re: Why do golfers get so pissy?

It’s simple, it’s the country club “you don’t belong” attitude.

Distraction? Give me a break. If you need to concentrate that hard to hit a damn ball off a tee then why can baseball crowds cheer when a batter is trying to hit a 95 mph fast ball? I take the Happy Gilmore approach to golf if you can’t tell.

Does the batter have to contend with The Beverly Hillbillies wandering all over the infield as well?

I am aware of this sort of "etiquette" so I avoid golf other than hitting practice balls.

My personal opinion is that general etiquette trumps "golf etiquette" in situations like this where they conflict with each other, but that view is not shared by people who consider themselves golfers. So I avoid the sport, and I am far from alone in that.

Subtle brag: "I can afford a vacation next to a muny golf course."

The management company that rented you the condo should have you read and taken a course in golf etiquette before staying on site. You stumble onto a golf course with your family and act offended when someone tells you that you are in the wrong place. Go be a victim somewhere else.

Golf is a relaxing way to spend a few hours outdoors but everyone who plays the game has seen players like I described in every sport.

I’m not some oblivious moron who purposely cut through a golf course.

Oblivious and purposely don’t go together.

You and your family were in the wrong. But instead of apologizing for being in the way and leaving, the golfer made you look like a bitch in front of your kids.
