When People Instagram Golf Photos, It's Usually One Of These

October 29, 2014

By Sam Weinman

The "Here's a picture of a flagstick in case you've never seen one" photo

The ironic "I'm playing golf and I never play golf" photo

The precious/mildly alarming "Start 'em early" photo of your 2-year old wielding a golf club

The photo with a mid-level golf celebrity

The obligatory moody shot of you at sunset

The "I'm a modern day Ben Hogan" shot of balls sprawled out at a driving range

The VW Golf photo that has nothing to do with the game of golf

The buddies trip selfie, which is often paired with . . .

The "We got drunk playing golf and don't remember taking this photo" photo

The "Don't you wish you were me" humblebrag of you at some awesome golf destination

The "My swing is usually hideous but it looks surprisingly good in this picture" shot

The porny-feeling close-up shot of your new 3-wood

The "I got a hole-in-one and here's the photo (which I easily could have staged) to prove it" photo
