So I don't see where he did ANYTHING offensive in the Golf Shop. I am just assuming that we are getting a correct telling (from him) of the story. Maybe the lady had some REAL reason to challenge him. That's the idea of "BOTH sides of a story".
........Now it is NOT true that everybody in TV Land acts as an equal to everyone else. That would be like socialism, which IS the DIRTIEST concept ever in the Village Bubble. I have had, recently, someone at a softball game treat me with disrespect and like a 3rd-class citizen. Softball players can be very self-indulgent and "grumpy". The same day I played doubles tennis and was shown respect and equality. There are many other examples HERE of people thinking of themselves as SUPERIOR (for one reason or another) here in Bubble Town. I could ONLY DREAM about everyone treating each other as EQUALS.
.........And with respect to him saying that he was a CEO of a Fortune 500 company - I think that he wanted to ESTABLISH early on that he was NOT just some BOZO off of the street that did NOT understand the dress standards of the game of Golf. It seemed a little elitist, but NOT so much for a top executive of a LARGE company. I have known worse people with LESSER credentials. So, I think that to a certain extent, he was just establishing his bonafides here in La, La, land since he IS a NEWBIE.

No one said a word about wearing shorts, and you'd be well served to Google the definition of "Socialism"...
Acting like an equal to everyone els is NOT it...
