I am a fat man in my 50's who occasionally wears shorts. God forbid, and I am sorry for this, I even recently boarded an airplane in shorts. I have an excuse, late for flight or extreme heat, but really it is based on me doing what is best for me.
I know many of you click your irons, hitch hike on carts and even sneak in your own food and beverage. What rude behavior do you see or do on the course that may educate other golfers who don't even realize they are being offensive?
One other thing that I see many experienced golfers do is splat the pin onto the green. How about placing it gently on the green or better yet, the fringe. I can feel the grass dying every time a pin is felled like a giant oak.
I know many of you are good people and don't realize how rude your behavior may be, this thread is meant to teach not offend.
