Why are people who play Golf so serious when it comes to non-golfers asking questions about the game?
I ask a question about Why ‘FORE’ is shouted when teeing off and instead of answering the question I get bombarded by people telling me When it is shouted!. Cant they just relax and answer the question?. I am not interested in Golf or its little quirks and customs but if I wanted to know When fore was shouted I would have said WHEN and not WHY. I was interested in the history of the word not the etiquette of the game.
You may have just asked the wrong people. Just because someone plays a sport you can’t expect them to know every little tid-bit of information about its rules and history.
Someone on here said that golfers think that they are a cut above, that’s a very broad and incorrect statement, they’re are people in EVERY sport from EVERY social class that feel that they are better than others for no reason. Basketball players, Football players, Cheerleaders; hell, some blue collar people think that they’re better than those with money and vice-versa.
If you want an answer for your question don’t just ask a FEW people then classify everyone that is associated with that activity as “serious” people whom bombard you with wrong info.
If you are interested in the history of the word look it up, hell Google it, I’m sure you can find an answer.
