Golf is a sport known for many reasons, especially for its etiquette. But there are times when players decide to do things that might hurt the intentions of their on-field contenders. Not to forget, when Patrick Reed recently threw a tee toward Rory McIlroy in Dubai, it became international news in only a few hours. However, a video of female golfers is currently going viral on Twitter, raising similar questions in the minds of viewers. And naturally, it is receiving all kinds of reactions from them.

Walking in someone’s sight line while ball in motion…. Lifetime Ban, Play On, or Pouch of Misery? @BigRandyNLU @ngschuNLU @TronCarterNLU @NoLayingUp @DJPie pic.twitter.com/CRCWXiFVEo

The video was posted by Bill Davis on Twitter and it features Tejedo attempting to make a putt during a tournament. However, as soon as she hits the ball, another player casually strolls through her sight line even before the ball made it anywhere near the hole. Thankfully, it turned out to be a beautiful putt. And to everyone’s surprise, the golf star did not react to the other player’s actions. But fans are not letting it go that easy!

Here’s what some of them had to say:
The tweet asked fans to vote if what the player did during Tejedo’s shot deserved a lifetime ban or ignored. But fans are well aware of what’s right and what’s not. Understandably, most fans stood against the player’s disrespectful actions and said it was a loss of good etiquette.
That’s Carla Tejedo from #LSU. I would not cross her too many times. Very tough competitor. And yes, that was bad etiquette.

I absolutely hate that and would never do that to anyone, ever.

So rude

The lost art of manners

On the other hand, there were others who said that it was wrong on the player’s part. But not wrong enough for her to deserve a lifetime ban at all.
Always walk behind no matter what. But lifetime ban? Sawft. Play on and smoke em

I wouldn't do it, but if it keeps up place of play let's give this player a pass

But surprisingly, some thought there was nothing wrong with what she did and said the game must go on.
It’s a game. Relax.

Unless you think the putters stare will effect the ball, play on and keep it moving.
