Best (Mostly) Golf Instagram Posts I Saw Today, 1-3-18

Some people use the New Year to get in better shape and some pledge to spend less time on Instagram. But I've decided to do neither and instead roundup the best stuff I see each day building a case for thumb tendonitis and a stiff neck.

The explosion of stellar post-New Year's content gave me the idea and apologies if this regular (daily!?) feature is redundant. Hopefully you won't mind reliving posts or scrolling on by for those who are not scanning Instagram religiously.

To kick off, we get to see Aiken's Wesley Bryan and his first Masters invitation, complete with that one-of-a-kind Augusta National font:


The ASGCA announced the passings of architects Dick Nugent and Jeff Hardin and they were remembered by GolfAdvisor:


Xander Schauffele
shares the various name iterations he's heard upon signing with Callaway, reported on here and expanded upon here by The Forecaddie:

A.M. golf fishing in Arizona, nice production work:

And finally, a non-golf post, how one man attacked his girlfriend's cell phone addiction. Please folks, don't do this to me while I'm looking for Instagram posts to share here

The what-appear-to-be legitimate reactions to the guy with the air horn are priceless. It's been a while since I laughed out loud like that. Perhaps it's the Three Stooges in me but I could watch a 30-minute show of that guy following her around with his air horn.

The moronic bimbo is addicted to attention, not ultimately her cell phone. In the past week, I've actually seen two people reading real books in public. I couldn't believe it. There's some hope left. Hang in there, old schoolers.

Somehow I think there is an x rated version of the air horn couple out there! Or will be soon :)

Loved the air horn one. Saw it well before I saw it here and shared it with my wife and kid who probably saw it about three seconds after I sent it, because they too are on their phones all the time.

What Salvation Army resale store did she meet this guy?

Crime in New York City would drop measurably if cops there would put down their cell phones. On your next visit take time to look around, cops everywhere leaning on a wall and staring at a cell phone.
