Greg Chalmers, an Australian golfer, instantly retweeted the tweet and wrote: I signed 4 autographs yesterday and you guys didn’t have any cameras there at all…starting to think I need to take my own footage and just send it to you.”

At the moment, Chalmers is taking part in the 2023 Barbasol Championship. He is presently in position 64. This is not the first time Chalmers has called out the PGA Tour jokingly. But one time, his sense of humor forced him to deal with the ire of the crowd. Let’s find out!

Earlier this month, when Greg Chalmers was participating in the John Deere Classic Tournament, a new rule regarding fans surfaced. Imposing a new rule regarding autographs, the event issued a notice that said, ‘Autographs are only allowed in designated autographs zones.

Though Chalmers was being sarcastic here, many fans couldn’t take it lightly. Fans mercilessly trolled him and wrote many mean comments like, ”No one is asking you” or ”Look again, I think that’s just your caddie and swing coach, and perhaps a family member or two. Could be wrong though…” 

Well, fans truly can make or break anyone. But it totally depends on the athlete how to take love or criticism from others. And looking at his personality, we can say Chalmers is the one who takes things lightly.
