On this, Albon said, “She is sounding so nice right now. She talks so much sh*t on my golf.”

Lily tried to cut Alex and mentioned how difficult it is to teach him golf. She said, “He is unteachable. Unteachable. He is [a] complete chaos on the [golf] course. Imagine pure chaos. That’s Alex. You know chaos and golf don’t go hand in hand.”

“I think I embarrass Lily when I am on the [golf] course.”
