It was out of order. But its done. Just forget about it. Not worth dwelling on it.

Out of order but its nothing worth fighting over really if they were only joking around.

I reckon I would have been pretty annoyed, purely because the wife was there. I dont mind a bit banter, in fact I kinda like it, but its a bit much when your looking to have a good night with the missus and people start booing, I guess in jest it is not as bad, but still uncalled for in the clubhouse, wouldn't put myself out by leaving or looking to move clubs though, maybe the quiet word or distainful looks would suffice, and maybe they should have bought you's a few drinks too!!

I would be using any vouchers won purchasing a replacement 3 wood as my old one would be wrapped round his throat.

If you don't like your 4 iron why would you replace it?

This is a difficult one to call unless present to 'feel' the context of the booing.
We had a big prize night on Friday and one prize winner was a chap who has come through a lot of personal problems and has had many of us offering a wee bit advice as and when required.
When his name was called out and he stood up to make the walk, there were many calls of bandit and booing. Writing this makes it seem bad BUT it was all great fun, the winner had hands clenched, cup raised above head and had the biggest smile ever. Why?? Because he knew we were all his pals and were so pleased for him and had proved it in the past and there was not one bit of hurtfulness in the air!
It made the formal hand shake feel all the better...from the same guys!
That's the 'feel' I was referring to above.
If you can relate to any of the above, on your big night, forget leaving the club..it is what some guys do without malice, although HID might not understand.
If your club is very formal and the behaviour was deemed to be OTT, the committee should step in on your behalf.

Leave your club. If you didn't take it as a joke or don't think it was meant as such then it probably wasn't and no body likes you.
Sometimes people boo for fun but on occasions it's because they don't like the person involved!
I don't know much about your relationship but I can have a laugh with my partner and my friends at the same time and with there wives, more so when we are pulling the keys out of the bowl.

And there was me thinking your username was to do with golf.

Haha, you wouldn't have thought that if you'd have seen my swing!

Are we talking golf, now, or are you boasting again ?
Agreed that I think you needed to be there to understand the context fully. Is it possible though that your wie doesn't quite understand the "banter" and so has taken it out of context. Think of it as dressing room humour in a football team. Would your wife understand and appreciate that sort of camaraderie?
Its difficult to see how a few boos even misplaced would want to make you leave a club especially if these were supposedly mates. Perhaps you are sub-consciously feeling like you don't fit in. Its a difficult one but perhaps have a chat with these guys when they are sober and see if them upseeting your wife has any reaction. If they still treat it as humourous then you either need to get some new mates or indeed think about changing clubs

I reckon it was mild banter and should be treated as just that, Mrs or no Mrs. Surely she's aware boys will be boys (even in the Clubhouse)I would quite like to win a trophy and get booed by my mates. As it is..... well enough about me..

A few of us played in the Hever Open in May.
The guy that won it was a member, and as he walked up to receive his prize there were a few mutterings from a section of players in the clubhouse and one of them shouted out "what handicap did you play off?" (or something similar).
Don't know the history behind the comment, but the guy that had won was really upset by it. Livid in fact.
He wouldn't accept his prize and in fact donated it to the upcoming juniors competition.
It really did spoil his big day. Bearing in mind the weather conditions (the course should have been closed due to the rain) the guy must have played exceptionally well to score how he did.
It's a shame that a few spoiled it for everybody.

That sounds very different Smiffy, almost like there was a bit of ropey history.
I'm sorry, but the more I read this thread, the more I think my initial tongue in cheek comment was about right, Parmo has been a right stuffed shirt here. the guys are probably having a laugh, which again comes back to the club atmosphere, is it a decent lively club, or a pompous oaf club, seems like the former and Parmo should be at the latter.

Agreed. Just posted it to show that it may not have been just the receipient of the "banter" that was upset by it.
If other people at the prize giving were not "in on the joke" then they would have gone away from the evening with bad memories of what should have been a fun night.

If it was me and I was booed like that, I'd have celebrated even more. It sounds like banter to me.
