What's the sneaky best part of making a hole-in-one (not that I would know)? Sharing it on social media so everyone can congratulate you! Or, at least, pretend to congratulate you. Some of us aceless golfers are quite bitter!
But one man didn't exactly get the reaction he was expecting from Golf Twitter. Because of what else appeared in the photo.
PGA of America professional Steve Scott, AKA the guy who almost stopped Tiger Woods from winning three consecutive U.S. Amateurs back in the day, tweeted out the photo of the smiling man in that familiar pose of holding up his golf ball while pointing one finger to the sky.
