Serious golfers, please answer.....?

Question

My husband and I love to golf. He has visible tattoos and I have visible piercings. At the courses that we play at in our area people look at us crazy and are rude to us. Like today, someone told me to move my cart instead of asking. I love golfing, but i don't understand why people at our local courses are so rude. Are all courses this way? I have never experienced rudeness anywhere else quite like this because of piercings and tattoos. thanks.

Answer 1

ther old people arnt they???

Answer 2

i have never herd of anything like this but it is probably because they are used to seeing the stereotypical golfer. i think if u adress them in a nice manner than they could see beyond the tattoes and piercings.

Answer 3

Why did anybody have to ask you to move your cart?  Did you park it at the wrong place?  Are you familiar with golf etiquettes?  Dressed properly?

Answer 4

This is an example of the good old Judging a book by its cover proverb. Just be polite and understand that some peoples ignorance will cause them to stereotype you because of your appearance. That is their problem, not yours. Get a good reputation at the course by being polite and following proper golf ediquett. Offer to pair up with another different couples to create a foursome. If you have a good impression on them, word will spread

Answer 5

I'm assuming you've done nothing else to cause all the hostility..

No. Not all courses are as you've described. But some obviously are. C'est la vie.

Just enjoy yourselves and ignore the dweebs. That'll annoy them even more. :-)

Answer 6

I would remind the offending person that A) You and they paid the same fees and have the same responsibility to the courtesy of the game.  2) Report them to the course marshal 3) remind them that Alice Cooper is a VERY low HC golfer.  rock ON!

Answer 7

its because u look like u are more likely to rob someone than actually make a par.
