We all love golf around here but that doesn’t mean we can’t complain about it.
A Reddit user recently posed a simple question: What is a golf trend you can’t stand?
And, boy, are there some golf trends a lot of us can’t stand. Here are the top answers on that thread.
Playing music way too loudly on the course
The most offered answer had to do with playing music on the course.
While some users conceded that music was acceptable if played at a reasonable volume, a large swath of golfers are fed up with music in general.
The first hole and the 10 hole at my home golf course run parallel to each other. Not that it would be a good shot if your approach on 10 landed on the first green but it’s theoretically possible. Many golf courses have parallel holes or compact layouts. Landing your ball on the wrong green may happen to you. Here’s what to do if you hit the wrong green.
What to do if your golf ball is on the wrong green?
Under Rule 13.1f, if your ball comes to rest on a wrong green or if the wrong green interferes with your stance or swing, you must take free relief. While your golf ball may have the perfect lie on this green, you are still required to take relief. Playing from the wrong green is not allowed.
What counts as interference?
Relief is required when:
Your ball is physically on the wrong green.The wrong green interferes with your stance or area of intended swing.You are not entitled to relief just because the green is near your line of play. You also can’t take relief just because you’d prefer to avoid a green. If interference exists only because you choose a club, stance or direction of play that is unreasonable under the circumstances, you can’t take relief.
Essentially, you can’t exploit the wrong green to your advantage, as it would be unfair.
These top 10 golf videos of the month are starting to feel familiar. In a good way. Bryson DeChambeau grabs a few top spots with his record-breaking and tough golf course testing. Grant Horvat is back alongside the Bryan Brothers and Big Daddy Golf sneaks one in this month. June delivers a solid mix of Oakmont pressure tests, a fun Tommy Fleetwood match and plenty of the chaos we’ve come to expect from the Bryan Bros, Bob Does Sports and the rest of YouTube’s golf crew.
1. The World’s Hardest Golf Course: Oakmont Country Club
Channel: Bryson Dechambeau
Views: 3.7 million
Bryson DeChambeau takes on Oakmont, the course so tough it inspired the invention of the Stimpmeter. With 175 bunkers, rough over five inches deep and greens that send balls rolling back to your feet, Oakmont is the beast of all beasts. In this video, Bryson walks through the course’s brutal design, relives his T-16 finish from 2016 and tests his game ahead of the 125th U.S. Open. If you want a raw look at major championship prep, this is it.
2. Can I Break a Public Course Record in One Try? (Water Everywhere)
Channel: Bryson DeChambeau
Views: 2.8 million
At Waterchase Golf Club, one of the highest-rated public courses in Texas, Bryson DeChambeau sets out with a single goal: to break the course record of 64. These “break the course record” videos are fun if you haven’t seen one. They are typical Bryson with long drives, clutch putts and protein bars all mixed in.
Golf simulators are fun, but let’s be honest, they’re a big investment. One of the best ways to justify that cost is by treating your simulator as more than just a toy. It’s a serious training tool. Whether it’s rainy, too hot or the middle of winter, a simulator gives you the chance to practice when the course doesn’t. For one PGA professional, that extra indoor grind didn’t just improve his game; it earned him a spot in the PGA Championship.
Who is Rupe Taylor?
Rupe Taylor is a 35-year-old PGA teaching professional based in Virginia Beach, Va. He runs “Play Better Now” out of the Virginia Beach National Golf Club where he spends most of his time helping others sharpen their game. When he finds time to work on his swing, it’s often indoors. He has a home simulator running Trackman software.
Taylor isn’t a household name but his story is a perfect example of what can happen when hard work meets modern technology. Despite a full lesson schedule and limited time to play, he’s turned his garage into a proving ground for elite performance.
His journey to the PGA Championship
To earn a spot in the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Taylor needed to finish inside the top 20 at the PGA Professional Championship.
He did just that, placing ninth with a two-under-par total over four rounds, good enough to punch his ticket to a major championship.
