Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever’s star guard, recently shared her memorable experience at The ANNIKA pro-am tournament in Belleair, Florida, where she made her debut as a golfer. Taking to Instagram, Clark posted a series of photos capturing highlights from the event, quickly drawing significant attention. Within just a couple of hours, her post had garnered nearly 90,000 likes and sparked a flurry of comments. Among the many reactions was a playful jab from her Fever teammate, Grace Berger, who couldn’t resist poking fun at Clark’s golf skills.
Berger, a state champion golfer from high school, joked that the photos made it look like Clark might actually be a talented golfer — well, almost. “If I hadn’t seen the video of the shank, these photos would’ve convinced me that you could beat me,” Berger quipped in the comment section. The “shank” she referred to was likely a less-than-perfect moment captured on video, which Clark had previously shared, offering a lighthearted look at the reality of her golf game.
For context, Clark had already taken a playful shot at Berger in a recent interview. She joked that the reason they hadn’t played together yet was that her teammate might be “scared” of her. “Her game must have gotten rusty when she became a professional basketball player,” Clark teased, suggesting that Berger might be hesitant to compete against her on the golf course. This back-and-forth between the two sparked plenty of laughter, with even Indiana’s star forward, Aliyah Boston, joining in on the fun. “Why are you so funny?” Boston commented on Berger’s playful remark, adding to the banter and showcasing the friendly camaraderie within the Fever team.
While it’s clear that this exchange is all in good fun, it’s also a reminder that Clark, despite being one of the most dominant basketball players of her generation, isn’t immune to the playful digs from her teammates. The back-and-forth between her and Berger has only added to the joy fans have in following their off-court antics. With Clark’s signature sense of humor and competitive spirit, it’s likely that she’ll have a response ready for Berger’s golf-related clapback.
This friendly rivalry between teammates only adds to the charm of the Indiana Fever, highlighting their strong team dynamic and the fun, light-hearted nature of their interactions. Whether it’s on the court or on the golf course, it’s clear that Caitlin Clark and her teammates are always ready to mix a bit of humor with their athletic pursuits.
