Becoming a golf snob?

[sydney greenstreet]

Sorry if it came across that way but I'm neither a snob nor ignorant.

Some people who play on pay and play courses won't have any idea that you are supposed to repair pitch marks, not stand on putting lines etc. They don't know because they arent aware of it. Not their fault if they dont play with more experienced players who can educate them.

I dont get in a strop about that when I play on pay and play courses for that reason (which I do regularly with friends who have only just started playing).

I would expect a member of a private club who has presumeably payed hansomely for the privilege of joining to be more clued up on what to do and what not to do though.

I couldn't care less if someone turns up with slightly dirty shoes or has their shirt hanging out

No probs. I play a pay and pay course with a mon-fri membership, and Yes there are those who know nothing about etiquette, but then the same can be said about private courses. A member does not mean they know all about golf behaviour it is the individual and not the type of course who is at fault.

Agreed.

If there is any 'snobbery' in golf... Its in where you play and what you swing... Which reflects life/society in general I suppose...
