult one. The club is the most important thing but there’s no communication at the moment,’ said Terry. ‘I said what I had to say, that’s how it is. I've made it very clear I want to stay.'
Prior to kick-off on Sunday, the Blues skipper was given a rapturous reception by the fans, and that support is something that was not lost on him: ‘The fans were incredible, for me the best fans in the world. What they've done for me, I’ll never forget – those memories will stay with me forever,' Terry added.
As discussion on the future of Terry goes on, the immediate concern revolves around his defensive partner Kurt Zouma, who faces an anxious wait to see whether he will play again this campaign, after hyper-extending his knee in the second-half.
The 21-year-old screamed in agony as he clutched at his leg, before being stretchered off the pitch to a rousing ovation of support, later seen leaving the Bridge with his leg in a brace.
