"I just stood there in shock" - Michael Kim shares hilarious tale of pro-am hacker turning down chipping lesson

Michael Kim shared a hilarious incident ahead of the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship pro-am. During the 2021 Wednesday pro-am at Quail Hollow Club, Kim was on the chipping green when he saw an old man doing blade chipping one after another.

"Random story from Quail Hollow… Wed pro-am 2021, I was on the chipping green and see this old man blade chip after chip. I rarely do this but it was so bad that I go over to him and ask if he would like some help with his chipping."

It is a privilege for anyone if a golf professional offers you help or lessons. Shockingly, the old man declined the offer, leaving Kim stunned.

"He looks at me, says, 'No thanks' then just keeps on chipping. I just stood there in shock for about 15 seconds and walked away 😅 meanwhile couple other players saw the entire interaction and couldn’t stop laughing. 😂😂 The irony: they are having me do a chipping clinic this year"
