A pro golfer took to Facebook Marketplace to offer his services as a 'scramble team partner.' Thanks to Pro Shop's Chad Mumm for spotting this fun little nugget:
Although, your opponents might not thing it's so fun if you show up with this guy and win. "I am a professional golfer looking to get money to pay for tournaments," the ad reads. "I can be a great addition to your scramble team and I usually don't have tournaments on Mondays." Hey, you'd be helping out an aspiring tour pro as well.
OK, so you have to be in the LA-area to hire the guy we're talking about, but he seems legit. And, yes, the ad is real. He also includes a video of his swing:

And some very impressive Trackman numbers:

We won't totally blow up the guy's spot, but if you're interested, you can find the ad easily. And for only $100, that's less than the cost of most caddies these days. What a steal! Although, you might be accused of actually stealing if you win an event with him.
