Professional Golfer Stunned After Guy Tries To Correct Her Swing Since He's Played 'For 20 Years'

Guy mansplains a correct swing to a professional golfer

Golf coach and PGA golfer Georgia Ball was practicing a new swing technique at a driving range when a stranger approached her to try to attempt to mansplain golf to her.

It may be 2024, but mansplainers are still going to mansplain—even when they're commenting on form, and their audience is a professional sports player and coach.

PGA pro golfer and golf coach Georgia Ball, who goes by @georgiagolfcoach on TikTok and other social platforms, recently shared a video of her practicing at a driving range, only to be "coached" by a man who felt he knew better.


While at the range, Ball was working on switching up her swing, which includes slowing down the swing and really feeling through every step and motion of that swing to perfect it.

She was in the process of recording herself changing up her swing when a man interrupted her and began to give her advice about her "too slow" swing.

"What you're doing there, you shouldn't be doing that. You should go right through. Swing and follow through. You're going too slow on the way up."

The man prefaced this by saying that he had been golfing for 20 years and saw mistakes like this all the time.

The actual golf coach attempted to tell the man multiple times that she was switching up her swing, thus slowing down her swing on purpose, but the man cut her off mid-sentence every time.

Instead, he reiterated that he had been golfing for twenty years and continued to coach her.

Ball took a side glance at the camera, as if to say, "Are you hearing this?" But in an attempt to be polite to the man, she listened and affirmed what he was saying before turning back to her spot on the range.

The pro golfer then completed her swing, only for the guy to take credit for her "progress."

"See how much better that was? Keep doing it that way, okay?"

Ball couldn't do anything but laugh and "thank" him for his advice, hopefully ending the already too-long conversation.

Some complimented Ball's restraint but reassured her that she didn't need to be so polite.

Even if the man had the best intentions in commenting on Ball's form, this was a great reminder of the role of unsolicited advice, which is typically very unwelcome.

If you're interested in helping someone, you should ask them if they're interested in receiving advice at that time, rather than immediately forcing your thoughts on them. Otherwise, you might end up like this guy, who clearly had not put his 20 years of golfing to good use.
