c. the group in front of you is always playing too slow

d. the group behind you is always playing too fast

e. the greens are always too slow and the rough too high

f.if someone says they are trying to copy a tour players swing....triple the bet

g. never talk about 3 putting...talk about the one put you made

this should help get you better thru cocktail parties where golfers abound, you will bond more
Thanks! Now my golf-speak can improve even if my game doesn’t.
