Is golfing etiquette a thing of the past?
Could it be down to the fact that older members dont get a chance to interact with younger players? Or could it be that people are no longer able to accept criticism when 'guided' towards the proper way to play by others?
I see newbies of all ages doing things wrong but I know if I approach the subject I will get some sharp response from them so now I dont bother. As a new golfer I loved learning the way the game should be played and would say that etiquette lessons are more important than playing lessons.
I can see an annual decline in standards to the point that the old saying 'Drive for show .. Putt for dough' should be changed to 'Drive for show ... CHEAT for dough'.
Am I turning into a grumpy old man or does my point hold any water?
