Jake Owen’s Twitter Tiff Could Pay Off Big For Charity
By kncitom on May 25, 2018
Jake Owen got into a twitter tiff with a guy yesterday over his golf game and Jake’s charities could come out the winner.
Jake is currently playing in a pro golf tournament in Nashville, the Web.com Nashville Open.
Now, Jake’s no duffer…he played golf in college and still plays a ton.
But yesterday, his front nine didn’t go so well (he was 10 over) and that prompted a golf fan named Doug Walker to call out Jake for taking a spot that could’ve gone to a “real” pro golfer, which Jake clapped back at in the following tweet.
No prob Doug. I’m +11 now and tweeting during my round. I’m playing as hard as I can. I have 8 holes left if you want to come out and kiss my ass. https://t.co/UMeFWFKLVP

To his credit…this Doug guy replied, with an offer Jake couldn’t refuse
Ok Dougie Fresh… appreciate you being a standup bro. Get that 💰 ready son. I’m ready to make some 🐦 tomorrow https://t.co/W6Qb3H52pp

And THAT kicked off a slew of similar pledges from Jake’s fans…$30 per birdie….$50… $200…one guy pitched in 5k per!
Jake’s buddy Jordan Spieth even weighed in with some advice… (to see it just click Jake’s tweet below)
Awwwww…. thanks buddy 😘😘 https://t.co/roaI80JYJS

Starting today, Jake is 14 over…150th out of 150 golfers. So he’s probably not gonna make the cut. BUT, all he’s gotta do is knock a few birdies in and he’s gonna make his charity some money.
