A video of a woman at Beverly Country Club in Chicago going off on a club pro for not having caddies for her and her guests has gone viral.
The video, which has five million views as of Tuesday morning after it was posted to X on Saturday, shows a woman in the club shop fuming about caddies not being available after previously requesting them for her planned round.
“I talked to Kevin yesterday. This is not acceptable,” the woman says as the video begins. “I have guests that have played Medinah and they are playing Shoreacres. And they’re gonna get a s–tty — I’m gonna bad mouth this club all day if we don’t get this together.”

She then said she wouldn’t be going out onto the course until she had “two caddies for three people. Nobody said a cart.”
Her attention then turned to a man she called John, who appears to be the club pro.
“I wrote a letter stating that I need caddies. Nobody ever used the word cart. John, this is bulls–t. I am so upset,” she said. “It’s not unusual for Beverly to treat people like this, especially women, and I will address this. Because I organized this months ago. I wrote a letter yesterday that I never got a response from, and I called this morning, and this is how I’m going out to play golf. This is great.
“I want two caddies. I’m not taking a cart and my guests shouldn’t have to take a cart. They want to walk, and here they come through the door. John, you figure it out.”
John then told the woman that she and her guests would take carts, because they didn’t have any available caddies since they’re back in school for the fall.
“You’re a f–king liar because there are three caddies out there right now ahead of me, and there’s caddies over there,” the woman fired back.
John then replied, “I’m not gonna take this.”
The woman then alleged she was being treated a certain way “because I’m a woman,” which John denied.
“You can suspend me,” the woman said as she walked off before the video ends.
Beverly previously hosted four editions of the Western Open, now known as the BMW Championship. Arnold Palmer (1963) and Jack Nicklaus (1967) each won a Western Open at Beverly.
