A Man Tried To Mansplain Golf To This UK Professional Woman Golf Player And It’s So Cringe
Georgia Ball is part of the Professional Golfer Association (PGA) and has more than 15 years of experience.
A man tried to give unwanted advice to a professional woman golfer while she was practicing at a range, and women couldn’t believe she had the patience to stand him.
26-year-old Georgia Ball, who is from Liverpool, UK, is part of the Professional Golfer Association (PGA) and has more than 15 years of experience and teaches golf courses for beginners and professionals.
On Feb. 21, Ball posted a video to her various social media accounts showing the incident that has since received millions of views.
“You know I’ve been playing golf for 20 years. What you need to do is follow-through,” the man, who is off screen, told Ball.
Ball tried to explain that she was going through a swing change, but the man insisted that she follow his directions and “just hit one.”
She then hits another ball, but with little difference from her initial shot.
The man then tells her that it was better.
“Laughing in shock at what this guy is saying. This was no better than the one before,” she wrote on the video while looking exasperated at the camera.
When Ball tried to once again explain that she is going through a swing change, the man cuts her off and said, “I’ve been playing golf for 20 years, so you just need to follow through. See how much better that was then? Keep doing that anyway, okay?”
People online said this was a textbook example of mansplaining and were saving the video to explain the concept later.
“She’s a better person than I am because no way could I hold in my reaction” a person wrote on Twitter, also known as X.
When asked why Ball didn’t tell him who she was outright, Ball said in the comments that she had been at a “loss for words” and “shocked” by the entire experience.
