The Three Jack National Golf Club introduced its plan to build a semi-private golf club a while ago. However, the procedure to get a membership is hard. Even the current World No. 1 Jon Rahm, thinks the same. 

The club recently retweeted a post of a writer from Golf Magazine, who tweeted Jon’s comment from an interview, where he said he likes to play golf at a challenging golf course.

At the American Express event, Jon was seen cursing on camera as he felt the course was not built for professional golfers. Jon later explained that he likes to play at a challenging course and not a simple one.

The club took this opportunity to boast about the challenging course they are building. Referring to Jon’s comments, they wrote, “This is literally why we are building this golf course.”

The club has already announced that it will be an exclusive club for the ‘players.’ The only people who can get the membership will be someone who carries a 12-18 index but can play to an 8 when it matters. 

Fans are furious over the comment from Jon Rahm!

As the club posted the tweet to publicize how challenging their course would be, Jon’s witty reply implied it is harder to get a membership from the club. 

Although it might just be a little banter, many fans were left furious about this. They made fun of Jon for acting like he is a nobody when he has the index grade and the money to get a membership at the club.

However, some supported his comment and said that membership is actually hard to get.

Most of the fans were furious about his remarks on the American Express event golf course. As a result, there was no shortage of sarcastic replies.

Some fans indicated that Rahm was indirectly asking for sponsorship from the club.
