Who Does This?! I'd Ban Him From the Course

[ChiTown]

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.

[snapfade]

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.
