On March 28, a golf fan, Rob, reacted to a post related to a golf club, talking about the importance of a good game. The fan wrote:

"A $500 putter doesn’t make you a better putter. Cant buy a game."

Interestingly, Hank Haney reshared the post on his X account, sharing his opinion on the matter. He wrote:

"Can’t buy a game but you can definitely buy a better game, lessons, a driver that fits you and is adjusted properly and @labgolfputters is where I would start."

"Most people exercise, they don’t practice with a plan."

"I have so many things to say about this incredible man. I owe so much of my success to the many things he taught me and he lives on as I share those same insights to numerous other golfers. The laughs we shared along the way is what I cherish most and I look forward to paying tribute to this great man with “Pelz stories” in the near future. Rest in peace my friend. ❤️"

Tiger Woods' ex-coach Hank Haney also paid tribute to Pelz by resharing Mickelson's post on his X account. He just reshared Mickelson's post without any caption.

Dave Pelz was a renowned short-game instructor. During his career, he worked with several big golfers such as Patrick Reed, Vijay Singh, and Tom Kite. He had also worked with Payne Stewart.
