Thanks guys. The explanations were great but as with many others in the post, I think you would have to be pretty much of a prick to chastise some ones support. To me, that's all that it is,
is support. If I were caddying for someone and I was asked not to speak, I would consider that request as part of the job and honor it but not playing with a bunch of your pards and having fun. Sounds to me pretty much like a political correctness slam. Lord help you if you might say the wrong thing to the wrong person. I'd like to think that golf is still a game and we should be able to go out with friends or competitors and have a good time without worrying about what may come out of your mouth.
