And i realized idk if there’s anywhere that men are more supportive of other men than when a man is worse than them at golf. (Had a few st paddys myself tonight and just wanted to remind you all that i love this community and also if you’re still reading this, CHEERS MATES!

    I love when the boys play good

Transcript

I fucking love when the boys play good. I would never tell them to their face, but when I see one of the boys make a birdie, I get bumped up. I feel like one more of this plays good, we all play good, and all my buddies are supportive as hell. But we don't really talk about it. We just talk shit to each other instead.
