11 Jan Profanity still alive and well

Posted at 04:37h in Golf Tip by

It’s now 20 years since I battled through the traffic and submitted my first golf tip to the sports editor of the Bangkok Post; and on reflection-of all the tips I’ve submittedover these years — I’ve not touched on the profanity in golf! Short-tempered golfers have always amused me — especially the variety of expletives used, which are more or less vigorously directed at themselves. The most usualsafety valve for fury of the disappointed golfer has on many a time left me in stitches. Unfortunately bad language has virtually gone out of use for the TV Tour player (especially if a microphone is close by) but I’m happy to say that profanity is alive and well everywhere else on the links.

Deeds not words can also bring a smile when the resources of profanity run out and in extreme cases when justice, prudence, and politeness have all conspired against any given poor golfer actual physical violence may break out, with hilarious scenes of golfing breakdowns ensuing.

Out of Bounds: A golfer’s thirst for revenge and vengeance cannot be satisfied and knows no bounds when it comes to shifting the blame of a bad shot to a particular club. Piecemeal destruction of equipment and profanity must be permitted to continue — so as to smooth the discomfort and torment of succeeding generations of golfers.
