TL;DR
  • Eric "Erobb221" Robbins lost grip of his golf club during a swing at Topgolf, sending it flying across the range.
  • Staff immediately removed and banned him from the venue citing safety concerns.
  • The mishap adds to Erobb's reputation for on-stream blunders that have become central to his streaming identity.

Eric “Erobb221” Robbins has added another chapter to his book of streaming mishaps after being banned from Topgolf following an incident where he accidentally threw his golf club during a swing. The moment, captured live on stream, shows Erobb attempting to hit a golf ball with a 9 iron placed on a tee that was too high for that type of club.

In the viral clip, Erobb can be seen swinging at the ball, but he loses his grip entirely instead of making clean contact. The 9 iron travels through the air, flying farther than the ball and landing in the driving range area.

Topgolf staff quickly intervened after the dangerous mishap. According to reports, Erobb was promptly asked to leave the premises and informed he would not be welcome back, as his actions posed a significant safety risk to other patrons.

“The man used a 9 iron with a tee higher than Snoop Dogg and somehow yeeted the club further than the ball,” one viewer commented after watching the clip.

For golf newcomers wondering about the mistake: using a high tee with a 9 iron is a rookie error. High tees are designed for drivers and woods, not short irons like the one Erobb was attempting to use.

This adds to Erobb’s notorious reputation within the streaming community. As the younger brother of fellow streamer Tyler1, Erobb has carved out his own niche not through skill but through his uncanny ability to land in embarrassing situations during broadcasts.

Topgolf, a chain of high-tech driving ranges designed for players of all skill levels, keeps strict safety rules. Throwing equipment, even if it’s an accident, usually means you’re shown the door right away because of the possible danger to staff and other guests.
