Leave it to Australian pro Matt Goggin to add some fuel to the dumpster fire that has been United Airlines’ recent public relations.
After kicking some girls off a flight over their choice to wear leggings, then forcibly removing and bloodying a passenger who wouldn’t give up his seat in an infamous viral video, and throwing another couple off a plane who were trying to get to their own wedding, it hasn’t been a banner year for the airline.
And now comes this egregious error when it comes to handling a passenger’s golf clubs.
Goggin, the 42-year-old who has nine professional wins, including five on the Web.com Tour, went to pick up his clubs after a recent flight only to find his driver and two other woods snapped at the neck.
Of course, the irony wasn’t lost on Goggin, who made sure to hit United with a subtle burn of his own.
