You’re wasting your time. Slippy has a lot of questions and common sense doesn’t help. Just look at his thread history.

Didn't know you were the Dunder Mifflin legal counsel.

Simple solution: No ride alongs. Either you're playing, or you're staying home. If women want to play, great. I see no reason to allow anyone, regardless of gender, to just tag along during a function they aren't actually engaging in.

If you know anything about how an attorney spends their time then this comment just doesn't make sense. I'm an attorney FWIW

You sound gay. Unless all the women at your office are ugly.

You spend a lot of time wondering why you didn’t organize the office golf pool better?

Your mistake was even making it discussion during work. You need to just limit the invites.

Sounds less than ideal. If they are cool and just want to drink and drive the cart, that may not ruin the day. Would much rather that than any of them wanting to play assuming they don't usually or haven't ever played a round. That would be true of guys too.

The biggest issue is "ride along" people generally have no etiquette on the course, and it might be awkward telling female coworkers to shut the frick up every other hole.

Not every course even allows ride along guests, by the way. Could make an assumption there and nip it in the bud.

why would an attorney try and organize a golf outing with at least 8 other attorneys in a firm? Wouldn't a firm that size have an assistant to do that shite for him?

8 attorneys in one firm would have double that number of paralegals, assistants, receptionist, HR, accounting,...

OP is full of shite

My gawd man. Get it together! You can't let them know about stuff like that.

Just tell them everyone is playing skins and they'll be required to participate if they decide to show up. Technically can't get in trouble, it's a game of golf


But what the others said, you're an a-hole for inviting them

A lot of law offices have some fine looking women. I'd be ok breaking a few unspoken rules of golf etiquette bringing them out there

Idiot - If you have a work function it should be something everyone can attend. I am surprised you haven't been officially reprimanded.
