Shaking Hands after the round.....
« on: November 11, 2009, 05:41:52 PM »
Question....I have always thought it proper etiquette to shake hands with the opponent after a round but I just finished a round in the State Senior and noticed that during the round my opponent " shook the dew of his lilly" about five or six times....so knowing where his hand had been it was a little difficult.....
You guys ever think about that????

WELL ;D ;D ;D

Go lefty. Just make sure you're holding something in your right hand, otherwise he might be suspicious.  :)

Mike Young,

In my matches with Ran I usually shake hands with him around the 13th or 14th hole, then we just play the remaining holes to make him feel better. ;D

That is the problem with seniors. Maybe just give a gentle tap on his walking frame?

Everybody's hands have been everywhere by the time you hole out on 18, so in terms of the post-round handshake, that is truly fighting fire with fire.  My problem comes in the 19th hole, assuming most have made a beeline for the washroom to clean up a bit post-round. 
To me it is the ultimate in thoughtlessness to extend for a handshake when you've just come off the GC, and see a buddy who's in the middle of lunch.  If he puts down his sandwich and sticks out his hand it is one thing, but it's pretty rude, IMO, for the player just off the GC to stick out his hand to the guy who's eating.   Am I logical, or germ-phobic?

Mike, ironically I was just reading a similar thread on another web-site about a guy reluctant to shake hands with a well known golf course architect after their round, having witnessed several digital extractions of bats in the cave.  I could have sworn he said it was in the Georgia State Senior.

Leave it to Mike Young to start this topic. Your boy probably shaved that thing before the round!

Just when we were tiring of OT threads!

So, allow me to contribute to this drivel about dribble.  If you think about it, 98% of golfers don't wash their hands until after the round.  That means that they've been tapping the effluent out of the Bad Lieutenant at least once or twice before the shaking of the hands commences.

I guess a Purel sanitizer stand by the 18th green is in order.

  With all the growing/going problems this is going to be a bigger problem as the golf community ages.

That only works for Tommy two gloves and lefties.

What was the hoary joke about the Yale man and the Harvard man at adjoining urinals? Something like the Harvard man zipped up and was walking to the exit when the Yalie said, 'We Yale men always wash our hands after urinating." A quick response from the Harvard guy was,' We were taught in Cambridge not to piss on our hands or pants."

While we are scraping the bottom of the barrrel as it were,I think the best two lines in Royal humor were caught in this one.

Anthony Armstrong-Jones married Princess Magaret. A sumptuous weding ceremony, a guards parade, horses and carriages evrywhere. The bells of Westminster Abbey clanging noisily and jubilation in the streets.

After the tummult and confusion subsided, Margaret asked Tony to give her twenty minutes to prepare for the nuptial coupling.
The twenty minutes sped by and the groom hastened along  the corridors of Buckingham Palace, shot up the stairs and reached the
Bridal Chamber. He thew open the doors and there lay his fairy princess on purple sheets, quite naked but wearing  long white gloves.

When asked about the gloves her Royal Highness replied, " Well Darling, I have to touch the beastly thing sometime."

It doesn't end there. After an exhiliarating evening of delight the young princess asked, "Tony Darling, is that what the common people call f#*^!*g."  His garbled reply was," Well yes dearest heart it is." Her very Royal and succinct comment went to the point.
"Much too good for them, much too good for them."

The chance to shake hands sometimes would be a fine thing Mike.........

I don't know how many times in the past few years I've finished a round, gone to shake hands, and the other players are already leaving the green. Maybe it's me who has been for a "Jimmy Riddle" just once too often :D

Your momma teaches you to wash your hands,  but that isn't too important in this case,  if your daddy teaches you not to pee on your hand.

Whoever cleans the golf shoes should be careful.  If you don't believe it, check below any urinal.
