If Sergio indeed needlessly yelled at a fan and
spit in a cup during a tournament, well then, that is a shame. Of course, I was, for years, under the impression that only nice people played golf, but I was disabused of that unrealistic and gross generalization by a particularily loud, unfriendly, obnoxious and unattractive fellow who plays regularly at my club. I thought at first this fellow was just an abberation; but no, I saw a vestigial cousin of his at a very swanky club a few weeks after I met the former fellow. I suppose the moral is that people being who they are, there will always be in a crowd a few really fine folks, some who are so-so, and then, a few louts. I guess it would seem that Sergio may fit into the latter group or, to be more generous, perhaps he was just having a bad day, in which case we may forgive him.
