By now, it’s pretty well established that Eddie Pepperell is one of the best golfers to follow on social media.
Forget the transparent thank yous to sponsors and partners that many others seem to exclusively use their accounts for. Instead, two-time European Tour champ Pepperell gives a candid (and often very funny) insight into what life on tour is like.
Click here for some examples of him at his best.
The ‘King of Golf Twitter’? No question.
But across the Atlantic, there’s an emerging contender to his throne.

He lies to Uber drivers
I’ll let u in on a little secret. In Ubers I lie about what I do so I don’t get bombarded with questions. I say I’m a realtor & for the first time ever, the Uber driver is in the market for a home & I am so deep in this web of lies I think I’m actually working for him now

He loves Game Of Thrones…
So Arya the survives like 46 concussions and a fire storm from a dang dragon but we should be happy that Bran helped get her an Uber so she wouldn’t have to walk home after? Nope I’m not havin it https://t.co/6ZOKzlAJEV

He’s Jewish
Despite 6 years of Hebrew school and the completion of my Bar Mitzvah, the most Jewish I’ve ever felt came after looking at a home with extravagant Christmas lights and immediately thinking “that electric bill must be brutal”

He likes his downtime
The golf offseason is an interesting time cuz I wanna get my game as sharp as possible and get prepared to win some tournaments but also tequila sounds pretty good

He’s grateful
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for my family, my friends, my dog, golf, and almost all of u twitter people. Also, I’m thankful for that special feeling u get when u have to hit a provisional but find out ur ball was actually in bounds

He’s got impeccable manners
*someone sneezes* “bless u”- me
*sneezes again* “bless u”- I say, considerably less enthusiastically
*sneezes a 3rd time* “ur in God’s hands now”- I think to myself, too exhausted to continue blessing people

He doesn’t know who you are but he has a very particular set of skills
The alarm clock (yes those still exist) in my hotel room went off early this morning. I’m not sure if the previous occupant set it as a practical joke or if it was an innocent mistake, but either way they have become my enemy. I now have the singularly focused rage of Liam Neeson

He, too, thinks the USGA is hopeless at setting up golf courses
Shinnecock is gunna need to be tested for an STD after screwing all these players this afternoon

He’s self-deprecating
Anybody got any questions for me about missing cuts? I’ve got about an hour before my Friday night flight home to work with my coach so I can start playing on saturdays instead of practicing at home

He gets it…
Why does brushing your teeth over the kitchen sink feel so wrong?
