PGA Tour Pro’s sarcastic comment about new rule for fans
This week Australian golfer Greg Chalmers is participating at the John Deere Classic Tournament which is being held at the TPC Deere Run golf course. And at the event, there surfaced a new rule that is definitely a big disappointment for all fans. Imposing a new rule regarding autographs, the event issued a notice that said – ‘Autographs are only allowed in designated autographs zones. No autographs on course.‘ A picture of this notice was further shared by Greg on his Twitter account with a sarcastic caption on his end.
Posting the picture Greg wrote – “Absolute blessing this rule is in place… groupies everywhere here.”

But his comment backfired as netizens trolled him mercilessly. Even his previous achievements coudn’t aid him in the moment.
The Sydney-born golfer has played on the PGA Tour of Australasia and the PGA Tour. He has won twice at the Australian Open and five times on the PGA Tour of Australasia. His first American PGA Tour victory came at the 2016 Barracuda Championship.
But it seems like these accolades aren’t enough to impress the netizens who did not take kindly to Greg’s spicy comment about the new rule.

Look again, I think that's just your caddie and swing coach, and perhaps a family member or two. Could be wrong though…

Usually the sign says, “Autographs allowed only in GGCA.” Which, we all know, is the Greggy Groupie Collection Area.
