Arguments on the Course

photo credit: Johan Lange   Golf is a stressful game which can turn into an emotional roller-coaster.  Whenever feelings run this high, the possibility for confrontation is always lurking.  Sometimes, for the smallest of reasons, an argument can disrupt and ruin what was, a fun round of golf.

Golf is known as a ”gentle-men’s game” but sometimes even a gentle person can get caught up in a vocal broo-ha-ha.  If ever an argument occurs, keep your opinions to yourself and stay out of the conversation.  Remaining quiet provides a way for any argument to lose steam.  In almost every case, expressing an opinion adds fuel to the fire.  If things get too heated, simply call it quits and head for the clubhouse.  It may be time to look for some new playing partners.
