It's funny that even in a game like golf, there's a very definite machismo culture. Man up and play from the tips even if you have no business there, how far do you hit your driver, you only hit your irons that far because you're playing jacked lofts, you need to play low spin triple diamond drivers at 8° and low spin tour balls or GTFO, etc. It's like the equivalent of gym bros asking each other "how much do you bench?". A lot of flexing and worrying about what other people are doing.
Don’t forget they did it in 2-1/2 hours and got 300 likes on Instagram while doing it. I’m think a custom set of irons labeled with letters instead of numbers would really be nice.
