| We played at OCC not too long ago. I think it was the 18th green. We were already on the green when a ball landed close to the fringe (actually, about 20m off). We were a little peeved as it could've hit us. We didn't say anything and just walked off. At the club house, a guy came along and introduced his son. The father apologized profusely for his son's shot. He said that he didn't think his son could reach the green but obviously underestimated his ability. He asked his son to apologize which his son did though he seemed embarrassed. I thought that the father's behaviour was pure class. He could've said no more about it. He could have just lectured his son at home. He could have just brushed it off completely. Yet, he showed his son what golfing etiquette really is. For those who think that golf has degraded itself into a contact sport and gentlemanliness has gone the way of the dodo, this incident proves otherwise. Yes, they may be the exception rather than the rule but it's still a reminder that there are good golfers out there. If we can learn to emulate this especially for our younger generation, there's certainly hope for us (and the sport)  _________________ Clearing my Storeroom of golfing goodies.

| I have had a similar situation whereby a gentlemen whose shot went well over us, came over and shook our hands and apologies. I could never forget such gesture of etiquette. |

Excuse me... hustling is ungentlemanly conduct. _________________ Clearing my Storeroom of golfing goodies. Please help support  " A ball will always come to rest halfway down a hill, unless there is sand or water at the bottom." Henry Beard |

With the increasing use of belly putters, I would say putters should be short range with long range capabilities . But every misunderstanding should be settled with communication instead of violence. |

| This game is so demanding both mental and physical. A game that actually see the inner being. Throwing of clubs, flowery languages from almost all professions.
Patience and enjoy this beautiful game that train one's character to the limit. |
