In this day and age, it's all about what's trending and being part of the latest trend, regardless of how dumb and dangerous it may be.

The Mannequin Challenge, for example, wasn't dangerous at all, but it was a viral trend that everybody got in on, from children to adults to athletes.

 

The latest trend is one that is very dangerous and quite dumb and it happening on golf courses everywhere.

The origin of this trend can be traced back to one of the greatest memes the Internet has produced.

Now it's taken on a life of its own and unsuspecting golfers everywhere are paying the price.

Even when golfers expect it, they still get hit, so really nobody is safe.

We hope this trend doesn't last as long as the dab because it's dangerous and you shouldn't have to keep your head on a swivel on the golf course.
On the football field, however, that's a whole other ball game.
