"The man continues to dispense advice, telling her to "follow through" and speed up her swing, before adding: "You know, I've been playing golf for 20 years". [...] She then swings, sending the ball flying in a straight line into the distance. "See how much better that was?" the man remarks. [...]"For me to turn around and say 'I'm a PGA pro'.... it's not in me to do that," she said."

She was very gracious, my wife would have given him the the heavy end of her wok.

Woks are round, dumbass. Which is the "heavy end".

People say this is a sexist "manspaining" thing, but as a dude, I have unsolicited advice shoved on me all the time. By men and women. Some folks are just obnoxious and think they know everything.

This is true, just working on the front yard you get unsolicited comments by every passerby.

There's also a non-zero chance he was hitting on her.

That was my first thought. I mean, looking like that in those pants...

In that context, I bet he's a fat douchebag with the standard douchetee who buys a new driver every year because it's the driver's fault he can't hit it for s&^% despite his "playing" the game for 20 years.

Then how does she avoid the daily impulse to bludgeon your ignorance into non-existence?

Likely an immigration issue.

I rememeber riding an elevator in Vegas many years ago with what I found out were LPGA pros.

NONE of them looked like her! These were muscled up and probably had lumberjack shirts in their suitcases.

Not that there's anything wrong with that ...

I shared this video last week with the wife and daughter (a golfer).

I'll admit that when at the range I sometimes give unsolicited advice to those who have very serious flaws that could be fixed with an easy tip. Those people are typically beginners, out by themselves, and I always start with "May I make a suggestion?" then keep it simple. No need to say anything to experienced players, and almost never do I say anything to a woman, since IMHO nearly any woman out hitting balls is with her guy/gal friend, and knows what she is doing already. Ms. Ball striping an iron shot most certainly produced a great feeling for her...

She demonstrates excellent form and tempo.
