Great PR
Golf is frustrating. Even the greatest of the club swingers have bad days when a course defeats them. Imagine, then, the anger of a golfer who shanked a putt because a spectator yelled just as the golfer was tapping the ball toward the hole. This happened to Brandon Matthews at the Argentine Open, and it cost him the tournament. Matthews was upset, as any normal human would be, until he was told what happened. It turns out the fan has Down Syndrome and yelled because he was excited. Matthews asked to speak to the fan and he gave him a "signed golf ball and glove, and gave him a hug." Matthews explained that he had been around disabled persons and he wanted the fan to know he wasn't furious with him. That is great PR for the man and the game. Well done.
