PGA Tour professional Steven Bowditch took to Twitter over the weekend to put a heckler (troll) in his place. @Bowdo83, as he’s known on Twitter, has struggled mightily since winning last year at the AT&T Byron Nelson missing 15 cuts this year.
Nonetheless, he’s always kept a unique sense of self-depreciating humor, especially on social media where literally everybody has an opinion. In fact, it’s been a running joke almost every time he goes out if he’s going to break 80. One such troll kept giving Bowditch a hard time, going so far as to say he could beat Bowditch on the course.
Here’s the breakdown:
First, Bowditch gets called out by a kid named Charlie.
@bowdo83 @dyljohnson12 @paulhcormack @CJHale87 we have one thing in common bowditch… we both watched a lot of golf on Sundays at home
— Charlie Croasdale (@Charliecroas) September 9, 2016
The next day, Bowditch challenges him to a match.
@Charliecroas @piltzy68 @jaybruce3 you live in Dallas right? Lets play and see who wins
— Bowdo (@bowdo83) September 9, 2016
There were a few deleted tweets on the heckler’s end, but they settle on a course. Bowditch then asks what his handicap is and is clearly not impressed.
@Charliecroas dude really? A 9? All your shit talking and your a 9? What are we playing for then?
— Bowdo (@bowdo83) September 9, 2016
He then reaches out for a partner…
Ok it’s on. This spoilt rich punk has a partner. I’m looking for mine.. Tomorrow afternoon in Dallas.. Any takers?
— Bowdo (@bowdo83) September 9, 2016
…and another PGA Tour pro, Colt Knost, offers his services.
@bowdo83 @Charliecroas I’ll fly in Bowdo!! I love easy money

Bowditch obviously wants to teach this kid a lesson.
Are you ready for a life lesson? @Charliecroas https://t.co/KTpYxd1sWg

To nobody’s surprise, the kid never showed up.
I guess @Charliecroas went missing but great to play with @OriginalTuna @PaxsonMH @mikeglosier #85andhavingfun! pic.twitter.com/tCE13L43h6

And that’s how you do it in the pros.
