PGA Pro golfer “corrected” by player of 20 years

Following on from the unsolicited parking advice thread, and the National Trust volunteers not being able to pick up on social cues thread, has anyone seen the video of the lovely Georgia Ball a PGA Pro golfer receiving unwelcome advice at the driving range? It is so painfully cringe.

She’s minding her own business and the man in the next bay just butts in to teach her! She politely tries to shut him down a couple of times but he won’t leave her alone until she basically acknowledges his advice is right and she’ll accept it.

I think it’s a bit sad a woman can’t mind her own business and practice her sport in peace. Telling that this man just won’t listen. And a bit of an example as to why some women don’t like going to practice sports or go to the gym alone.

I hope he’s thorough ashamed of what an absolute muppet he is, and his family and friends give him a bit of a grilling for being such a grade A twat.

I meant to say... I'm middle aged and whilst not unattractive, I haven't been hit on in a loooong time.

David Bailey ? Who's he ?

I think the pp is asking who was filming. I'm guessing she just has her phone or a go pro set up to record so she can review her practice afterwards.

Yes! Saw it yesterday. It was awful.
But she had ample opportunity to explain who she was and why she didn’t need his advice. Women have to stand up for themselves in these scenarios. She thanked him in the end so no wonder he didn’t learn.

This is a bit naive. She was already trying to explain what she was doing (practicing swing change) and he just repeatedly spoke over the end of her sentences.

If she'd done as you suggest, he'd hardly have said "Oh I do apologise, I didn't realise, please carry on and sorry again for disturbing you."

It’s a classic mansplaining / made ego that can’t handle her being better than them. There are so many men like this in the world sadly.

I find it cringey to watch partly because she doesn’t say anything or shut him down. I know he keeps speaking over her but she is very timid about it all. Not her fault but she’s brave enough to put the encounter on TikTok, it’s a shame she’s not brave enough to say something at the time.
