There Are Calls For Golfer To Receive Lifetime Ban After Inexcusable Behavior
There Are Calls For Golfer To Receive Lifetime Ban After Inexcusable Behavior originally appeared on The Spun. There are plenty of unwritten rules when it comes to the game of golf. That being said, players shouldn't have to be told to take care of the green. Over the years, countless people have shared their biggest pet peeves about golf etiquette. Earlier this year, Paige Spiranac revealed that nothing "grinds her gears more" than golfers who refuse to fill their divot on the course. "The grounds crew wakes up at the butt crack of dawn to make sure this golf course is in pristine condition for you to just duff it around," Spiranac said. "The least you can do is fill your divot and fix your ball mark. And with pace of play we know you got time to not only fix one, but 10 more. The golf gods are looking down at you going, 'Wow, I'll remember that.' The next time your drive is flying out of bounds, it's going to stop right in front of it because you have good golf karma now. So remember that and don't be an [expletive]. Caring for the golf course is not only good for you, it's good for everyone on the golf course and the grounds crew." Although she hasn't commented on it yet, Spiranac would hate the latest golf video that's going viral. Two days ago, NUCLR GOLF shared a video of a young golfer destroying the green simply because he missed a putt. It was the type of tantrum you'd never expect to see on the golf course. Once this video went viral, countless fans made it clear they want this golfer to be banned for life. "There's no excuse for that behavior - it wasn't the putter, the green or the ball's fault - the kid should be banned for life .. NO RESPECT FOR THE GAME," one person said after seeing this video. "Got the picture of the idiot. Know the Course. He plays. Got his playing partner. Fine him big time for destroying public property and never let him play again," a second person wrote on X. "Yes, anyone who damages the lawn without any reason should be banned for life," a third person commented. "It wasn't like he hit a decent putt and it just missed. Even then, what he did was totally uncalled for. It was a heinous act," another person said. "The golf course operators should have called police to have him charged with vandalism," a social media user added. This golfer's identity has not been revealed at this time. We're also not sure which course was destroyed in this video. All we know is behavior like this is truly unacceptable.

Charlie Woods Inches Closer To Junior Ryder Cup With Performance at PGA
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Tiger Woods' son, Charlie, carded another superb round on Thursday to move into a tie for second place at the Junior PGA Championship with just 18 holes remaining. The younger Woods now has his sights set not only on winning the biggest title of his young career but also on the chance to make his debut defending the red, white, and blue. The top two finishers at the Junior PGA Championship automatically qualify for the American team for the Junior Ryder Cup, which will be played Sept. 23-25 at Nassau Country Club and Bethpage Black. It would be Charlie's first experience representing the United States, if he can maintain or improve his current position in the event. The American team for the Junior Ryder Cup will feature four other boys. One of them is already secured by Hamilton Coleman, who won the US Junior Amateur. Charlie Woods hits a tee shot on the fourth hole during the first round of the U.S. Junior Amateur at Brook Hollow Golf Club on July 21, 2025 in Dallas, Texas. Charlie Woods hits a tee shot on the fourth hole during the first round of the U.S. Junior Amateur at Brook Hollow Golf Club on July 21, 2025 in Dallas, players will be selected from the team's internal rankings, currently led by Miles Russell, while the sixth player will be selected by the captain. The team will also feature six girls who will qualify and/or be selected following exactly the same criteria as the boys. This way, Charlie could guarantee his presence on the team this Friday at Purdue University's Ackerman-Allen Course. However, if he doesn't finish in the top two at the Junior PGA Championship, he still has options, although they certainly look less tempting. Depending on his result in this event and also on the performance of his rivals, Charlie could reach second place in the team's internal rankings and earn his spot this way. He could also impress captain Suzy Whaley enough to decide to select him as her free pick. The Junior PGA Championship is the last event before the team membership is unveiled. The 12 members will be named next Tuesday, August 5. 🚨🐯👀 #UPDATE — Charlie Woods birdies the 18th to shoot -5, 66 in the 3rd round of the Jr. PGA Championship. He currently sits T2 (7 back) and will have a legitimate opportunity to compete for a spot on the Jr. Ryder Cup team. Top 2 finishers qualify. — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) August 1, 2025 There's no doubt that Charlie has proven in recent days that he can play at the highest level. During the third round, he carded nine birdies and four bogeys for a 66, which brought his 36th-hole score to 12-under. "My round was pretty up and down and it gave me a heart attack out there," Woods told the Journal & Courier. "But nine birdies is pretty good. A couple of three-putts, I made a few mistakes today but overall, pretty solid round. Pretty good position going into tomorrow." Charlie is tied for second with Pennson Badgett. They are both seven strokes behind leader Lunden Esterline, who also posted a third-round 66 and has a more than comfortable cushion for the final round. On the girls' side, superstar Asterisk Talley now leads alone after a third-round 69. Talley holds a two-stroke lead over Zoe Cusack, who was co-leading the day before.

Irish golfer goes viral after leaving pals in stitches at Rory McIlroy's club
Holywood Golf Club has produced one of the greatest players of all time - but now it may have provided us with one of the funniest tee shots ever caught on camera. Rory McIlroy may well be the sweetest driver of a golf ball in the history of the game and when players rock up at his native Holywood Golf Club, they are trying to emulate the Masters champion, in some little way. Holywood Social Club held an outing there at the weekend and a hilarious video of the honorary first tee shot has gone viral, accounting for almost two million views on social media - so far. Proudly boasting a green jacket, similar to that claimed by McIlroy for his Masters triumph at Augusta in April, Conor McGeown has the fortune to be hitting the first tee shot of the day in front of the entire group. Holywood Social Club's opening shot of the day is always taken by the person who finished last in their previous outing, and the golfer must wear a green jacket for the occasion. Hole 1 at Holywood GC is a 336 yard par four. A challenging opener with out of bounds along the left tree line and a steep bank off the right side of the green. The website provides a helpful tip from none other than McIlroy himself, who says: "The opening tee shot requires accuracy, by favoring the left side of the fairway, you provide yourself a full view of the green. Keep approach shot to the middle or left side of the green, avoiding green right!' McGeown may have had that in mind as he went left with the driver. Way left. Perhaps nerves played a major part, as he clipped the ball into a tree on his left just yards from the tee box. After a brief moment of confusion, the ball reappeared, bouncing back along the path onto the tee box and some 20 yards back from where he teed off. Conor McGeown hits the disastrous first tee shot and, right, is presented with the 'honorary' green jacket on previous outing (Image: Holywood Social Club) His assembled clubmates cannot contain their laughter in the hilarious clip which was quickly posted on the club's Facebook account. "Our golf section had another fantastic outing yesterday held at Holywood golf club, some brilliant golf played with plenty of laughs had by all. The winners were: Gary Humphries - winner ( better back 9 ), Colm McIlroy - 2nd, Billy white - 3rd. Winner of the famous green jacket Richard Round. "But special mention has to go to Conor Mcgeown who undoubtedly played the best trick shot anyone will ever see, watch for yourselves in the video," said the post. Their video has now been viewed 750,000 times on Facebook. On top of that, the popular NUCLR GOLF account on Twitter/X shared the video with the caption - Rough start to the boys trip. Their video on X has just shy of one million views.

Does Donald Trump cheat in golf? Video evidence emerges
The vistas of the US president Donald Trump's golf canvas are broadening. He opened one in Aberdeen, Scotland, on Tuesday, the last day of his five-day trip to the sprawling Scottish countryside. 'We'll play it very quickly and then I go back to D.C. and we put out fires all over the world,' Trump bumped a line that captures the essence of Trumpism, brazen and pompous, during the opening ceremony. He owns 17 golf courses around the globe, including two in Scotland, his mother's birthplace. But just as the new golf pastures he has been annexing, allegations of him cheating when navigating 18 holes across wide-open spaces are mounting by the day. A raft of celebrities including Hollywood thespian Samuel L Jackson had accused him of cheating. Now two separate videos have surfaced of him bending the rules in broad daylight. In one of the videos, released by Reuters, he is spotted discreetly adjusting the position of the ball on the fairway with his club in the Turnberry course, Scotland. In the background, an eyewitness is heard saying: 'I can't believe we've just watched the man cheating at f—ing golf,' an eyewitness is heard saying in the background. In another one, a caddie is seen stealthily dropping the ball, rather flicking it with the back of his palm, onto a favourable position. Trump is in a cart, left of the fairway. 🚨🏴⛳️ #WATCH — A caddie was seen dropping a ball for President Donald Trump during his Scotland golf trip. Did he make par? — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) July 27, 2025 He claims he has a handicap of 2.8 handicap, respectable in golf circles, he has once bragged: 'I've played a lot, and I've played well… There's very few people that can beat me in golf.' He once said he holds the amateur record on his own golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. In a story about celebrity golf handicaps, Forbes reported that his is a 4 but noted they have yet to see 'a real signed scorecard.' Those that have played with him refute. In 2016, Jackson alleged: 'We clearly saw him hit a ball into a lake at Trump National [Golf Course], and his caddie told him he found it… he just took off running and next thing we know he says 'I got it Mr. Trump!''. Trump retorted: 'I don't cheat at golf but Samuel L. Jackson cheats—with his game he has no choice.' 'Donald Trump is the worst cheat ever and he doesn't care who knows,' said author of the 2019 book 'Commander in Cheat,' Rick Reilly. ':At Winged Foot, where Trump is a member, the caddies got so used to seeing him kick his ball back on to the fairway they came up with a nickname for him: Pele,' Reilly wrote in the book. Rockstar Alice Cooper was more tongue in cheek. 'The worst celebrity golf cheat? I wish I could tell you that. It would be a shocker. I played golf with Donald Trump one time. That's all I'm going to say,' he said in a 2012 interview with Q Magazine. Actor Anthony Anderson drips sarcasm. 'Trump is a great golfer. I'm not going to say Trump cheats, he told Late Night With Seth Meyers in 2016. 'His caddie cheats for him.' Suzann Pettersen, the former Europe Solheim Cup captain, who played with Trump in his first term, reflects on her experience. 'He cheats like hell … so I don't quite know how he is in business,' she said. 'They say that if you cheat at golf, you cheat at business. I'm pretty sure he pays his caddie well, since no matter how far into the woods he hits the ball, it's in the middle of the fairway when we get there.' Worse, it is costing the taxpayers a fortune too. The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (Crew) estimated that Trump visited his properties an astounding 547 times during his first term in official capacity. It included 328 visits to Trump's various golf courses.

Thorbjorn Olesen Honors Tiger Woods As He Chases 3M Open After Ace
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The PGA Tour is just hours away from crowning its next champion at the 3M Open, and Thorbjorn Olesen is positioned to grab it in style. The Danish man closed his Saturday round with a 4-under 67, sharing the lead with Akshay Bhatia at 18-under-par through 54 holes. CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 16: Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark hits a tee shot on the 12th hole during the second round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 16, 2025...

(Photo by) More Getty Images For Olesen, the PGA Tour has always been a stage of inspiration. When asked to name the most iconic winning moment he's ever seen, he didn't hesitate. "It's got to be Tiger (Woods) somewhere," he told the interviewer after his semi-final round. "Probably the Masters would be the one I remember the best, but the first one (1997) I remember and most exciting one." Back in 1997, Woods won his first Masters jacket at just 21 with an 18-under-par. The golf legend left the field behind, marching to a 12-stroke win and rewriting history, becoming the youngest Masters champion and the first player of Asian or African heritage to wear the green jacket. Now the 35-year-old pro is chasing a moment of his own at the 3M Open. Thorbjorn Olesen eyes first PGA Tour win with an ace On Saturday, Olesen delivered one of the most electric moments of the weekend with a stunning hole-in-one on the par-3 8th hole at TPC Twin Cities. 🚨⚡️🐻 #ACE — Thorbjørn Olesen hole-in-one on the Par-3 8th at TPC Twin Cities — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) July 26, 2025 When asked about it, Olesen explained how there was uncertainty between using a seven- and six-iron. "It was a back pin. It just felt like I couldn't get there with a 7 so we went for a soft 6-iron," he told the reporter in his post-round press conference. "Obviously took the slope perfectly, a big bonus to see it go in. But yeah, it's been a long time since I've had one so it was nice, it was nice." This was the Danish pro's third career hole-in-one, but his first on PGA Tour. "I think this is probably the best one because it's been so long since I've had one," he expressed during the same conference. "The two on the DP World Tour, and this is my first on the PGA TOUR. Yeah, I would say this one is the best." Olesen turned pro in 2008, and while he's racked up eight wins on the DP World Tour, including the 2022 British Masters and 2023 Thailand Classic, he's never won on American soil. If the 35-year-old pulls off the final round on Sunday, he'll become the first Dane to win on the PGA Tour, and according to tournament officials, the 10,000th different winner in PGA Tour history. "It's going to be exciting," Olesen said as quoted. "I'm happy to be in this position going into tomorrow. It's going to take a lot, there's a lot of guys up there. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of birdies. It will be difficult for sure." "It (winning) would mean a lot," he added further. "Winning is what we're trying to do every week. You know, obviously I haven't won over here, but yeah, it's a great opportunity and I'm going to try my best for sure. We'll see, we'll see what happens."
