Are you a hugger or a shaker?

[Khamelion]

Reading the thread in 'The Lounge' regarding hat on or off courtesies at the end of a round got me pondering the question:-

Are you a hugger or a shaker?

The good ole firm handshake seems to be getting swallowed up by the hug, throwing your arms around someone instead of a handshake.

Me I would not thank anyone for a hug, all this poncy nonsense giving a bloke a cuddle, I mean really. A good hand shake will do every time and I don't mean any of the dipped fingers, cocked wrists masonic stuff, nor shaking someones hand then putting your free hand on top in a show of dominance.

Just a good ole fashioned hands out clasped together shake to show courtesy and respect.

Full on french kiss for me.

If you hug me after a round then you won't be getting a drink from me.. Keep your new age namby pamby shenanigans to yourself thank you very much. Polite handshake, thanks for the game..

I remember hugging you in the middle of the 18th fairway.......

I just go for the firm handshake on the course, but I have been known to give Rickg a hug.

Can't stand a limp handshake though.

Ah, but you're allowed Karen.. And it was a nice shot and deserved to be celebrated properly..

 

[richart]

Just as long as no one is a cross between a shaker and a hugger.

Love the "chest bump" option!!! Anyone ever seen this on a golf course!!??

Seem to remember a chest bump with Smiffy. We both had to have a rest for a few minutes to get our breath back.

No it wasn't matey.. Although I had just stuck a 5 iron to 15 feet (might have been a 6 iron to 30 feet)

Ah, but you hadn't partaken of the pre comp drinkies the day before.. The ideal preparation..

I tried a chest bump with Stu C once. I didn't wake up for 3 weeks and my wife had got re-married...

Noooo to hugging on the golf course - what is that about A nice handshake, and with ladies an additional peck on the check is given. I have not actually seen any hugging on the 18th Green - not even between connected mixed partners.

Can't stand a limp handshake though.

There's nothing quite as awkward as a limp handshake.

 

[SocketRocket]

Has to be a good firm handshake for the men, peck on the cheek for ladies.

I've shaken hands with Scouser and Odvan a few times on the 14th green, what's the etiquette for that?:whoo:

Hugging on a golf course, what sort of madness is this. The end of civilisation as we know it. A firm handshake and nothing more. End of.
