Have you ever experienced a golfing mishap, where the ball hits something or someone by mistake? This happened to a golfer, whose golf course was near a pathway. Although he was focused on the shot and did swing it well, the ball went a bit too far. It not only hit the path but something else in the way.
The incident came to light in a video that went viral on social media in 2021. The same video has been reposted on October 25 on Twitter / X and has gone viral again. The clip just goes to show what a game of chance golf is, even with the best shot being played.

The golf enthusiast was in for a surprise when his ball went and hit a passing vehicle on the course. It was a golf cart, and someone could have been hurt!
The amateur golfer was a bit taken aback. But he walked back, rolling his golf club. He did not seem too affected. Or at least, did not show it. This behavior has not gone unnoticed by keen golf watchers.
His swing was good, but it happened to go a bit far. While he was preparing for his shot, the golfer did not see the cart. It suddenly came into the picture. If he had heard the cart approaching, he could have waited. This way, he could have followed golf etiquette and not put anyone in danger.

Fans have reacted to the video post on X, with some humor and slight condemnation. Avid golf watchers know the rules of the game.
Goofy Fan Reactions
Golf fans who follow the game closely know what etiquette is to be followed on a golf course. Seeing the rookie golfer’s demeanor, a fan said, “Guy seemed unfazed”. Another wrote, “I wonder if that is a “You are responsible for your golf ball” course?”
Other observers were not too happy with the golfer twirling his club after the shot. A fan demanded, “Did he twirl his club? Lol. Golf jail for him.” While another said, “The little club twirl after he hits it.” A similar common read, “The club twirl at the end.”

One more Twitter user said in jest, “I refuse to pay 600 bucks for a round. 150 for the round and 450 for the window is fine though.” What do you think of the shot? Did the golfer have enough time to stop for the golf cart to pass?
