Female golf pro Georgia Ball has spoken out on the "awkward" exchange she had in the now viral clip where a man volunteered some advice on her swing without being asked for it.

Ball, who is a registered PGA professional and golf instructor, has a popular Tiktok page where she regularly uploads clips her swing and tips for her viewers.


Some of her most popular videos include playing with an 'illegal golf ball' and her 'trick' for standing the correct distance from the ball.

But those pale in comparison to the views that the clip of a man giving her unsolicited advice at the driving range received.

It's now been watched over 10 million times with Ball seen looking uncomfortable at the man's comments.

After Ball finishes a swing, the man said: “What you are doing there … you shouldn’t be doing that.

She attempted to brush off the comment, telling him that she's going through a "swing change".

But that fails to deter the man, who explained he'd been playing golf for over 20 years and knew what he was talking about.

The golf pro attempted to silence the man by hitting a "good one" on her next shot, but the man incredibly took credit for it, adding: “See how much better that was?”

The video has left people online gobsmacked and amazed at Ball for not losing her cool with the man.

She appeared on This Morning to speak about the viral clip where she explained why she didn't tell the man who she was.

Ball said: “As a humble person, it’s just not in me to say ‘I’m a professional golfer, I know what I am doing’.

"So it just wasn't in me to say that to him."

Ball replied: "I have a lot of conversations. I get a lot of advice and most the time it's positive.
