Journalist Kyle Porter kicked it off by sharing the screengrab of him carrying an umbrella that had an array of gloves and a towel hanging from the inside.
He captioned it with: “Brian Harman is running a pro shop under his umbrella.”
And golf supporters absolutely loved it as it was shared numerous times on social media.

- When you feel good, play. There will be times when you don’t feel like going out on the course. You shouldn’t be forced to do things that you don’t like. Instead, find ways to make golf enjoyable again.
- Pause. Golfers like to take breaks during rounds to stretch, walk around, have lunch or just relax. Taking breaks helps your body relax and keeps you focused throughout the round.
- Drink water! It’s easy for you to lose count of how many beverages you’ve consumed while on the golf course. Be sure to drink enough water, so you don’t get dehydrated.

- You must eat right. Healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and legumes will provide energy that will help you perform well on the course.
- Keep hydrated. The best way to stay hydrated is to drink lots of water. Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. This includes plain water as well as water made from coffee or other beverages.
- Get warm. Before hitting the first shot in a round, warm up by walking or jogging for five minutes. You should then be flexible and agile.
- Keep your head down. When you are teeing off, keep your eyes on the ground. You should not be looking at the ball, or where it lands. Your eyes should be focused on the hole instead.
- Good form is essential for a good swing. Different people might interpret the same thing as proper form. But, generally speaking, you want to avoid swinging through your target. Instead, strike the ball towards the center of the club.
- Concentrate on the process. Although there are many factors that influence a successful golf swing you should be able to focus on the process. You can relax your grip if your hands are slipping. You can also focus on your posture if balance is a problem.
