Pro golfer Joel Dahmen pays for fan’s bar tab after accidentally hitting him with a stray ball.
During a practice round at the PGA Championship, Dahmen’s shot veered off course and struck a spectator on the leg. Instead of reacting negatively, Dahmen approached the fan in a respectful manner.
Dahmen not only checked on the fan’s safety but also went the extra mile to ensure he had a positive experience. The fan, Caleb McGuire, shared on Twitter that Dahmen asked about the price of beer at the tournament ($17 each) and promptly handed him $100, covering his bar tab.
Caleb expressed his gratitude and posted a photo of himself with Dahmen, showing the mark on his calf where the ball hit him.
Although Dahmen has earned millions throughout his golf career, his kind gesture demonstrates his willingness to personally assist someone in need. Truly a legendary move by the golfer.
Shoutout to @Joel_Dahmen for hitting my calf with a tee shot today on hole #1! He proceeds to ask me how much a beer costs at the tourney and I tell him $17 a pop. He then pulls out a crispy $100 bill and says "I got your beers today." ? ⛳️ ? pic.twitter.com/oLIenCUj5q
