Sir

You are holding a lightning rod in your hands

Golfers have been struck my lightning because they are holding a club. Don’t do this

If there’s lightning, you don’t mess around with it take it from someone who lives in Florida. Worst place to be is on a golf course.

Sauce Gardner and his growing golf obsession

While he faced a lot of concerning comments from fans on X (Twitter) for his obsessive behavior of playing golf during a thunderstorm, Gardner has truly become obsessed with the sport. Since he has gone public about playing golf on X, his feed has been various golf-related posts.

In fact, a few days ago, he even took to X to talk about the first time he played 18 holes. Moreover, Sauce’s skills on the golf course aren’t just for show. When golf pros were shown his skills on the course, they were surprised by how advanced his skills were for the amount of time he’d been playing.
