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.

The Epochs convex radius posts, which are wider than any golf ball dimple, allow the tee to only interact with the exoskeleton of the golf ball. This reduces surface contact by 93 percent, compared to wood tees, allowing Tour pros to achieve distance and accuracy lost due to the wood tees inferior design. Evolve Golf’s tour-proven Pure Launch Technology enables the golf ball to launch without negative influences. The Epoch has been the tee of choice for professional golfers with 111 top 20 finishes on the PGA Tour including, 56 top 10s, 28 top 5s, and victories at The Bank of America Colonial and U.S. Bank Championship. “”After hitting a few drives with a wooden tee and then changing to the epoch, I felt a significant difference. The epoch looks and feels like a traditional tee while in your hand. As soon as the ball leaves the tee you know that this is something special,”" said Brett Quigley, PGA Tour Professional “”It felt as if the ball came off hotter with less spin. Evolve Golf has introduced a great concept that actually works and does what it is intended to do. I believe for the better player it will provide noticeable benefits,”" said Arron Oberholser, PGA Tour Professional. Until now, the Epoch performance golf tee has only been available in prototype form to professional golfers. Evolve Golf’s biocomposite material is 100% biodegradable. The fact that the epoch golf tee combines superior performance with a renewable energy source derived from plants; and reduces maintenance costs for golf facilities, represents significant steps forward on several fronts. Just as the introduction of the metalwood driver 25 years ago marked the impending extinction of the persimmon wood from the PGA Tour, the introduction of the epoch is sure to represent such a quantum leap forward in tee design and performance. It likely marks the beginning of the end for wood tees on the PGA Tour in the years to come. With the growing popularity of deep-face drivers pushing demand for 3″” tees, the Evol
