A tweet from NUCLR GOLF shared the story, including a text exchange where the fan’s friend tried to talk him out of his “Hurricane Golf” plans. “Absolutely not,” his friend replied, “Dude, you’re literally out of your mind.” Yet our fearless golfer was undeterred: “I’ll be out here swinging and playing the best round of my life. I got a 2:30 tee time for super cheap—it’s insane.” And he made it to the course the next day, taking his swing in stormy winds. Adventurous or just plain nuts? You decide.
Meanwhile, on the PGA Tour side of things, pros like Luke List, Kevin Kisner, and Henrik Norlander are putting in real efforts to support hurricane victims. At the Sanderson Farms Championship, List pledged $500 per birdie to the Red Cross, racking up $7,000, while Norlander’s 17 birdies added up to $8,500. And Kisner went big with a “Hurricane Helene Relief Concert,” asking locals to bring non-perishable items or donate to his foundation’s relief fund.
⛳️🌀 This man played golf in a Hurricane because he got a “super hot deal” $5 for 18 holes 😵

The contrast is stark: while some are braving the elements for a discount, others are stepping up to help those hit hardest by the storm. So, what’s your take? Golfing in a hurricane: brave or bonkers?
