I don't see snobbery as much as I see redneck golfers. I am not talking about the way they dress although there are some really sloppy looking players that grace our course. That doesn't bother me as much as the behavior of the players. The mindset seems to be, "I've payed my money and I'll do whatever I want on the course".

Ironically, they look amazingly hot on classy women. Go figure. EDIT: Wife-beaters that is. EDIT-EDIT: Well, handcuffs too I suppose.

You're right.  Ignorant means uninformed.  If they're a member, they know the bylaws, and therefore aren't ignorant. Stupid would be a more appropriate characterization...

I guess some are intimidated or suspicious of everything/everybody new. But after a few rounds everybody gets to know you and you become good friends with them, yeah? Kinda like life in general, no?

that is not an issue here..
personally i started to play 2 months ago and i am 30 years Old.
here in my country is not like there in the USA.
the Club Membership is payable and the month fee is 100 bucks.

BUT in my country there is no so much people that play Golf.
i started because of my work, and in a month i have to admit that now i have 3 more big customers.

for the records, i didnt think that Golf was so exiting and great sport...

the Snobs here... nahhh it doesnt matter we have no pro´s and the best player is -10 in a 72 par course (2 rounds 9 holes).

IMPORTANT: i have to excuse my bad spelling and sometimes my bad phrase construction... english is not my native language.

Uggh, no joke. Drunks especially (not limited to rednecks).

Driving carts all over the place, yelling, hitting multiple balls. Not to mention (and yet I will anyway) failure to fix divots, ball marks, etc. Falls under etiquette.

Dude, your English is better than half the stuff I see on message boards from people who grew up in the U.S. Don't sweat it. It's clear that you are trying hard.

Grogger...God help me but I laughed out loud!

Me too ... 'dangerous to health' type spontaneous laughter.

Hey! He doesn't have his Tour Card so he technically isn't a tour player

But isn't he a Euro PGA player now? "Nouvelle Euro Trash" Oui??

FYI, the mustard stain (as shown in that picture) is strictly an optional wife-beater add-on

I'll have to look for that option next time I'm in the states.

Oops, sorry.

Thanks Harry. Commonly known as a 'singlet' over here. We do understand your long-form description though. Don't know if too many wife-beaters wear them in Oz. They generally don't wear shirts, mostly handcuffs.

As they should!

(Hate to say the obvious, but "Oz" means Australia, right? Correct me if I'm wrong...just go on and ignore me if I'm right.)

I agree with Harry, you're doing well. Would you like us to help you out at all?

Sadly, now "dressed like a tour pro" isn't even sufficient to cover the most basic apparel requirements.

It's ??? Jeans on the golf course are akin to jeans on the ski slopes. Maybe you know what you're doing, but you've got to prove it.

I know, I have a set of them in assorted colors. He knows that full well.

(Beaters/ribbed tanks, not cuffs. Anything else, I am not obliged to indulge.) BAH! Back to subject! So...golf snobs, eh?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.

      My Favorite Putts

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.

      Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.
