just seams a bit harsh....maybe their is more to the story....maybe if we walked in his shoes...or lack there of.....and maybe if we showed a little compassion and kindness....then maybe we can call ourselves "real golfers" who are truly ambassadors of the game...
In debate strong language is used to make a point.

I love the tradition and etiquette of the game of golf, and I dislike the excuses that well meaning people sometimes make to excuse unacceptable behavior in ANYTHING.

He well could have been mentally ill, he could be having a diabetic drop, he could have just returned from losing a lot of money in Las Vegas. couldn't find his shoes, stole the dog and the cart, got some bad weed, or felt like finishing unfinished projects so he drank the rest of the alcohol in the house.

But..someone should have told him to take his dog home and get shoes.
