Creators are under fire after filming themselves blasting golf balls toward traffic and buildings in LA.
A group of golf content creators is facing major backlash after videos showed them launching golf balls into moving traffic, residential neighborhoods, and commercial buildings across Los Angeles.
The clips, shared by the Instagram account @everywhereweplaygolf, have spread rapidly across social media, with many viewers calling the stunts reckless and demanding legal action. Rather than filming trick shots at golf courses, the group records themselves teeing off from sidewalks, rooftops, parking garages, and other urban locations, often aiming directly toward busy streets or occupied buildings.
Many of the videos appear to have been filmed at night, but critics point out that the streets are still filled with traffic and pedestrians. Several clips also show golf balls flying toward residential buildings where lights are on, raising concerns that someone could easily be injured.
Viewers Call For Police Investigation
The controversy gained momentum after a Reddit user compiled several of the group's videos, accusing them of putting innocent people in danger for social media views. The post quickly went viral, with thousands of users urging the Los Angeles Police Department to investigate the creators' actions.
Internet users have also criticized the group's decision to openly post the videos online. Since the creators regularly appear on camera without covering their faces, many commenters questioned why they would upload footage that could potentially be used as evidence if authorities decide to investigate.
According to multiple reports, no arrests or injuries connected to the group have been confirmed so far. However, residents remain worried that it may only be a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt.
A Viral Trend That Could Have Serious Consequences
A golf ball struck by an experienced player can travel well over 100 mph (ca. 161 km/h). At those speeds, a direct hit can shatter vehicle windows, damage property, or cause severe injuries. Critics argue that launching golf balls toward moving cars or populated areas goes far beyond a harmless prank and could easily result in a major accident.
The creators have largely brushed off the criticism online, with some posts reportedly joking that people “can't stop us.” That response has only fueled calls for stronger action against the group.
The controversy has reignited a broader debate about increasingly dangerous social media content, where creators push boundaries in pursuit of views.
