Rickie Fowler, just a week back, faced the mighty Royal Liverpool Golf Course at the last men’s golf major of the year. He finished T23 in the said tournament with a great display of skills. Since then, most professional golfers have been taking time off the course and spending it in their own fashion.

Amid this, the 34-year-old golfer has also found a way to take advantage of his break. The same came forth in the form of a video that the golfer shared on his profile recently which was drowned in humor and advertisement. The hilarity of the incident even brought tears of joy in the eyes of the golf fans. Let us delve into the details of the same!

Unlike how most people might perceive golfers to be serious and impassive, Rickie Fowler hardly would fit into this traditional outlook.

With the post captioned, “One of the few times I’m aiming for the high score. You can never be too prepared, right, @wearefarmers?”, the American golf icon was seen playing the arcade game of Skee Ball in his own style. Accompanied by a club in hand, he could be witnessed hitting the golf ball into the hole with the highest point value of 50.

Rather cheekily, the golfer had added a caption to the video as well. It read, “I never miss a chance to play a few holes.” The words are sure to have brought out laughter from everyone, with how Fowler connected a rather separate matter to his precious love for golf. Though, as the clip ends, the attention of the audience quickly gets transferred to the added detail.

The post very subtly promotes one of golf’s sponsors, Farmer’s Insurance company, along with an insight into the golfer’s leisure time. Even the golf community could not hold back from commenting about the same.

‘I notice you are not using your own putter.’ Golfing community equally hilarious

Undoubtedly, the shot in the third hole on the aisle, was cheeky from the 2023 Mortgage winner but it drew out equally bold as a brass reply from the golf audience. Some of them replied: “How many takes Rickie?” And: “Trop fort Rickie”

Amidst this, a couple of fans sounded content just to watch Fowler deal with the skeeball in his own manner. They commented: “This is awesome!!” And: “Yaass! Get the high score!”

Others loved the cheeky element of the clip as they mentioned, “love that fun”, “Too funny”, and ” Rickie you are the biggest goofball on tour.” Meanwhile, some of the online users were quick to notice the change in the club used by the PGA Tour star. A few of them said, “Couldn’t use the Jailbird”, “I notice you are not using your own putter”, and “New putter alert!”

The witty clip even extracted Fowler’s comparison with Leonardo DiCaprio. Fans couldn’t help but state, “Ngl you look like DiCaprio from Wolf of wall street,” “@Leaondardodicaprio found your twin,” and “You and @Leonardodicaprio should do a funny commercial together.”
