Minnesota Governor Tim Walz recently shared a video of himself playing golf, which garnered significant attention on social media. The clip, posted on Elon Musk's platform X (formerly Twitter), shows Walz playing a hole at Northwest Angle Country Club in Minnesota. The video captures him hitting a ball off what appears to be a grassy tee area, with observers questioning his technique and attire, particularly his decision to wear a quarter-zip pullover without an undershirt.
Walz stated he was playing the sixth hole, described as a 261-yard Par-4, and that he had 100 yards remaining for his second shot. This suggests his drive traveled approximately 161 yards. The governor ultimately finished the hole with a two-putt bogey. The golf outing has become a topic of online discussion, with some social media users offering criticism and humorous commentary on his gameplay.
