The whole thread is in the article below, I'd embed the tweets, but delusional high schooler has since protected his tweets. It starts with him saying he could beat Steven Bowditch, winner of two events, by 5 or something like that. Bowditch challenges him to put his money where his mouth is and the rest is kind of anticlimactic, but some ams lucked out and got to play with Bowditch. De. Lu. Sion. Al.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

That's pretty stinking awesome! I live in Dallas as well, maybe I should hit him up for a round? Heck if I'd known about this then I would have definitely headed out to Tour 18 around 2pm just see what happened. Dang! Coulda been one of the 3 maybe that got to play with him.

Kid was probably trolling. He must not have more than 20,000 followers if he replies to randoms. Pro athletes must get hundreds of trolls per day

Bowditch has 7834 followers.

You're in Dallas? :~( Ummm, sure I can play you. :cry: Sorry. I can't play you. I'm grounded. 

Maybe I should call out some of the pros down here. I may not be on tour or even a single digit, but I think I could take them.

I met Steven Bowditch a year ago. Nice guy and super talented. The 320 yard range was not long enough for him. 

There are a number of reasons a pro can struggle. Injury is number one and they don't often tell the press about it. Golf is hard and being just a little off can be a huge challenge on Tour.

I know, right. If they haven't been winning on tour recently, they're easy pickins. I'll run up my credit card now and can pay it off with the winnings. 

We are talking putt putt, right? :8)

Twitter has it's uses, but it's a terrible platform because it allows people to be anonymous.   It just encourages miserable or hateful people to troll.   A golf writer is a member at my club and he feels the same way.  When someone is anonymous they just are hateful.   If someone disagrees with him he gets horrible things thrown his way.

So who else hiere is one of  the other 7,833 followers?
I started following Bowditch after NLU retweeted some of his stuff. He has a very self-depreciating sense of humor, and is fun to follow as he interacts well in the twittersphere.

Players play, tough players win!

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      Got your hopes up a bit too high only to have them dashed today? A feel "expired"?

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
