Perhaps you’ve seen this already, but this kid’s behavior is unbelievable. It’s a missed putt by an amateur…. Let it go.

If you’re wondering the kid had to pay the course  $5k for damages

That right there is the perfect example of the negative side of social media. Hope his internet points were worth $5k.

I’d have him arrested. It’s vandalism.

Videos like these are scripted in an attempt to make the performers TikTok heroes. This was likely filmed for a purpose. Hopefully this clip is used as evidence to make the kid pay.

Tik Tok has too many bad role models!

I assume a judge was involved to force the fine and I’m glad he got fined but judge should ban him from social media for 10 years so he can’t profit from the views.

It could be a course where they're going to rip up the greens the next day or something, too. In other words, totally staged.

I don’t think so. The follow up story was that that the Head Pro at Bear Club, where this incident took place, has banned the child in the viral video of his meltdown. The Pro said there will also be “$5,000 of property damage fines” enforced.

That’s one of those troll accounts and I don’t know what “Bear Club” is. It’s not the Bear’s Club by appearances.

Well not my responsibility to prove this is real or fake. I’m just sharing something that the PGA Tour site tweeted and I saw in AppleNews. No way I could say whether or not this is the Bear’s Club by appearances

I didn't say it was. I only said:

You can't believe much of what you see online, particularly on social media sites. Too many "doing it for the engagement" types out there.

He should have to pay:

  1.  The $5000 repair damage

  2.  Pay any and all earnings from social media from posting this video to golf charities 

  3.  pay all court costs associated

  4.  Take Anger management course

Take a closer look at the tweets.  They were not from the PGA Tour.  Look closely at the spelling of the account that posted it: “@PGATuor” and notice the intentional spelling error.  The logo looks similar to the PGA Tour’s logo but it is not their logo.  I initially missed that until @iacaspointed it out.

still, do not know for certain if the video was staged or not.

Staged or not, it was effective. It got the views. Of course if it was real then yes, ban from course, pay for repairs, etc. Like @iacas mentioned, can believe a lot of what you see on social media.

Even if it was staged, he had permission from the head pro, and the green was getting ripped up and redone shortly?

We don't know enough factual information for you to make that judgement, IMO.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By saevel25 · Posted

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
