While some courses around the country are starting to shut down due to coronavirus concerns, friends Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas are social distancing together at Michael Jordan’s golf course, The Grove XXIII in Hobe Sound, Florida. But this time, they played 18 holes left-handed and documented the action on social media.
The two wore ridiculously mismatched outfits that fueled the action, and Fowler’s wife Allison was on hand to add to the fun.

Thomas held the lead by five at the turn, but after he carded a 9, 8 and a couple 7s leading to a back-nine 57, Fowler came back strong to win the match 94-101.
