No Mulligans For Rude People

With many golfers already lacking basic etiquette and common courtesy on the course, it is time for rude golfers to respect others.

We know mankind cannot be perfect.

But, we also know that if there is a will, there is always a way.

I am not here to deliver a sermon to right the wrongs of others but I feel compelled to bring to light how “nasty” humans can be.

A conversation with an event manager of a high-profile amateur golf event brought back nightmares of my short stint as a public relations and sales manager at A’Famosa Golf Resort.

The event manager and her assistant related to me how “evil” some difficult golfers are over the phone.

The most disgusting habit that these Malaysians have are replying way past the tournament entry deadline, and threatening these innocent victims that they will call their client to complaint if they do not change the terms just to suit their whim and fancy.

How can they accuse an event manager for being incompetent when they did not read the terms and conditions stated?

And this event manager and the team members endure this every year. And, they tell me that it is not just the rich golfers that act like spoiled brats.
