Stems from the laughing thread, just wondering if anyone has done something out on the course to then later find out that your playing partners hate it.
Example.....
I am terrible when it comes to bad language, nothing phases me and every possible swear can and will come out of my mouth if I feel it's appropriate. So, this past weekend in club champs, I'm playing with two blokes who are right jack the lads, ones a tiler/plumber, ones a builder both of them got a bit of a cockney/essex twang when they speak, you know the kind of bloke. Anyway, I make a right pigs ear of the par 5 4th and the par 3 5th, pulling my tee shot on the 5th behind some trees, I try and flop it over but it falls short into a bunker which then takes me two to get out of, when I eventually get out it's because I have taken to little sand and fired the ball out the back of the green into a ditch......I didn't lose my temper but I did the usual "Oh Swanny, you absolute c***" then walking off the green, "I'll try to not play that hole like a c*** this afternoon", it's the kind of language I have become accustomed to playing with my regular playing partner Daveyc2k2 (R2D2).
Anyway, a couple holes later one of my playing partners misses a 2 footer for bogey and is so upset he says "That was a c***" or something along the lines that, at which point his mate says, "Unlike you to use that word" the conversation develops and it turns out that both of them really despise the word, hate hearing it and will almost never ever say it......cue me wanting the ground to swallow me up as I had said it about a billion times already in that round.
Lesson learnt, don't judge a book by it's cover and try to keep the bad language to a minimum!
