Mr Captain the first time, then first name...rabbits captain? Well I'd just tell him to....off......
"Sir" and "Mr Captain"??????????????????
Feck me, you're having a laugh aren't you?
If somebody "expected" me to call them either of those titles on the way round I'd chuck this game in
I'm all for etiquette but that's extracting the urine
I don't think any of our captains would expect to be called Mr Captain or Sir. If they did, I wouldn't.
It's just more a bit of fun coupled with a bit of tradition. At our place, it is a semi-mocking term of address. No-one takes it seriously - least of all the Captain.
I'm playing in a fourball tomorrow with the club captain and the Rabbit's captain. Do I refer to the captain as Mr Captain all day or just the 1st time I addrsss him ?
address them as Mr Captin? are you kiddin? this is a golf club not the army. get yourself out of their arse and stop boot licking before you come down with cherry blossom poisoning.
first name plane and simple.
AH, the game of golf really is going down the swanee isn't it. Footie shirts, cargo pants, trainers and jeans in clubhouses. The Captain is Mr Captain it is tradition of our fine game. A lot of traditions are being washed over too easily. No one is asking anyone to lick anyones backsides. It is golfing tradition that is all and should remain as so. I'm working class, but I understand and respect our traditions and am happy to try to uphold them where practical to do so.

Certainly not, it's not traditional besides who's making the dinner?AH, the game of golf really is going down the swanee isn't it. Footie shirts, cargo pants, trainers and jeans in clubhouses.

then do you agree with women playing golf?
Kid's still call teacher Sir or Miss, where's the difference? It is just traditional not a sign of subservience.AH, the game of golf really is going down the swanee isn't it.
