If free falling from 10,000 feet doesn't get the blood pumping through your veins before a round of golf, nothing will.

LPGA tour member Lexi Thompson made quite the entrance to her first-round Pro Am tee time at the Kingsmill Championship in Williamsburg, Va. on Thursday, arriving from the sky with retired Navy SEALS and a member of the Red Bull Air Force, according to USA TODAY Sports.

The exhilarating stunt may have put things into perspective for Thompson, who said following her landing she "won't be so nervous on the first tee anymore."
