While most of Hawaii panicked Saturday when an emergency alert was sent out warning residents of an incoming ballistic missile attack, one man remained calm.
Mark Gardner was out golfing when he received the alert but elected to pull out his phone and record one final message for his family on the golf course.
"If you're watching this video, that means I didn't make it because of the missile that's coming towards Hawaii," said Gardner. "I just parred the last hole, and I just hit the shiznick out of my last ball. I love you all, but I'm playing golf. It's the last thing I'm going to do."
