After going viral this week for being pictured smoking a cigarette, stories about women’s golfer Charley Hull have begun to make their rounds.

One of her Solheim Cup teammates, Mel Reid, appeared on the Golf Channel and offered up one of just many tales about the viral golfer.

When it comes to stories about Hull, Reid said that ‘most of them are for a late night show’ 

before getting into one story from the 2017 edition of the international women’s golf tournament.

‘Yeah, I mean, you were just talking then with the ADHD. I mean, honestly, 

during a Solheim week where she actually has to be places and you have to go to the gala dinner and things like that, it’s almost like taming a wild animal,’ Reid joked.

‘I’m always the one that’s having to go find Charley for the team meetings. But there’s one particular story I will briefly share.

‘We were playing Solheim Cup in 2017, and it was me and Charley against, I think it was Lexi [Thompson] and Cristie Kerr at the time. 

‘[It was a] pretty important moment in the match, I think we’re one down with coming into probably the 16th hole. And Charley’s got about a twelve footer to win the hole and to get it back to all square. 

‘She’s over this put, obviously it’s a big moment, and [to] her caddie [Adam Woodward], she goes, “Ads, Adsi, sure you booked me that massage, didn’t you?” And Ads is like, “What?”

‘She’s just… “You booked me that massage, yeah?” And Ads is like, “Yeah.” She literally goes, “Oh, yeah, cheers geez.” Literally holes the putt. Like, literally just didn’t even celebrate with me and goes, “You definitely booked it, yeah? Because my neck’s well stiff, innit?”  

‘And that’s just Charley Hull. Listen, she’s obviously a glamor girl, and she loves the attention. She does. She loves it. 

‘She was a bit more health conscious back then, not ripping darts like she is now. But listen, obviously, she loves the attention. But she’s so impressive in big moments, and she is one of the most fierce competitors I’ve ever met. I could talk about Charley all day long, all day long and all night long. I love the girl to death. 

‘I really do hope that she crosses the line in a major championship because she would be an unbelievable champion – if she shows up to the press conference.’

Hull put her pen to paper – so to speak – all while having a lit cigarette in her mouth while greeting fans at the Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania.

The image made the rounds on social media – even reaching the phones of those competing in the event itself, as World No. 1 Nelly Korda showed it to Hull and fellow golfer Megan Khang as the three shared a laugh.

Social media reaction was swift as a number of golf fans chimed in across Twitter.

‘No one makes golf look cooler right now than Charley Hull,’ wrote one user. 

‘Funny because on [Instagram] she’s always in the gym and what not but on the course [she’s] ripping darts lmao,’ said another. 

Last year, Hull was diagnosed with ADHD and has been open in how fitness has helped her with managing symptoms.

‘When I feel like I’m struggling, I go to the gym,’ Hull told Sky Sports in an interview in April. ‘I decided not to take any medication as I feel that I can manage it myself. 

‘One of the biggest things for me is routine. That’s why the job that I have works well in that my days have a regular structure to them.

‘When I’m away on tour, I can get into a really good routine and that helps me enormously. I have a better understanding of myself in terms of what works for me and what does not. 

‘I know how important routine is for me and I’m better at scheduling and planning so that I can be as healthy as possible. I put myself first. I know my triggers and how to cope. I just do me.’
