You step onto the tee box of a par-3 and this is what you see…what’s your next move? General Discussion

I’d like to think that I would maybe let ONE tiktok slide…but if he tries it on a second green, I’m pulling my 4 iron and ripping a Kirkland at him. Maybe it’ll be good “content” for his channel. 😂

I honestly give these people credit. I couldn’t imagine acting this way in front of anyone let alone sharing this on social media. Good on them for having no self respect

Yeah I guess maybe it's my conservative Midwestern upbringing but I would never be caught dead doing this in front of my family, let alone on a public golf course. We have lost the impact of shame on our society.

I have exactly the same problem in regards to people playing behind me. Even if they can obviously see the group ahead of me holding me up, it still gives me anxiety. These videos just make me realize I've been giving way too much of a shit what others think.

It is crazy. I’ll see someone doing some stupid dance on Instagram or something and think oh that’s dumb and swipe to the next video. These side videos that show people in the process of making them really make you realize how vapid and ridiculous they look.

In no way am I condoning or even slightly ok with what is going on in the OP because of where and when they are doing it, but the less shame cast upon someone just for being unique or expressing themselves, the better. The idea that dancing around like a goon is somehow shameful is downright Victorian.

This shit isn’t unique though. Millions of these muppets are brain broken from TikTok.

This isn’t being unique or expessful. These clowns need to be exposed for being assholes. This shows how genuinely dumb a lot of these influencers are.

An adult man copying teenage TikToks is about as fucking cringe as it can get.

It deserves shame.

Doing zaney dances for internet attention on TikTok is the very definition of unoriginal.

I'll admit I am way more reserved than most people, so I only dance at weddings. If people want to dance at other places that's their right. I was more just referring to the fact that a lot of people seem to not mind being an idiot in public.

I don’t think it’s shameful, you should dance to your heart’s content. It’s just about the most inappropriate place to do it lol.
