- Golf coach and PGA professional Georgia Ball, who goes by @georgiagolfcoach on social media, was recording a video of herself at the driving range when she was given unsolicited advice.
The clip has since gone viral, with the uncomfortable encounter highlighting just how important it is to mind your own business.
Georgia, who has 173,000 followers on Instagram, was recording herself working on her game and striking the ball down the range when an unseen man to her left felt the need to try and fix her swing.
Georgia calmly turned to the man after he said "excuse me", and showed incredible patience after he told her what she was doing was completely wrong.

The funny part is that the dude went home proud of having helped someone (or so he thought). Imagine his reaction at seeing this! 😂😂
Oh he knew what he was doing, it was obvious that she doesn’t want to interact with him and he continued bothering her, he even took credit for something she did😂
I’m glad he saw this
@@Commentator488 beleive it or not many don't. They honestly think they are helping even though they cant break 120. It was more ignorance than malice
I know a lot of people with 20 years experience I wouldn't want advice from.
Yea it's not just how much experience you have, it's also your approach to life, some people are constantly learning from their experiences and trying to improve all the time, but most people are egotistic and proud, and think they are already experts when they know only a little. More experience means someone has had more chances potential to grow and learn, but it means nothing if they lived like idiots.
Most older golfers have no idea how ugly their swing looks
@@CH-sr1js I was hoping you hadn't noticed. 😂
I've been eating food for over 30 years and i literally choked the other day because I took too big of a bite.
Many people have more than 20 years experience for being human but no one wants to hear their eldersplanning.
Embarrassing for him and she dealt with it like the true professional she is.
I remember a bloke in the gym trying to tell me where to put my feet on the exercise bike. I ignored him and then I could see he was looking over at my screen, and trying to out-ride me. I was fresh from Lands End to John O Groats so I casually put the hills on, sped up a bit, and proceeded to make him almost have a self-induced heart attack.
😂
Well done for behaving like you are primary school 😂
@@adamsosa you mean well done on knocking his arrogance down a peg and teaching him to not offer unsolicited advice through mansplaining? Yeah I agree. 😊
@@chrisn1208 All she did was show she could work out well on her own. Should she have gone slow to make his ego feel better?
@@sashathayer6382I think he meant what was said.
This woman has a future in comedy, now or after her golfing career, her timing and expressions, priceless........ cracked me up, Georgia Ball hats off to you...
I love two things about this - first, she doesn't hit him with the club and second, her look at the camera that has, condensed into a millisecond, an eye roll and 'wanker'. Also my first time of experiencing mansplaining so thank you for posting.
I’ve also been playing golf for 20 years and I would just keep my mouth shut and admire her hitting ability.
I was admiring more than that!
Simps
@@adamsosa
Incel
"Hitting ability" I see what you did there 🤭
Unsolicited advice is unsolicited advice, whether it's from an amateur or a world class coach. She didn't ask for his advice and he didn't listen when she explained why she was swinging the way she was.
She laughed and smiled it off. What a star. The internet is way too sensationalist about any little "micro aggression"
He most likely thought it was a way for him to start up a conversation with her and used it as an icebreaker to talk to her. He realized it was a bad move got stuck in it and then played it off as him helping.
@@Tschida2004I believe so
@@Tschida2004Yeah right 😂
but look how well she hit the ball after his advice!
What a total professional and nice person. She could of said something but let it go and just smiled. She's ace!
She knew it was being filmed and would post it later. Just look at what she's wearing - total narcissistic.
@@booishoois309 She's filming it because she's working on her swing, just as all pro's do. The unsolicited advice from the guy was the narcissistic part of this video. Get a grip mate.
@Leroyturner720 How does pointing out a fact make me a boomer? Judging by your profile picture you’re an actually boomer. 🤡
If she’d let it go she wouldn’t have posted in on Tik Tok for the world to see. She’s a horrible arrogant person.
@@joshuajethro Why not post it? Arseholes like him deserve to be shamed for making such stupid and narcissistic moves on people. On a woman no less who happens to be a PGA pro. Good on her!!
She was WAAAAY to polite. How bout, "Hey STFU and let me, the PRO, practice!"
My daughter is a CLASS 1 HGV driver, with years of experience driving around the UK and Europe.
Not a day goes by without some random man mansplaining how to park her truck, despite probably never driving anything bigger than a Berlingo themselves 😂
Women are no strangers to unsolicited advise (the non-sexist term for “mansplaining”), either.
Men like to give unsolicited advice on sports and cars. Women do it with cooking and childcare.
Hey Folksie, The "CLASS 1 HGV driver" Does Calloway make that?
@@MOUNTAINMANJJ
Driver….that’s good 🤣
@@7oy sorry love, you've spelled advice incorrectly, hope you don't mind my unsolicited comment.
@@ruzziasht349 actually, your comment isn’t all that uncalled for given that we’re in a public comment section.
Everyone makes typos.
THE KEY takeaway and/or lesson here is the man has "been playing golf for 20 years".
Yep,I've been playing golf 20 years and I'm still mediocre at best lol
For me it was how much tighter can she get her yoga pants. I could read her lips. ;D
The key takeaway is that no one cares
I’ve been playing golf for 20 years. I’m terrible. So much fun though. My playing companions know better than to “coach” me when we play. This woman handled this a million times better than I would have. Just out of curiosity, does everyone out there know what you can do with your unsolicited advice? Yes that’s right you can shove it…Well done ma’am!
I think this is the same fella that taught George Best how to do keepie uppies. Then he had a word with Federer about his backhand swing.
Now that is funny!
What a clown. Dude felt like a hero..clip goes viral..immediate zero
Please what is the name of the place dude taught Georgia how to swing
Lets not take any lessons from him on how NOT to behave ( good intentions aside ).
lets take a big life lesson from her, on politeness, modesty, and consideration of other peoples feelings. She at one point stopped herself making a comment that she thought may have made him feel bad. And that's despite him at least 3 times ignoring her explanation of her going through a swing change.
I wonder how many blokes he’s helped on the range 🤔
He's not gay like you
Men don't put up with that bullshit so probably none.
Probably still there now telling them about 20 years
The most "who asked?" moment I've seen this year
She was too nice!
Not only was it unsolicited advice, but he even at one or two stages just outright interrupted Georgia as she was explaining about the swing change. He then even tried telling her what to do. "Just hit one".
She had the patience of a saint and smiled/ laughed it off. What a star.
Would take Georgia's advice every day of the week.
It’s pretty bizzare .. The guys comes across as condescending given that he didn’t let the lady speak.. Also oblivious to the fact she was striping the ball down there at will.🤣 🎯
Even if shes was duffing them 5ft I’d sill ask “How you doing, what are you working on ?” never just assume..
Considering he didn't listen to a word SHE was saying Georgia was enviably cool. Respect to her. Though to his credit he has been playing for 20 years so definitely knows best and she should flipping well listen! Immediate improvement. 😊
I do hope that last sentiment was sarcasm.
Of course.
Now this is a genuine case of actual mansplaining. Annoying.
PS her second shot looked true af
Oh please she was filming this - who knew what the interaction was like before the video clip or after
He tried to help...? He saw bad form and assumed a newbie, so gave input. No harm came of it. Calling it "mansplaining" is pure sexism, him being a man has no relevance on this encounter. Maybe from now on, when a woman crashes a car, we should call say she engaged in a bit of "womancrashing"? Because that's just typical of women, right? It's not sexist in the slightest, right? Does the logic transfer or transmute?
@SpaaaaceMaan oh trust me I HATE the reaching a lot of people do to say something is sexist or mansplaining as much as the next guy. My point is just this looks like an actual case of it. It's likely little to do with her being a woman too, he probably just likes to stick his nose in. It's still mansplaining
@@SpaaaaceMaan
Lol, men get in much more crashes then women
It’s mansplaining because we see men explaining periods to us, lol
And he was bothering her, she was minding her own business
@@matthewm7867she’s always filming! But she films a lot of content like drills and advice videos, so it’s not unusual that she’d be filming when this random interaction happened. Also it’s not unusual to film your swing either even if you’re just Joe blog - I do it all the time to see where I’m going wrong so it’s feasible it isn’t a “set up” shot
How the heck did she stay so polite. A true pro.
Years ago i was on the range hitting 5 draw shots, 5 fades then 5 straight ones with my 4 iron when the guy in the bay next to me was constantly giving me unwanted advice, saying my grip was wrong, i was taking it back wrong, i shouldn't be using blades and my alignment was off which was why my shots were going different directions. I said they went exactly where i wanted as I'm working on shaping the ball, he then said but you'll struggle to break 80 with blades and a swing like that though.( It is quite ugly but it works)That's when my friend pulled some score cards out my bag and said here's his last 3 rounds. (70/ 68/ 68) -2 to -4. But thanks for the advice...He didn't say a word after that, but proceeded to hook his driver 200 yrds. We couldn't help but laugh.
Nobody gets more free, unsolicited advice than a woman at a driving range.
Or a woman doing anything
@chillwill5080 It always baffles me when someone posts a comment like this without realizing how sexually frustrated and defeated it makes them sound.
Sooooo true! I’ve had a guy reach over the partition and takes balls, as if I wasn’t even swinging and visible. Just reached down and took a handful of balls.
I work as a paramedic since 2009 and IT-Professional since 2011. There's barely a week without mansplaining....
Nothing more annoying at the golf range than some “random” interrupting to give “advice”. We all know most folk are crap at golf. No matter how long they’ve been playing. Maybe ask first if she wanted his advice rather than just arrogantly giving it. Advice was wrong anyway as it nearly always is!! She told him several times she was going through a swing change. He ignored her completely. So ignorant, arrogant and annoying. She handled him so well.
He obviously doesn’t know what a swing change is.
I have been casually playing golf for 15 years and can barely keep my rounds under 85. If 20 years is his only credentials that's pretty weak lol
Here's what also probably happened. The guy is clearly trying to flirt with her. Any chance to strike up a conversation and chat to her. I am sure that is partially motivated by the fact that he is staring at her ass and she is wearing skin tight pink/uhh nude colored tights on the range. I do not care what she wears to the range or anywhere else but those will get noticed out there not the most common setting for that. Go ahead and roast me you know it's true. I am not excusing his 'mansplaining' I am just commenting on the situation as to his possible motivations. I think after it appeared she was not interested in his advice he should take that as a hint and leave her alone.
Why don't we just call it arrogant people offering unsolicited advice?
The guy actually wanted to impress her by acting superior. I can already see that guy without seeing him. That one was an unattractive man with a god complex and no social skills. Should be locked up before he commits a crime
Because it’s not
@@MrSimonsonIf not, what is it?
@@paulhough5941 a genuine person who’s trying to offer what he thought was helpful advice
Why don’t we call it what it is instead?
If he had listened, to the part of the DIALOG, what SHE was saying, he might have got a clue, that this woman knows what she is doing. But unfortunately, many people, who thinks, they know it all, do not pay any attention, to what others may have to say … that is the ground problem of many issues 🤷🏼♀️
I'm surprised to see so many misogynistic comments about her trousers on here. The irony, when it's on a video about man-splaining is not lost on me 😂. I think she may have chosen those trousers because they show leg positioning during a swing, which is good information when you're teaching.
😂😂 😂
She's awesome, clearly a very nice person. I'm the same with unsolicited advice if it is well intended. I even pump their ego with "hey that's good advice! Thank you!" They leave feeling good, but they leave - win all round!
...or using her skill to hudwink and embarress others...you choose.
I wish she'd asked "what do you play off" ? And when he said "I used to be about 14 but now I'm 18", she could have said, "Great. I play off scratch. I can give you some advice if you'd like. As a PGA instructor I charge £X0 per lesson. "
Except that type of man would get aggressive which is why women have to be polite to that type of man
What if he'd said he played off scratch and used to be a pro to a very decent standard ?
@leebryantravels then he would have said I am a scratch player or a pro instead of 20 years player
@@leebryantravelsHe wouldn't have though, because if he was, that would have been part of his 'I've been playing for more than 20 years' speech. Absolutely guaranteed with not a shred of doubt.
@koala20001 she didn't say she was pga instructor pro zero handicap........
@@leebryantravels
There’s no “what if” he repeated few times that he “plays for 20 years” lol
A lesson for us all. Georgia took the ‘advice’ with exceptionally good grace and listening to her this morning on Radio 4 she clearly has a warm , generous disposition .
The chap obviously thought that he was , in his own way , being kind and will have gone away from the encounter feeling good about himself and what is wrong with that .
How refreshing to view this conversation as opposed to the thousands of similar one to ones which take place on a daily basis which don’t go as well .
she later told him who she was or so?
Next time IF he ever sees her again, He should be asking her for advice... not giving 20 years of bad advice!
worst part even if he is trying to be helpful he just cuts her off mid sentence.... the worst.
She is incredibly humble and gracious…..he could not conclude that she has excellent swing mechanics…..
Nothing more humble and gracious than posting this on tik tok to show the world instead of just going on with her day
"I've been (insert anything here) for 20 years"- broadcasting your experience to prove how much better you are; sign of a small skillset and huge ego.
Jesus whats wrong with people here? I bet he had good intent and just wanted to help. Why didn't she just tell him who she was and what she was doing followed up by that? You don't think he would listen and it would convince him then? I bet he's super happy sharing his 20 years of knowledge with people especially after seeing something he - AS A COACH - thinks is wrong. Imagine that in the gym, seeing somebody doing something dangerously wrong and you don't help prevent an upcoming accidental injury because that is the same mindset you all have in the comments here. Bet you would be so proud of yourselves then for not giving that "unsolicited advice". People need to practice socialing outside the net more. He should have asked first if he could give advice instead of just giving it but she could've responded way smarter.
"Hi there I'm a professional PGA player, I know what I'm doing, just practicing a swing change, but thanks for the kind thought"
Takes 5 seconds and would disarm the conversation straight away.
Let's find this guy and get him & Georgia to play a quick 9.
Then maybe she can repay him with some tips?
I think we need to stop being so polite to these jerks.
That one was a thirsty, creepy guy who has no self awarness and is potentually an abuser or even a psychopath. Normally these are called incels, creeps. He actually wanted to flirt with that woman but used such a wrong way that you could easily say that this is a freak. If the guy on the video reads this, seek medical help
I think you’re reading a bit much into this. Psychopath? Or just a pompous man talking down to a woman?
How she kept it together and still be so nice is incredible.
Lmao.. great stuff.. i hate golf but this is so good..😂
U kept your cool and i was rolling!!!
Her patience was legendary. I hope this twerp has seen this and is re-evaluating his arrogance. Sure, be helpful, but the second she explained why she was deconstructing her swing that should have been enough. I love the complete flex when she made the shot normally, booooom. 🙂
Ha ha, so funny, how has he looked at that swing I thought, I can improve this with my knowledge. The swing looked a million dollars anyway and her striking was fantastic...what a berk
This happens to a lot of golfers. Unsolicited advice from a random stranger. Stroke of luck it was caught on camera.
Does anyone know how long the guy has been playing golf
I would never make a comment about someone else’s swing. I’m amazed that anyone can have that level of arrogance.
It would be cool if he came forward, apologised for not listening, and she gave him a free lesson now.
Lol!!!! She was most gracious. If the man knew she was a professional he was just being an asshole.
She is very gracious
You just know that normal people would have just been super impressed with the way she hits the ball. Two ways of looking at it. Ok he might just have been being friendly and trying to be helpful but the other way is that it was basically harassment. An uncomfortable watch indeed but the vast majority of golfers are level headed and peaceful sorts of people. Do we describe someone like that as a male range pest? Makes you feel like suggesting that ranges should put up a notice saying "Please respect the privacy of other players when they are hitting balls on the driving range. Thank you"
Normal people also would have just brushed off some know it alls advice - she posted it on tik tok.
I hope he sees this video. He automatically assumed he was better than her for whatever reason.
Younger, prettier, more talented, more polite, female and savvy
@chillwill5080 Then he shouldn't have kept cutting her off when she was trying to explain what she was doing.
Clear off creep @chillwill5080
This is actually infuriating to watch. I've seen her videos on Instagram and her tips are fantastic. This woman knows what she's doing.
Golfers, especially professional golfers are so polite.
She put this on tik tok for clout
Georgia I've been playing golf for 71 years.......please take his advice 😂😂
Imagine playing in a four ball with him!!!
All the Gear but no idea.
Um, that guy has obviously never seen a pro strike the ball before.
The poor guy was probably admiring her and thought it was safe to talk golf, let's say for example she was on the pull like most people at Ranges (joke) she could say.... "oh I'm a bit low on confidence, would you come and show me how to do it" , then they could hold hands and go in slow motion to the 1st, 2nd and maybe even the 3rd hole with seedy 70's Golfing music over dubbed.
I have been lifting weights for a long time. One day a guy was watching me and offered me a bit of advice. Best advice I ever got. She could have taken the opportunity to have a discussion. Who knows, she may have learned a tip or two and even improved her swing.
I doubt it. Most people don’t understand the effect of their swing advice. If you don’t understand how to properly swing the club (most people don’t know how), then you shouldn’t give unsolicited advice.
@baronveros303 I never said I was. I don’t give swing advice to anyone. My point is your average amateur doesn’t know what they’re talking about when it comes to swing mechanics.
Are you the guy in the video? 😂
C’mon guys, 20 years of experience just walked right out of Top Golf. You’ve gotta chase him down and milk him for some of that “knowledge”.
prob trying to chat her up. or drunk. or both. either way she handled crass with class. full marks
He needed an excuse to be standing and staring at that angle. I would have done the same thing and I know NOTHING about golf or swinging
Exactly! I'd offer that chick advice and I have no idea how to hold a golf racket or hit the cue ball.
Golfers just cant help themselves can they 🤣 On the very rare occasion someone asks me for advice I always end it with the good old "remember, this advise is worth about as much as you paid for it" 🤣🤣
When i started playing i asked a really good player about ball positions and he said keep it simple ,wedges/ short irons -ball inline with right nut, mid irons, ball inline with d***, long irons -ball in line with left nut and make small adjustments if needed. Made me laugh but it got me down to + handicap at one stage so it did work😄😄 unfortunately im off 5 now thanks to injuries and age😭😭😭 dont give advice unless its asked.
Every person on the planet, who has lived more than 20 years, has 20 years experience doing something.
Experience, however, can be both good and bad, doing something a long time does not automatically make you good at it, if it did we would have many more champions.
Hello please can someone help me with the name of where this fella thought Georgia how to swing ? I need the name of this place Thanks
Not creepy at all.
Its fine. He was nice enuff and she took it in stride. Should have said "actually this is how we do it on the tour".
This “gentleman” was hitting on this girl in the guise of golf advice. I have no doubt he could see how good she was. Offering advice was never the point. Getting laid was.
That dude lucky AF it's only his voice on video 😂
Her patience is admirable
Check what she wearing , she wanted to video herself . He was just the perfect reason for her to show it .
Georgia Ball is a saint.
@EnzoAzra Were you by any chance the jerk who thought he could give her a lesson?
Total class! And she was filming it all; she knew how this would turn out.
She was thinking of the $$ she would make off of it - phony
Or maybe filming her new swing to analyse it? So yes I agree she was trying to moneytise it. What with her being a Pro golfer@@matthewm7867
@@matthewm7867 How could she possibly make any money off of a social media video? As a PGA professional do you seriously think money is a concern for her? Get a grip.
Golfers working on their swing often film themselves.
@@ibanezman04 Ibanezman, "get a grip" I see what you did there : - )
Unreal
What a total absolute berk. Prat. How you had the patience not to put him in his place….beautiful swing!
The real question is why a professional would chose not to wear a glove, the advantages are well documented……please debate.
An old guy with nothing better to do. Someone should tell him to mind his own business. She is such a class act.
@chillwill5080simp
@THM why did he have to give unsolicited advice?
Cringe - what is going on in these people's heads ? Well done Georgia for dealing with this clown in such a well mannered professional way, think he'd have been leaving wearing a 3 iron as a necklace if it was me. Then again he has been playing for 20 years, I bet he's still off 20 though.
I don't think this was staged, but obviously a big boom for her brand🤔
I've been playing golf for 20 years...still can't hit my driver straight. Do not listen to a damn thing I say, even if you ask for my advice
I want one of those wall plaques that say " It takes a lot of balls to golf like I do "
It’s always disappointing when women THANK the mansplainer. Ayayay.
Chances are he gave the 'advice' not because of her swing - but because of her looks - it was probably just a way to initiate conversation. 🤣🤣🤣
Why is it at pro golf tournaments these people need total absolute silence to concentrate, but professional quarterbacks have to make a split second decision with absolute accuracy with what sounds like WW3 going on in the background just before 1,000 to 2,000 lbs. of weight comes crashing down on top of them.
They're different sports. Hitting a golf ball well is 100% technical so quiet concentration is important
He had no clue who she was!😂
Neither would most people tbf. It’s not like she’s Tiger Woods famous.
She maybe had no clue who he was........
Georgia Ball.. Not Hall 👀
@@7oy
Tiger is much older and has much longer career
Reminds me of when everybody laughed at me when I used a 3-iron on a dog leg right hole-one and nailed it. Silence.
Give a thumbs up if you've ever had a woman do the exact same thing.
I learned pretty early on in golf, never to give unsolicited advice. Wise men don't need it, and fools don't heed it. There are so many ways to swing a golf club that a layman's advice is most likely to be very ill-fitting.
I believe it's less about mansplaining, and not so much a sexism issue. It's more that some people (both men and women) are often so arrogant and self-assured that they frequently impose their criticism and advice on others (both men and women). It's crucial to differentiate between general character issues and sexism
Not to mention that the concept of "mansplaining" is a sexist term which denigrates men.
The guy was actually Phil Mickelson and she should have listened (and wore appropriate pants).
Bet you a nickel he wasn’t! And there’s nothing wrong with her pants, just your imagination!
Close your eyes
@jtpalooki7757 it's a driving range, not a strip club.
@@Kevin-jp9sy
You obviously have never been to strip club, she has clothes on, she’s not naked
Literally an argument between two Meeseeks.
Sorry I was focussing on something else, whats the issue here?
should be banned, can you imagine if we did it😅
Yes, has happened to me at the gym. Man aggressively instructing me on how to run on a treadmill. You have to be polite, in case hits you. Joys of being a woman 🤷🏼♀️
You are kind and gracious. Thank you 😊
Better be glad he didn’t show up on camera… he’d never live it down… and if I were his friend, I’d never let him 🤣
Ive been golfing for 20 years too and i know my swing doesnt look even close to that smooth and on-plane...
I'm a man and I remember countless interactions in gym when some random dudes had the urge to correct my technique. Was that mansplaining too ? The point is. Some guys are just annoying like that and most of the time it has nothing to do with gender.
