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.

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

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

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.

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

You need the audio to appreciate this one:

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

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.

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

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

The Midnight Troubadour
Tough and timeless, this polo is built for the long ride. Featuring a crisp, non-collapsing collar and a rugged, stretchy fabric, it's the perfect shirt for any cowboy's wardrobe.

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.
