This is 2026. People cosplaying as things they don’t have the authority, the talent, or the track record to actually be. Just for content.
A mayor playing president. A founder playing operator. A content creator playing one-on-one thinking he’s a pro. A 25yr old with a ring light playing economist. Everyone auditioning. Nobody building.
Were raising a generation that learning the reward isn’t in doing the thing it’s in looking like you did the thing. The clip is the career. The pose is the product. The soundbite is the substitute for a life’s work.
Don't fall for distractions
@flushingitgolf Why did he turn his foot so internal to take his stance. Seems very unnatural unless you are trying to step down on something. Thats called improving your lie or attempting to. Looks like a penalty.
The big issue here is the lack of enforcement of the rules week in week out on tour. Everyday you could call dozens of these penalties with what players do with their clubs behind the ball.
Props on the R&A for calling one out but the Tour should be enforcing the rules of golf more often so that club mashing and stepping behind the ball becomes known as cheating, not standard practice.
