It’s been a banner year for twitter in the golf world. For myself, twitter has completely transformed the way I watch golf on a Sunday, and it has been enhanced by the creative genius of many tweeters. The below is my best attempt to highlight some of the funniest tweets I saw during 2014. This was a lot more difficult than I thought, because it’s really hard to feel like this is a complete list. I’m sure there are several that I missed, but these are the tweets I could think of off the top of my head, and ones that I received as suggestions on twitter (and with help from Adam Sarson). I’m going to try to do this on a more frequent basis going forward.

Ryder Cup

By the sounds of it, the US team needs Stewart Cink to come in and steal the captaincy away from Watson.

I still laugh thinking about this image of Bubba running over Ted Scott.

This just in from Gleneagles: Bubba Watson has traded in the General Lee and is now ready for the Ryder Cup. pic.twitter.com/4CUjFFTklN

Add a Gilmore quote to the most lasting image of the Ryder Cup from the US perspective, and you get this gold:

"How about a warm glass of shut the hell up?" -Patrick Reed https://t.co/pmzTYlkCOp

Some trolling from the European Ryder Cup account! I love it.

Dear @McIlroyRory,



Just to confirm your tee time is 12.00pm (midday). That's 12pm.



Sincerely,



Europe

GIF:

Sarson was (shockingly) all over this weird sequence of Rory and Sergio ridiculing Woz.

Are Rory and Sergio making fun of Caroline Wozniacki here? (h/t to @Kevin_Igo for the idea) pic.twitter.com/IEpMcBJQbD

Masters:

Four retweets of this one!? This was the tweet of the entire Masters.

What do Craig Stadler and Derek Ernst have in common? Both playing their last Masters.

Vines:

Tiger throws a paper airplane at Bubba. It probably missed the fairway. https://t.co/30YECcjgGw

You need the audio to appreciate this one:

Figjam: "Bones, I kinda like driver right now."



Bones: ?https://t.co/3fWLJm2K8g

Bubba:

Has Snickers called Bubba and Ted Scott to make a commercial yet? Bubba drives one off planet yells @ Ted, Ted hands him a Snickers. Perfect

This guy wants to be taken more seriously – pic.twitter.com/1dtUDqRxHc

So much Ted Scott gold to choose from:

It's a good thing Bubba wasn't in that playoff. Poor Ted Scott would have been blamed for the lack of daylight.

Best Replies:

I made a pretty bad Game of Thrones theme joke. Will Gray with the best possible response that only Thrones fans will understand.

@NoLayingUp the Donaldsons send their regards.

@danjenkinsgd @johnmaginnes @SteveH1030 Dan, while you're making your All Star list, make sure you spell my name properly. #asshole



— Shaun Micheel (@shaunmicheelpga) August 10, 2014

@Legitgolfer22 @bubbawatson he'd blame his caddy for mis clubbing him



— Treb (@Trebor_Mangum) November 5, 2014

@NoLayingUp Luckily, Dustin isn't there or there could be cause for confusion.

.@Keegan_Bradley Last time I looked, you were wearing MY shoes. You don't see me wearing Air Keegans…

Others:

I don’t know who Andrew Gilman is, but this tweet following Jason Day’s par after fording the river at the PGA Championship is a killer.

Jason Day's par was the best-looking 4 I've seen since my 1991 prom date.

Kyle Porter stock is on Koepka like rise. Huge 2014:

Just texted @mattamilian this question: If Rickie shoots ______ he wins.



His response: "Rory."



— Kyle Porter (@KylePorterCBS) August 10, 2014

Say what you want about golf, we're about the only sport Pitbull hasn't invaded.



— Kyle Porter (@KylePorterCBS) June 12, 2014

I couldn’t find the link to Dillon’s actual tweet, but this may have been the best of the PGA Championship

RT @dillonmays_: That guy Phil just smoked is definitely from eastern Kentucky. Probably thought it was just his wife tapping his shoulder



— Ashley Mayo (@AshleyKMayo) August 10, 2014

Here are the European wives. I presume Rory's contingent will take its own photo later. pic.twitter.com/TkyJCVGGCl

This was after Sergio’s wayward drive knocked the diamond off a woman’s engagement ring, while Sergio was paired with Rory at the Bridgestone:

If only Sergio Garcia was playing with someone that had an extra diamond ring laying around …

Scott Langley literally stamped his wedge with #TourSauce. I might have shed a baby tear.

Hope @NoLayingUp is ready for some #Toursauce with a side of crowd acknowledgement this weekend. pic.twitter.com/KcQlUOoFvm

Kaymer with a six-stroke lead in the final round. The only guy who could blow this is going to announce it next year for FOX. #shark



— Dan Jenkins (@danjenkinsgd) June 15, 2014

I bet this one hurt. Don't forget to yell "fore," people. (via golf.se) http://t.co/sD8JKfHeuo http://t.co/vIzfnDJshP



— Stina Sternberg (@StinaSternberg) August 18, 2014

That’s all I’ve got for now. Yes, there is an extreme lack of #TourSauce. That may have to be it’s own separate post.
