They may like to say: "I was just playing or funning." But it is NOT funny when you are discouraging the new golfers. Even though you are liking to say you were not meaning to discourage the newbies. You can state that ....but it doesn't make it true. You were bullying & putting down others.
I think using the word bullying is a little harsh. Sometimes people need to have a little sense of humor. It gets to be no matter what someone says, someone takes offense to it. Hard to think a light hearted thread on TOTV would make someone decide to "never" golf.
