Now I realize that for some people the most important about golf is where they are going to lunch afterward. But many of us take the game seriously and work at it. We want to play well and shooting a good score or hitting a great shot is what gives us pleasure. If you are someone that doesn't take the game seriously that's fine, but you should show some respect to the game and to your fellow golfers by learning, understanding and obeying the rules of etiquette that have been a part of the game for centuries.
