Sometimes men do feel insecure especially if you are a very good golfer. Heck WOMEN feel insecure if you are a very good golfer.

I played golf with three guys (one my husband) for many years on Saturday morning at our club back in Ohio, sort of a time most men played primarily. Mind you, I am not a great golfer but at that time I could hit it a bit ...quite a bit farther than I can now. But I knew the rules of golf and moved along and was on a level that I could keep up, and sometimes I could feel the...interest in the group behind me if I could keep up . Well I could and I hit from the ladies tees and we played ready golf and never was as good as the guys but I did o.k. and never was made to feel bad.

Now many times in the girls groups I play with here a lone fellow joins us, and we try to always make him feel comfortable. We have always had the same level of fun with three of one and one of the other gender and may kid him a bit for hitting so long.. Try just to shrug it off. Most people engage their mouths before their brains.
