The New Rules of Golf
Watching tournament golf on the TV.
1 – The remote control is yours
In case you’ve forgotten, you’re the man of the house and, if it wasn’t for you, your beloved wouldn’t have a 56″ wall-mounted TV on which to watch Big Brother. Remind her of this next time the BMW PGA Championship clashes with Springwatch.
2 – Don’t get dressed up
What gives you the impression that getting changed into your golfing clothes is good practice for watching a tournament on your sofa? Would you dress up in a dinner suit to watch James Bond? No? Then get a grip.
3 – Chanting’s for football
“You’re not swinging anymore”? If you want to behave like your at a booze-fuelled work kareoke night, then go to a booze-fuelled work kareoke night.
4 – Leave your mates alone
mobile phones are brilliant inventions. Brilliant, but terrible. Because of them, the temptation to text your mates will always be hard to resist. For example, “Did U C Woods putt @ 12? LOL!” Nobody cares that much.
5 – Hide your credit card
Yes, the course looks nice and you might be in need of a holiday, but that’s no excuse for picking up the phone and paying for a luxury family holiday to the tournament resort so that you can follow in the footsteps of the guys on TV.
