Adult golf fans are letting their social media persona become their real life identity

so you can't blame them when they see Wyndham tearing up historical locker rooms and throwing temper tantrums and then display their allegiances accordingly.

Your post is 100% what’s wrong with people. You don’t have to like Clark, I certainly don’t. But you 100% without a doubt do have control over acting like a civilized adult, nothing Clark did makes you act like a good many assholes did this weekend

But my point is why he is disliked doesn’t matter. Once you act like an a-hole it’s on you not Clark. It’s irrelevant. People have lost complete touch and the internet has become real life to them

never watched a sporting event in New York? always been tons of arrogant assholes up there. I would never boo a golfer regardless of my distaste for them, but I'm not surprised it's happening

yes, many

There are people who have been in golf for 40 plus years saying Bethpage and now Shinnecock were completely outlandish , and they have seen more New York golf fans than me and you combined

Golf crowds these days fricking suck.


Also frick Wyndham Clark. Dude is a big time weirdo.

Normally the golfers cheating videos never do it for me and they just seem like stuff made by guys that don't like a player. Even one of the Patrick Reed bunker "cheating" videos never seemed that bad to me. It was like a camera zoomed in 20x and it shows the bottom of his club barely touch the sand. So light that he wouldn't have even noticed much less given him an advantage.

But I saw that Wyndham stomping on the grass video last night by a dude on Tik Tok and was like wtf dude. He is clearly flattening ground behind his ball. He tests it with his club, which is allowed, but you can tell that test tells him it's a pretty bad lie so he steps past the ball and stomps it down to improve it. Plenty of guys push the ground down behind the ball with their club harder than they should but it's almost like it's a given guys are going to do that so it's not penalized, but this one was bad. He legit stomps the ground down.

I watched the post round interview and some press conference clips and I really liked the stuff he was saying talking abopout winning back fans and took the booing pretty well. But then I saw that video and got pissed at him all over again.

I remember questioning all of those practice swings when it was happening live. The main one in question for me was when he stepped forward and took a sing way to the right (looking at the hole) of his ball.

I agree with pride on this, though. Say what you want on a message board, but leave it there. I am fine with people not really clapping for Wyndham when he did good things, though. Just don't do negative things.
