If a member of the Forum posted some of these they'd be likely to receive an infraction.

Pathetic IMO.

Pathetic IMO.

What is? The innuendos, or the thread talking about it?

 

[Odvan]

This thread will determine those still getting some, and those, not

Get a grip.

If your not careful young man, someone may be assigned to finish you of. :lol:

I like to finish with a late squirt from behind

Nothing is more satisfying than being 1 down with two to play and winning on the final hole.

 

[virtuocity]

The former.

It just smacks of old-school patriarchy, and indicative of either sleazy or just plain lazy humour.

To find this stuff hosted on the website of a magazine that claims to be concerned about a decline in membership, simultaneously engaging in discussions on how to change the image of the game is the only 'funny' part.

Sorry Jezz, but I really wonder whether you'd be happy to use this as an example of your talent if/when applying for work elsewhere in future.

Knob, hole, shaft LOLZA

Yeah, pretty dire stuff this.

 

[Hacker Khan]

It is an article from over a year ago.

If you want to see that kind of thing done properly then http://viz.co.uk/category/cartoons/strip-cartoons/finbarr-saunders/ or

Fat Harry White was a legend who was broadcast on the Radio 1 breakfast show every day.

Jesus, lighten up people. If you're offended or turn your nose up at stuff like this then you need to take a Valium, or two. Better still, take the whole packet.

 

[BesCumber]

Or some may consider it post ironic.
Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more..

Not offended in the least, just surprised at the double standard.

And Peter Alliss got a reprimand for saying that an Open Winners wife might be looking forward to getting a new kitchen out of the winnings.
Doesn't make sense.

Not offended. Just amazed that GM would post something so bad.

I believe the term is faux outrage, according to the daughter.

I doubt anyone would have got infracted for posting that stuff on here as whilst you could argue about how funny it is, it's not really hugely offensive or does not contain those naughty swear words that golfers never use.

The bigger juxtaposition to me is the GM Facebook page, as if you read some of those comments they would be deleted from this forum in a matter of seconds with some of the potty mouth language they use on there.

And I suppose the biggest issue I have is why GM are tweeting links to this article that was written as I've said, well over a year ago. I kind of get that mags and papers need to post something on twitter every so many hours, and in the US I believe journalists have a tweet number they have to hit every day. But surely there are better things to link to than this or the one about dating golfers, which comes up rather a lot.

Certainly not offended, or turning my nose up (whatever that means), just had a read and thought it was just juevenile and boring.

As teenagers we were making jokes about holes, balls and stiff shafts back in the 80s, I'm sure others were doing it way before then.

Played in a scramble a couple of years ago, 3 guys and a lady. We hadn't used any of the lady's shots after 4 holes, on the 5th she hit a great 50 yard pitch to about 6ft. Being a gentleman, 65 year old Tom who was last to play said, "Oh no need for me to play then" however he nearly had a coronary when she replied "no it's fine, I don't mind if you get inside me". Now THAT was funny at the time 😃

[dufferman]

I cringed when I read that "article".

 

[MikeH]

the vast vast majority of our online content is pretty serious but we do the odd light hearted 'humour' based one like this.

I'm sorry if anyone was offended by this but it was clearly titled as '18 funniest golf innuendoes' so I'd have thought you'd have a pretty clear idea of what the tone of the content would be before clicking on a link. Its not like we titled it "latest CONGU handicapping changes" and got you to the page under false pretences

It's quite a modern phenomenon but it seems like some folk just want to read and then comment on stuff they are offended/outraged by things these days

I've just re read the piece (its 18 months old) and yes it's a bit Sid James but not untypical of some of the chat/banter call it what you will that I might have now and then with my mates while I'm playing a round of golf

not sure what those who were offended by this chat about during their Saturday fourball... is it only serious stuff like Brexit, the state of the economy, your greens in reg stats, the bounce on your wedges?

as I say apologies if it genuinely offended anyone
