Female Pro Golfer Stunned After Being Advised How to Hit Ball at Driving Range
A female professional golfer and coach was left surprised when a fellow driving range attendee appeared to explain how to hit the ball.
With the 2025 Ryder Cup upon us, fans are gearing up for a classic battle between Europe and the US.
Keegan Bradley will lead the American team while Englishman Luke Donald will be Europe’s captain.
The 45th edition of the biennial competition promises to be as exciting as ever, with the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood all looking to make their mark on the competition.

South Africa-born Englishman Justin Rose will also feature in what will be his seventh Ryder Cup, having made this year’s team on points rather than via a captain’s pick.
Rose recently filmed content with female golf coach, content creator and PGA-certified professional, Georgia Ball, who will also be in attendance at the Ryder Cup according to her Instagram.
From watching @JustinRose99 on TV as a junior golfer, to filming alongside him today… such a surreal moment! ⛳️🤩🏌️♂️

Ball boasts millions of followers on her various social media platforms and has several viral coaching videos with big names.
However, in February 2024, one man at a driving range was oblivious to who Ball was.
A video circulated on social media during which a man approached Ball before appearing to offer her tips on her swing.
Ball then repeatedly attempted to explain how she was purposely stopping her swing early before the man replied: “You should not be doing that”.
He added: "You should be right through your swing and follow through. You are too slow on the way up and then back."
Ball then, once again, tried to explain how she was aware and was just testing new techniques and styles.
"OK, I am going through a swing change at the minute,” Ball explained.
The man then said: "I've been playing golf for 20 years."
Ball then subsequently lined up a shot and smashed the ball straight down the range using an almost identical swing to the one she used before the man intervened.
"See how much better that was?” the man commented after watching Ball’s shot.
Once more, Ball tried to explain how that method was what “the best golfers in the world” used before the person said: “Keep doing that anyway, OK”.
Ball then posted the clip on TikTok before it got millions of views and comments.
"This was a bit awkward, not going to lie,” her caption read.
“I couldn't help but laugh. I was lost for words!"
