Jets star cornerback Sauce Gardner has quickly gained popularity on golf Twitter.
The first rule of golf Twitter is to not discuss golf Twitter, but the second rule is even more crucial.
Never, under any circumstances, accept swing advice from golf Twitter.
It seems that Sauce Gardner still has a lot to learn. The 23-year-old standout cornerback for the New York Jets has recently joined the golf community online, and his popularity has skyrocketed. Gardner started playing golf during the NFL, and despite being just two weeks into his golf journey, it’s evident from his social media posts that he has become obsessed with the game.
Earlier this week, Sauce tweeted, “This drive just went 240+ and straight, but it looks like I’m hitting an iron (form wise) and not a driver. Drop tips below,” seeking advice from the internet to fix his golf swing.
The post quickly went viral, attracting responses from numerous individuals in the golf industry who were eager to assist the young star from the Jets. TaylorMade and the PGA of America were among the respondents, offering tips on Gardner’s club setup and form. As a result, Gardner’s game improved, and he even shared video evidence of his first birdie.
In the days that followed, Gardner’s Twitter account became a hub for a wealthy individual with a newfound passion for golf. He revealed his plans to build an indoor golf simulator in his house for playing during the football season, received invitations from various private clubs in the New York area, and even received an invite from Bryson DeChambeau for a personal golf lesson. On Friday morning, he greeted his Twitter followers by sharing his experiences from the previous night.
