As soon as the tweet came to light, golf Twitter turned mad, with fans from all corners of the earth reacting to the prank. Moreover, a few fans could not guess it, while others could easily make it out, giving a funny reaction to the tweet.
I'm going to put it right on the line. There's been a lot of complaints already. Fooling around on the course, bad language, smoking grass, poor caddying. If you guys want to get fired. If you want to be replaced by golf carts, just keep it up.

Posted on April fool day. Date on the memo says 3/31/2022. Now the real argument is it real or a joke.
