Picture this: Georgia, with her professional poise, is at the driving range perfecting a new swing style when a well-meaning but clueless amateur golfer, boasting two decades of experience, decides to offer her unsolicited advice. Ignoring the irony of the situation, he proceeds to critique her technique, blissfully unaware that he’s schooling a pro on her own turf.

Amidst the awkward exchange, where the gentleman tried to claim credit for Georgia’s subsequent swings, the golf community found a new hero.
