Pga Tour Veterans Cheeky Dig At Smith Over Missed Weddings
The Story
Professional golfer Cameron Smith had a wedding to attend, but he decided to skip it to play in the PGA Tour. He had already committed to the event, and he felt that he had to honor his commitment. Some of his fellow players, however, thought that he made the wrong choice. They took to social media to tease him about his decision, and they even went so far as to plan a fake wedding for him to attend.
The Social Media Reaction
The reaction on social media was swift and humorous. Some of Smith's fellow players posted pictures of themselves in wedding attire, pretending to be at the wedding he missed. Others tweeted jokingly about the situation, calling Smith's decision "risky" and "outrageous."
The Fake Wedding
PGA Tour veterans Jim Furyk and Zach Johnson even went so far as to plan a fake wedding ceremony for Smith. They bought a cake and set up a pavilion, complete with a fake bride and groom. They posted pictures of the mock wedding on Twitter, with captions such as "Congratulations to Cameron Smith on making it to the #pgatour event."
The Backlash
Although the reaction from fans and fellow players was mostly lighthearted, there were some who felt that the jokes were out of line. Some people thought that the players should have been more supportive of Smith's decision, and that they shouldn't have made fun of him on social media. Others felt that the PGA Tour veterans were just having a bit of fun, and that Smith should have expected some good-natured ribbing.
Smith's Response
Smith himself seemed to take the jokes in stride. He tweeted a photo of himself on the golf course with the caption "Sorry I'm late to the wedding guys." He also retweeted several of the messages from his fellow players, indicating that he was okay with the good-natured teasing.
The Lesson Learned
In the end, the situation seemed to have blown over. Smith played well in the PGA Tour event and finished tied for 11th place. The incident may have taught him that he needs to weigh his commitments more carefully in the future, but it also showed him that his fellow players have a good sense of humor and that they are willing to have a bit of fun at his expense.
The Conclusion
The PGA Tour veterans who teased Cameron Smith over his decision to skip a wedding in order to play in a PGA Tour event may have been having a bit of harmless fun, but the incident highlights the importance of weighing commitments carefully. It also shows that even professional athletes can have a good sense of humor and that they are willing to tease one another in a lighthearted way. Ultimately, the incident seems to have brought the players closer together, rather than causing any long-lasting harm.
