Sexual harassment on the golf course

[GoodLife]

a letter to the editor in the online news

Last Sunday while playing at Mallory as I and another female were teeing off the sprinklers were turned on. Two workers were seen nearby. This appeared deliberate. Has this happened to other women? Please speak up. This cannot be tolerated.

LOL, The Reckoning has arrived in our home town. Hard to tell if she is serious or joking.

Consider the source....the online news.

[GoodLife]

Consider the source....the online news.

The source is the letter writer for starters. Are you saying that stories posted at this site about accidents, arrests, and other news stories are all fictional? The lady did sign her name under the letter. I don't know if she was serious or not, just thought it funny. YMMV

[Bogie Shooter]

No.

[Wiotte]

Too bad there aren’t any wet T shirt pic’s. Lol

Hey, this happened to me on number 8 green on Virginia at Mallory. Do they have female water turner on-ers and was I being harassed? Who knew?

[rjm1cc]

What made this sexual harassment? If the golfers were male and the two standing people were female is it still sexual harassment? I think the word sexual is not appropriate.

[geofitz13]

Once, I had a lie in the middle of the fairway, where I had to take a stance with the sprinkler between me and the ball. The sprinkler went off in the middle of my backswing. Stuff happens. Some courses have the sprinklers on timers.

Sexual harassment?
Itsa joke right?

[GoodLife]

No.

No? To what? Online new sources are not believable? There are never drunk drivers or thefts here? You don't think the letter was funny? Please explain so everyone can understand.

You are posting on an "online" forum. Is everything posted here false?

I want to believe its a joke but you never know.

C'mon man!

I love the poor parking photos in the online paper. Please don't tell me they are photoshopped or pics taken elsewhere.

[graciegirl]

I read it and I think the poster was aiming at humor. The one on the online news.

[graciegirl]

That's an "online" source so you gotta be skeptical :22yikes:

Are you willing to testify that you actually posted your comment?

I THINK what the poster was TRYING to say is that he didn't agree with the online news.

You are a little "new" here so you may not know that this Forum hasn't allowed us to discuss the online news or call it by it's other name. So I don't think he meant online news in the broader sense but the **************.

Let's see if that got through the censors.

I think sir or madam you are taking a tone on here that we aren't used too. But we all believe in the first and the second amendment, so let 'er rip.

I don't think that women were sexually harassed if two male Golf course workers turned on the sprinklers.

I don't think that men were sexually harassed if two female Golf course workers turned on the sprinklers.

I agree with the always reasonable posters who don't make mountains out of molehills and don't see a tempest in a teapot.

Anyone here see a tempest in a teapot? I see a letter to the editor that is pretty funny given recent news reports.

I'm done. Where is the back up.

[GoodLife]

I'm done. Where is the back up.

Why would you need backup? This is a post about letter to the editor, I think it's very funny in light of all the recent sexual harassment reports in the news. If you read the other comments on this thread you will see that most see it as a joke. Nobody takes it seriously!

[Bogie Shooter]

So many questions.

Yep, I'm sure it was meant as a joke. :D

"The Poster" can certainly speak for themselves. I'm not new here by any means, my parents and uncle bought here in the 90s and I own several properties here.

This forum certainly allows discussion of any news, including the "online newspaper" as long as you do not include links. As far as I know, the "online news" does not post false info. Feel free to refute that with credible sources

Who the heck is "we" and what "tone" are you referring to? Last I checked its an open forum and if you disagree with my posts or opinions you are free to say what you want.

[Miles42]

A joke right?

[rubicon]

Well actually some time back I was standing on the practice green at Truman, dropped two golf balls on the fringe to practice putting and the guy turned on the sprinklers, one of which was directly below me. As a result I was wet head to toe and to add insult to injury soaked my new golf ensemble

I wanted immediately told my foursome i was going to sue because of two obvious facts. I would make claim that the act was accidental vis a vis intentional because insurance companies don't cover intentional acts. Secondly as a result of that accident I was sure to come down with some disease from that filthy water.

Dan Newlin would be happy to handle my claim:D

P.S. the story is true

Personal Best Regards:

[rjn5656]

It has happened to me. It has happened to me and my wife. Get a life lady.

[dewilson58]

Agree.

And don't park your Vette by a sprinkler head.

[Bay Kid]

I thought this was a joke?

[Taltarzac725]

I have had to run for it a few times while walking the dog on the sidewalk near the golf courses.

[Bogie Shooter]

A joke right?

Which post?

[HOPSKIPJUMP]

You know that very thing happened to me ion Mallory the other day. At first I thought it was sexual harassment but then it was raining so I opened my umbrella, but that didn't help either then I realized my depends were leaking. OH WELL

Humor is a wonderful thing. Kudo's to a joke I get easily.

[DonH57]

Some time ago I was at the driving range at Glenview. The sprinklers came on at one end of the range. Those of us at the other end couldn't help but snicker as did a couple of the others who had to escape. A couple of guys really blew their stack cursing and threw down their clubs. Fun times!

[karostay]

Were you offered a free round of golf ?

[billethkid]

The fact that this subject warranted being published in the dot com news is a testimony to it's farcical content.

Truly in the category of picking fly specs out of the pepper!!!

[fishon]

Snowflakes

[autumnspring]

Snowflakes

So little that is TRULY IMPORTANT to complain about.

I just saw a cartoon a not attractive female wants to sue her boss with a reputation. The complaint discrimination by not attacking her because she is ugly.

[trichard]

Are you kidding!

[Dynsol]

If the post was true...I say Get a life. If not, Good joke on all......

[rubicon]

We are all only passing time on TOTV. Gathering some information, sharing idea and keeping the old synapse firing ...uh er what was I saying:)

I would recommend to read the basics about "sexual harassment" before posting.

LOL, The Reckoning has arrived in our home town. Hard to tell if she is serious or joking.Ridiculous. I have golfed many times where the sprinklers have come on, unannounced. I have never considered it sexual harassment LOL. Greens have to be watered, sometimes even WHEN people are playing.

Good point.

Along those same lines, it would behoove all to study/learn about the actions that all too many (men & women) accept as 'normal'...but which actually fall into the 'sexual harassment' category.

Or, one could just look at some of the posts in the recent threads on this subject whereby the accuser gets attacked...and it becomes pretty clear why so many cases are not reported.

While I'm guessing the 'opinion letter' the OP referenced in the online news was meant as being facetious and to be funny, there is also the possibility that the male workers purposely turned it on the women...as a form of harassment.

I guess we'll never really know. :shrug:

Not as long as we follow along with the new religion of what others think is right and wrong (politicial correctness now taught in the Universities) and not use our good sense, life experience and innate logic.

Not all men who have been named as offenders are guilty as charged and not all people who are guilty have been named. It takes one lie to ruin a person's good name and it is horrible when the charges are false and less than complete and not honest. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. I am not saying all men are innocent. We are not programmed to live a celibate life. It is born into us to be physically attracted to another and we need to learn to play by the rules of fairness since one gender is usually bigger and stronger and the other is smarter. (Sorry, I just couldn't help myself) (just kidding)

All people who live in glass houses need to be

MIGHTY NERVOUS. Man or woman.

I forgot to add..."And the behavior is excused or accepted."

This is off the original topic, but I was at Evans Prairie this morning and had my cart parked next to the putting green behind the Golf Shop; a maintenance worker was checking out the sprinklers and as they came on, it sprayed me and my cart. I didn't say anything because the guy was doing his job, I didn't melt and my cart wasn't damaged; I just went on and putted. Afterward, the worker apologized for having to turn the sprinklers on and told me he's had numerous people go bat-whack crazy on him because they get wet when he has to check them out. Ah, the privileged/entitled.

[rjn5656]

I never do.

I never do.

Some do and some don't and some take a bus.
