They say if at first you don’t succeed, try again. Armin Abdic has been trying again for 25 straight days. In early May, Abdic tweeted at PGA Tour pro and reigning Golf Twitter king Max Homa asking him to play a quick 18. That sounds ordinary enough, except for the fact Abdic and Homa are complete strangers and one is a PGA Tour pro and the other is some guy on Twitter. But that didn’t deter Abdic, who was determined to realise his extremely arbitrary dream.
As Abdic kept on keeping on, Homa would occasionally chime in to offer up some excuses, such as Day 5, when Homa had a morning thing that might possibly stretch into an afternoon thing…Day 1 of me saying I’m busy that day https://t.co/8K1joDbiZF

…and Day 8 when he was stuck at home waiting for (this generation’s) cable guy.Hey man I respect the grind! Keep it up. Unfortunately that day doesn’t work for me cuz I have a thing in the morning that could potentially creep into the afternoon. Maybe next time! https://t.co/Q9J666EtSb

Doctor appointment, car trouble, plantar warts, grandad fought in World War II. Look alive, Halpert. But we all have our breaking points, and on Day 24, Homa seemed to reaching his, indicating that Day 25 might finally bear the fruits of Abdic’s labour. Sure enough, when the sun rose on June 1st, both men were ready.I would, I really would but my internet provider said they will be coming by between 6am and 8pm that day and I don’t wanna miss that because it could be months before they come back! https://t.co/nZyXBTLSb4

There you have it, kids. Proof that if you’re annoying and weird enough for long enough, eventually someone will say yes just to shut you up. Maybe that’s not the life lesson we should be taking from all this, but it doesn’t change its truth.
