Another Pro Golfer Bites The Twitter Dust: Lee McCoy Complains About Children, South America

I can't put a finger on what might have gone wrong for Lee McCoy--wait I can, he has proven to not know what he doesn't know and is a defender of backstopping. The Bobby Jones Award is not in his immediate future.

Seems the Web.com Tour player took to Twitter to complain about South American children wanting some more than a free autograph for coming out to watch the developmental tour play in their country and also insulted the country.

As Joel Beall reports for GolfDigest.com, the offending McCoy Tweets now sleep with the fishes and McCoy has taken the Grayson Murray path of suspending his account. And we know that how well that turned out for Murray.

McCoy tells Beall he has learned his lesson.

"To say I learned a valuable lesson would be an understatement," McCoy said. "More importantly I want people to know that I am, and always have been, a strong supporter of growing the game and doing everything I can to give back to the community."

Grow that game!

What on earth goes through these cretins' minds when they do stuff like this. What an imbecile.

[Twilight Putter]

Ban the phrase "grow the game."

[Bill Tedman]

Trump has emboldened terrible people like this.

Put down the twitter, people. No one on earth really cares what you have to say. Until you say something stupid. What a dumbazz.

Do we not want to hear what’s actually on these peoples minds?

Otherwise it’s all sterilized through PR reps...

For the millionth time, just in the golf world: The root of twitter is twit, not tweet.

And no, if that is what's on his mind, he should put down the "smart" phone and keep it to himself?

Web.com is the minor league. They are talented, but no one cares at this point. Later, maybe.
