Hand hold golf ball with tee on golf course
The life of a golf parent is a winding road. One day you are with your child on the range, teaching them to grip a club and the fundamentals of a golf swing, and the next minute they’re showing you up.
One Ohio-based PGA professional, Drew Pierson, was recently competing in the Ohio Open and he revealed the funny heckling text messages he’d received from his daughter while on the course.
Daughter Roasts Dad With Heckling Text Messages On The Golf Course
A former FGCU golfer and current PGA Pro, Drew Pierson was teeing it up in the prestigious Ohio Open. His 13-year-old daughter was live tracking his results on her phone (why wasn’t she on the bag???) and texting dad after every mistake.
My first question is: Drew, why aren’t you charging your phone? How did you allow your battery to get to 1% on the course? Does that not give you massive anxiety? Because that is giving me second-hand anxiety… Anyway, here are the texts to dad which Drew Pierson (@drewpierson83) shared on X, formerly known as Twitter:
I love the idea of a teenager heckling her dad, a long-time PGA pro and former collegiate golfer, telling him to get it together, start reading putts, and lock in.
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the PGA pro from The Clubhouse Cleveland in Beachwood, OH, was not able to lock in despite his daughter’s encouragement. Scrolling through the results of the 105th Ohio Open, I was unable to find his name on the leaderboard. The winner, Daniel Wetterich, finished 64-71-62 to make it to -17 and beat the field by three strokes.
