The troll tweeted, “At my course, the women play off the front/ ladies/ red tees so that they get round quicker to be able to get home and cook dinner before the men, who play off the back/ Men’s/ white tees get home after a few pints in the pub – it’s a concept that’s worked fine for many years!” Despite the other stereotypical joke, the 29-year-old maintained her composure and clapped back with a sarcastic tweet, similar to the first one.
