The Context:

A user posts a video of a golfer drunkenly confronting another during play to /r/golf.

The conversation quickly turns dramatic and Redditors debate the context of the video, if this is a problem only in America, and if alcohol should be banned from courses.

The Drama:

Is this a uniquely American phenomenon?

>Playing Golf in America summed up.

I have never seen anything close to this on a GC. If you don't like America, leave or never visit. Moron!

21 down votes? More anti-american reddit. Go protest in Michigan and shout "Death to America" like they did.

I have golfed all over the US and probably over 1k rounds and never seen a verbal argument. All but maybe 20 rounds are at city public courses.

Stop crying, dumbass in the hat.

Are we sure it's anti-American to downvote your comment? Or is it possible we're just downvoting you for that tacky-butt “like it or leave” bullshit.

Snowflake

[Continued:]

There was about a billion percent chance you were going to call someone a snowflake at some point, here.

>

You call it consistent, we call it predictable.

You prove my point.

Anyone who disagrees with you should leave the country and I'm the snowflake? lol Jesus Christ, dude.

[…]

I did leave lol. I've Golfed all over the world and only ever seen this type in America 🤷‍♂️ the drinking culture on the course is unlike anything anywhere in the world.

Insults are made:

>wtf is going on in america?

Wanna know what's going on? We have idiots as leaders..And we have no one worth a darn to set any examples.

330 million in the U.S. and the best we can do are two old men who have both lost their minds.

And this has just trickled down into society for the last 20+ years.

No one gets disciplined as a youth because God forbid we offend someone . So people now think they do whatever, whenever and have no idea how to actually live in a society.

Hey . You asked....

People don't disagree where you're from? All rainbows and butterflies in the imaginary country you live? Frick off.

Looooooool touched a nerve there did I 😂😂😂😂😂😂

No I just think you're a dipshit and wanted you to know.

You sound tremendously happy, really glad you're enjoying your life 🤣🤣😘😘🤣🥳🥳

[Continued:]

Spamming emojis like a dipshit as well as

Another has a proposal:

>Ban alcohol on golf courses.

Hey now… just because this butt hat did this doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to enjoy a beer or two during a nice round!

It's not just one person though, is it?

And for those of us that actually enjoy golf, we're not drinking anyway. It would quickly remove the people no one wants on the course.

So you can't enjoy golf and have a drink? You're just as bad as the guy in the video.

>Genuinely dont understand Americans and drinking whilst golfing, do they need to play the sport and drink at the same time? Why not play the round and get pissed after?

1. ⁠Because it's not a “sport” for most of us. It's a fun game to play with your buddies on a Sunday.

1. ⁠If you drink after, it's not safe to drive home. But if you drink a few on the front 9, you have 2 hours to sober up on the back.

This is moronic, alcoholic logic, btw.

Are people gatekeeping?

>Stop trying to gate keep golf. Let the game grow. Just ban douches like this from the course.

Can't have both. Douchebags like this multiply like cockroaches.

Just ban douches like this from the course.

Oh so the thing they said

Banning a bozo here and there isn't really shrinking the game. When I hear "shrink the game" I think of all the people I've heard bitching about the new popularity it's getting. It's like people don't want it to grow as a sport

Epstein is invoked:

>Low class, huh? Keep that class shit in the 17th century, man. I don't remember the last time a bunch of builders had their own private island where they went to r*pe people.

Ok snowflake. What's the PC term I should have used? Class challenged? Manners Marginalized?

Decency Vulnerable?

I'm not very good at coming up with fake labels that mean the same thing as the previous label that was replaced but sounds nicer to people with weak sensibilities.

I think I just misunderstood what you meant by low class.

Indeed.

A small slapfight breaks out over grammar:

>a true kitty is a body part. the more you know.

Actually it's just another word made up for that body part. Just like all words.

The more you know

i mean, fricking duh, dude. be gone with you: you failed to teach.

Grow up

Banning alcohol on courses is again raised:

>Alcohol before playing or on the course should be an instant removal and barred from the course for life

wtf are you talking about that is a terrible take

It's not crazy golf this is a proper course. You shouldn't be drinking when playing

Man this is the dumbest shit I have ever heard. This is like saying drinking while fishing should be banned

Mate you play a round you mark your card for tour handicaps how do you think if affects that?

And who drives you home? Taxi or is there one guy designated driver? Doesn't he always win?

We're talking shots of whiskey on a golf course? Insane

I don't care about a tour handicap lmao I don't drive either. I go to have fun. As long as people play fast I don't care if they smoke crack on the course. Grow up.

I've been playing more than 40 years and never seen anyone take a shot while playing

It's clear what the immature mentality is here

One user calls the subject of the video overweight. Another disagrees:

>He's not fat though.

I mean he's clearly overweight.

You have insane standards.

It's not my standards. His BMI is clearly overweight. He has noticeable fat

Most people have BMIs that make them "overweight" but you wouldn't call them fat. Today's beauty standards are stupid.

[Continued:]

Nah, its not todays beauty standards. Youre right. I wouldnt listen to little steroids boy with a picture of his abs as his pfp lmao.

Is the video lacking context?

>I absolutely love when grown men get so angry that they end up in a high pitch yell or lose their breath and let out some inaudible bs as they go completely out of breath.

I love how trolls don't give a shit as to what proceeded this outrage.

it must be nice to pick and choose when to care about what the initial mover might have been.

Judging by the fact that all his friends are just trying to hold him back, while the others remain back at the tee. I would say the offense was not worth this level of retaliation.

Yeah, your comment is equivalent of screaming at clouds it's based on absolutely nothing

Reddit loves to edit down to videos to shit post for fake points

The Flairs:

• “If you're a b-word on the inside it doesn't matter how hard you hit.“

• “a true kitty is a body part”

• “Fireball is whiskey for people who kick dogs”
