How Many BTS Members Play Golf?
The posts of them clearly indicated they were not happy with the situation. However, the fans didn’t agree with them. A writer at Golf Digest wrote: “Sure. It changes the perception of golf. People see this and think “wow, maybe golf isn’t so stuffy and elitist. Maybe it can be fun.” As such, they’re more likely to want to pick up the game or go to a tournament. Really not that complicated.”
It's not. Did anyone say it was? This is a tournament held at a massive frat party. It's one event per year. Enjoy it, laugh at it, it's not hurting the game at all

I think watching the ball go in and fans go crazy is awesome for golf and appeals to a certain audience. I’m all for growing the game, but not everything has to have that focus. Just my thoughts 🤷🏼♂️
