While she explained that the docuseries was really good, it needed some updates heading onto the next season. For the unversed, Mrs. Schenk serves as the VP of Membership for the PGA Tour Wives Association, which donates to charities across the season.

The tweet was well-received by the golf community, with several users commenting on the same. Here’s a selection of those tweets:
