Don't worry about dead beats, keep on smiling and enjoy your chipping. Man , would I. Love to play a round of golf with you. You did the right thing.
I appreciate that! Thank you so much!
Sometimes there are people looking for a fight. The guy didn't think you were new to the game, he just wanted to share how long he's been playing. Great you focused on the positive and talk to someone else who was being kind... Great video, because it's good to know a problem before you have to deal with the issue. Hope others can just walk away too.
Thank you so much!
I am eighty years old and I have run into a few people like that. Luckily only a few. They usually play alone. No one else will put up with them. I admire what you do. I have learned from you. Thank you. Jim
Thank you so much!
SO true
@@goutfromfriedokra3936 I'm going to do a follow-up video tomorrow but I don't feel right mentioning the course.
He is a male version of a Karen. You just ran into a Kevin
Spend that much time around golf you’ll run into one like that guy. You handled it right and the starter did too. Fairways and greens, dude!!
Sounds like you handled that as well as anyone possibly could. I’d be honored to chip with you on any green at any time.
That means a lot to me! Update coming soon.
You're a class act; so is the starter. I hope the guy runs across your videos, especially this one.
Thank you for your support!
Yeah, he sounds like he's going through life looking for stuff to be right about. That's a long, hard road.
It is a miserable way to live. Thank you!
I took a starter job. Done with that now. (Yes, I am old). It provided me free golf. We always had two members that thought they were in charge. I had to get the manager several times. I hate self-importance, pomposity. It is absolutely NEGATIVE energy. At the course, it SHOULD be a relaxing, fun place. I used to tell folks, any issues with patrons, call the clubhouse, I will get informed, I will deal with it, you focus on your round. Momma always said, smile, it is free, and people like it. The older I get, her words are more true.
So true! Mom's are always correct!
Sounds like you handled this much better than I would have. I started laughing when I imagined how different my brother's reaction to this troublemaker would have been and what he would have said.
Update today!
I used to belong to a "country club" in a small town that had a number of members who tried to pretend they were the authorities. Too bad he didn't challenge you to a match so you could have shown him how new to golf you were!😂
I thought about that!
Hello MSH! I've watched your videos for some time now and have always enjoyed them but was never subscribed. I finally subscribed today. It's unfortunate some people are just jerks and miserable in general. You know how the saying goes " Hurting people hurt." Props to you for how you handled yourself and the situation. Good luck on your upcoming tournament. Have a blessed day my friend!
I really appreciate you subscribing. Video coming today and will also give a quick tournament update tomorrow. Thank you!
There are folks like this everywhere so please don't let them bother you. Don't put your emotional well-being in the hands of those who don't deserve it. I love the way you always work to improve, and you certainly are helping me do so! Keep up your great work!
Thank you so much Todd!
Thanks for all you do. Love your videos. People like that are just high conflict personalities. Something about them thrives on conflict with other people and they have a constant desire to control others. They often create conflict just to feed that desire.
Update today!
Every golf course has a couple of these guys. They think they own the place.
Exactly right! For the price of their $40 green fee 😂
As an American born dude that has an uncanny resemblance to Pablo Escobar, I can tell you that unfortunately stereotypes and prejudice still exist on some golf courses. Like you said, there are some people in the world that are just jerks. I just it movin and don’t let these types ruin my day.
Thank you so much!
I never say this - but I believe the comment was racially motivated. He assumed that you didn’t not spend your life on a golf course and wanted to whitesplain. It’s unfortunate but I’ve encountered that at some of older country clubs.
Thank you so much!
Hate when this sort of stuff happens. I had that happen once when I was on the putting green with my kid. I wrote it off pretty quickly, but it left an impression on my child and we talked about it later. Sounds like you handled it well!
Thank you so much for the support!
Small minded self-loathers are everywhere. Ignore him and keep the entertaining videos coming.
Will do!
Love your videos. I've played golf for 68 years and still learn from people like you. I'm also a starter at our course. We do sometimes have people like the person you described. Your starter friend summed him up perfectly. He's a jerk.
Thank you so much for the support!
You handled it better than I would. I would have told him to go pound sand at the bunker lol but I'm an old grumpy combat veteran. I don't but up with Karen's from anywhere. Kudos to for your patience 🙌.
Thank you so much and thank you for your service!
Thank you for sharing that. As I have mentioned before, I am new to golf and been learning on my own for the last 3 yrs (seasons for me because 6mths out of the year I have snow). I agree with you, if everyone chips there that it should be Ok for you too. I played in my first Senior Tournament last year (only have to be 50 in our area and I'm 51 now) and one of the gentlemen that was in our group was rude to me and always tried to hurry me up, even though it was fine for him to take his time. Finally, a different gentleman in our group told this guy to knock it off and that this guy (me) was new to golf. I did apologize to this guy for "slow" playing but over all, my experience in my first Senior Tournament was good and I'm glad another gentleman said something.
If you have a subscriber Sunday idea that may help you let me know. Thank you so much for the support!
well awesome for asking. I have to work on my wedge game. learn the 56 and 60 degree. like the flop shots and punching out of thick grass. When i practice on a flat surface and on matts, i know im stricking the ball well, its on the course that i have trouble with like the thick grass and the hills/slopes. Cover something like that would be great.@@mistahshorthitter
There are just some miserable individuals in this world and they like to try to bring everyone down with them. You handled it perfectly. These people are best defeated by staying calm and refusing to argue with them. Easier said than done sometimes. Hope your match went well.
Thank you so much! You are so right! Update coming soon.
I enjoy you playing other courses maybe Glenwoody or Naperbrook?
Springbrook coming soon! I'll try Glenwoodie too.
@@mistahshorthitter George W. Dunne National,
Home course sheriff's. Self appointed protectors of the course are sadly at every course. But to hear that this guy doubled down while trying to one up you is just pathetic.
Thank you!
You know exactly what it is. Keep doing what you do Brotha ✊🏾
He’s lucky Mr. Short Hitta is a nice guy. That’s all I’ll say.
Thank you, I will!
Yes!
I’m truly new to golf and really appreciate your channel. So hearing about this experience will gets me ready for similar situations I may experience. Thanks.
Thank you for the support! Keep a level head and you will be fine.
Perfect response to this guy trying to run the show. Rules?? What rules?? Haha! Oh my....sounds like a little ego was involved.
Thank you!!
What made him think you were new to golf ?
Man, you already know.
Sigh, that jerk was just another Karen, put on this planet to make others miserable.
You handled it perfectly.
Thank you so much!
Don’t sweat it. Some people are just that way. Unfortunately some folks are just confrontational and sometimes the older someone gets the more cantankerous they become. I think anyone who’s been around the course enough has had a small issue. Good on you for taking the higher road. Nothing good could come from a full out argument and someone like that will want the last word or action no matter what. Appreciate you and enjoy your content. Cheers from Massachusetts.
Thank you so much!
Unfortunately there always has to be that one guy. Let it be like water off a ducks back. Life must be hard when they carry around all that hate. Keep on doing what you do
Thank you!
Yep that guy is a jerk. Unfortunately there are jerks who play golf and you had the bad luck of meeting one. If you are ever confronted by him again, just say yes I'm fairly new to golf but let's go have a game for 10 bucks a hole. He will be outa there fast. You have loads of friends here who have your back. Keep up the great content and onward to 10k subs. Cheers !
Paul every so often there is a comment that really touches my heart and you did that. I try to be a good person and I hope that viewers appreciate and understand this is the real me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Just came across your channel. If he's been playing for 60 years that would make him at least 70 years old (my age) and he just wanted to make you feel inferior while making himself feel superior. TOTAL FAIL. You handled it perfectly and I'm sure he knew you weren't new to the game if he saw you chipping before he proved his "jerkness". LOL! Some people are born jerks and unfortunately, there's no medication for that. BTW, just subscribed.
I appreciate you watching and subscribing. Your words are kind. I pride myself on always trying to do the right thing. Thank you so much Gary!
The best we can do is pray for him. The only person I get mad at while golfing is myself! And you're not supposed to do that. Most people leave their jerk self at home while golfing. This guy has bigger issues.
No doubt about it!
If I see a potential issue that is questionable, I’ve adopted the thought process that “I’m not the cops”. That keeps me from opening my mouth and removing all doubt that I could be a jerk! 😉
I wish everyone were like you! Thank you!
MSH no worries, you handled with class and dignity !!! I have learned over time to simply ignore folks like that. I am sure he is a most unhappy person, and you almost have to feel sorry for him, as he missed a chance to meet knowledgeable and friendly golfer in you. MSH I would happily putt, chip or play with you anytime anywhere. Your virtual friend from Buffalo NY!
You are correct! I would have been happy to talk about this great game with him! Thank you!
I would have called you new to golf too if you weren't draining all those chips, especially if you were leaving them out there 2 feet from the hole🤣 Seriously though, don't worry about dead beats like that dude, there's at least one at every course unfortunately. Enjoy all of your videos and thanks for the tips!!
Thank you for your support!
He probably can't break 90 and loses 3 balls a round. Probably uses old top flights still. I bet he has more 3 putts in a round than you have 2 putts. Guy probably takes mulligans 4 times a round. He just sucks
Thank you!
Perfectly handled! Appreciate you sharing this incident.
Thank you Jeffrey!
MSH, don't let fools upset you or your lifestyle. If there is no signage, it's irrelevant if you chip there or not. The indvidual that challenged you is the one with the problem. I think of these people as oxygen thieves!
@@stevenorr3196 I agree!!
Had a course marshall be that jerk to me at one of the local muni's here. No groups 2 holes behind us and on 9, 13, and FREAKING 17, he comes up and tells us we need to pick up the pace and that were slowing the course down....with no groups 2 holes behind us the entire time.
When he came up on the middle of 17 I said "If I wanted to spend 75 bucks just to get bitched at, I woulda just paid the Hulu bill and not taken the trash out." Dude was gobsmacked that there was any pushback at all, and just left us alone to finish our last 1.5 holes of golf. Who does that?
It was like he got to the course and thought "Huh. Not enough insufferable jerks out here today. Lemme change that."
Wont play another stroke there.
Thank you for the support!
"There are some people in the world that are just jerks" - true story. And there is no amount of effort that will ever fix that. That just who they are. Be well my friend
Thank you so much!
Well from a course management point of view they could add sings everywhere that say: putting / chipping / chipping&putting
This way nobody has to guess or even worse bully people
If you have to guess at a place you're not familiar with always go to the staff and the pros FIRST before confronting any players. You know etiquette is something that makes this sport enjoyable for everybody, lets keep it that way
The compromise would have been to join in putting until he is finished putting. It could well be that the chipping was irritating him. It's a sign the a players focus is not where it should be: strike ball clean and roll into hole. If you have trouble with focus, a mixed chipping/putting green is the right place to overcome this. Get over it and start to focus harder
The next video confirmed the green was for chipping. Thank you for watching!
From the movie Cobra ( just another asshole that woke up hating the world) To bad I wasn’t there, it WOULD have Escalated. But good way to handle the situation.
Thank you!
Karen's and Ken's on the golf course now. There's no safe place in the world to find your happy place. You handled it perfectly because you didn't let him stop you from doing something you've been doing for 8 years. Great videos!!👍🏽
Thank you!
Glad the started intervened. Pretty sure the “gentleman” didn’t actually think about your game. Just a projection of his own narrow mind. I love short game practice too!
Thank you for the support!
Personally, I would have told the punk to "kick rocks" after a moment or two.... nonetheless, you handled this well ... 👍👍
Thank you!
It’s an ugly truth but we all know why he thought you were new to golf. As a member at a local club it was almost a year before members stopped asking me if I was a guest or not. Eventually I won them over and they realized I was supposed to be there. Now I’m the 6’3” 250lb black guy with green eyes who wears a big hat and talks with everyone in the club house and on the course. I’m sorta like Norm from Cheers. Love your videos.
Thank you so much!
Sounds to me like you were putting with your wedge from a few feet off the green. 🙂
You got it! 😁
Hey, I'm proud of the way you handle the situation. I've had confrontations like that, and I don't have the calmness you have. So, at one point, I told the guy where he could go, "not a nice place "
But keep playing, brother. Idiots like that are everywhere.
Thank you so much!
It sounds like you're a better chipper than he is and he didn't like it. Keep smiling. People like that can't deal with it. New subscriber here & really enjoying your content.
@Jeff.Slavich Thank you, Jeff!
Exact same thing happened to me. My response was- I’ve forgotten more about golf than you’ll ever know.
Good response!
Use to be able to hit your own golf balls and pick them up at driving ranges. Now, you have to pay 10 or 15 dollars for 25 balls.. lol.. crazy times.
Thank you!
Misery loves company. He’s being a grump because of some unhappiness in his life and usually it’s not worth arguing and ruining your peaceful practice time. Go around a mud-hole, not through it. Life’s too short.
Exactly!
I deal with people like that often,
1. my response is to be over agreeable (your right the practice green would be a better spot)
2. Find common ground and stroke their ego, ( I see your a good putter, have you played here often what's the hardest hole?)
3. Get them to do or omit to have done what they are complaining about, ( lets see who can chip closer to that hole) or (I know just by looking at you ,you have chipped here before ) say it with praise and laughter
4. Let them win, and or brag up their story ( man that's awesome) (I knew it)
5. Get acquainted ( what's your name? we should play a round some time)
Go back to doing what you were doing and guaranteed this person will now defend you instead.
Treat them positively like they are ten and they will feel like a ten.
I've played Mexico ,Us and Canada , most courses don't want you to chip on the practice putting greens but many people do, so he wasn't wrong however life is better played in the grey area than by the book. this is more about how to deal with small minded people.
He was wrong. In the follow up video I went to management. They informed me that very green is the green they prefer golfers to chip on. That's why there is not a sign.
I had a similar situation--i'm a hacker and mainly golf for the social aspect. 99% of golfers are awesome (like you). I'm very easy going, however, i think i was having a bad day and i went after the guy--like in your situation the starter was astute enough to diffuse the situation. i'm never gonna be a good golfer--thats fine--meeting and enjoying fellow hackers is what its about for me.
Thank you! Keep enjoying the game!
Some people suck
Yes, they do!
Should be treated as a non-issue....give a quizitive look ans ask if hes feeling ok? It was good to carry on with the starter cuz hes now in the minority. Just lookin for fued and push his issues on you. Dont bite. There, my best Dr Phil. You have alot of friends here. Afraid he doesn't have many
Thanks Bradley. The person just misinterpreted what was said in the video. It's all good. Let me know if you come up with a Subscriber Sunday idea or ball you want me to review. Thanks again!
What you encountered was a jerk being a jerk. I have had similar situations over the course of my golf life as well. I am not as nice as you...but I am also 6'2" and weight 220 lbs. so that tends to stop this kind of non-sense real quick. 🤣
Thank you Mark!
Just found your channel a couple of days ago while looking for golf ball reviews. Really enjoy your content and the personable way you address the camera.
I really appreciate that! Thank you so much!
im here for the violence- cuz every time someone says'' I was confronted'' my eyes light up.
I love it whensome one attempts to confront me... they are quickly adjusted appropriately .
Thank you for watching!
Every club has one just like him! What a shame, doesn't take much to figure out why he's a single.
Thank you so much!
I have a simple reply for everybody who does things like that regardless of the situation “ thanks for your advice, but I think I’ll pass.” And then I just ignore them.
That's a good one!
Unfortunately everything that makes golf a great game is lost on a few entitled individuals. There seems to be at least one at every course. You've just met the "Jugde Smales" at your course. Keep smilin' and enjoy your day, because that type never finds joy in anything. Just my 2 cents 😄
Absolutely! That is a miserable way to live life!
The old duffer was close to being right, in that MSH was chipping on a putting green, and likely is newer to golf than a 70 year old. But telling a fellow golfer to get off his lawn makes him wrong.
Keep up the great videos MSH!
I'm pretty sure it's a putting and chipping green but I'm going to talk to management. Thank you
I'm so sorry you endured such a rude, negative person. You handled the situation perfectly. I wish all golfers had your emotional intelligence. May you have many enjoyable hours of chipping and great golf.
Thank you so much!
Very sorry that happened to you
You stayed positive. Keep practicing! I need to join you
Thank you, I will!
Here's something to say about the golf community as a whole.........I didn't hear you or anyone in the comments turn this into a racial thing. If this had been almost any other situation involving a confrontational jerk (at a restaurant, a sporting event, etc.), the first thing the content creator or the folks in the comments would have reached for would have been a race card. Thank you for keeping it classy, and thank you to the golf community for keeping it civil and classy (except for the jackass old man who wanted to argue with you).
I try to simply state the facts. In my opinion a jerk is a jerk. It doesn't help anyone to jump to conclusions. Thank you so much for the support!
I know a couple places I frequent that have" no chipping" signs on practice putting greens that I personally don't chip on because the practice chipping green is almost right next to it at both places. But I still see guys chipping onto the putting green and the starters just ignore it as long as no one is putting. So if there's a sign I don't, if there's no sign I assume it's OK or else they'd put a sign there. Sounds like this was one of those guys that is just angry at life and tries to make everyone else miserable too. You handled it well. And man, if you can't have good vibes on a good course then there's something wrong with you. Whatever problems I'm dealing with get thrown in my trunk with my street shoes for a few hours while I'm on the course. Life's too short. Like my putts. 👍
Thank you so much!!
Yeah, sorry that that happen to you... Every once and a while you come across a "know it all" on the golf course. It's a shame that you had to have that exchange.... It's seems the only chip out there was on that guys shoulder! The course should put him in line. I just stubbled across your video and subscribed!
Thank you so much!
I played around 100 rounds over the past year and I developed a lot of pet peeves along the way. However, chipping onto a putting green would not bother me enough to be on my top ten list of annoyances, so it certainly wouldn't merit lecturing someone over. Much higher on my list of grievances would be things like slow play, golfers cutting in front of me, local residents hanging out on the fairways, unraked bunkers, etc.
It was a practice chipping and putting green. I confirmed with management in the next video. Thank you for watching!
The guy just saw your skin color and assumed that you didn’t know what you were doing…I was a starter/marshal at my course for several months and I ran into some guys like the one that you’re describing…I just smiled…I didn’t respond to them and that really pissed them off…
Thank you!
I was a teacher/coach at a small course in the Bay Area of Ca and I was at one hole practicing putting. Just the one hole, not the entire green. I was doing ladder drills and spoke drills just working on my getting the ball in the hole stroke. This guy comes up to me and says "Hey, you can't monopolize a hole on this putting green." The putting green was empty, there was no one on it but he and I. He had like 6 other holes to put to. I was in a corner of the green trying to stay out of the way. I ignored him and continued putting. He said he was going to get the manager. I told him I was the manager. lol. He didn't have much to say after that. Some people just like to be dicks. Golf is full of them, unfortunately. You did the right thing. 👏
That guy sounds like a treat! Thank you so much!
I've never played much outside of about a 75 miles radius from where i live. But, I don't think I've ever been to a course that had a separate practice green for chipping.
He just wanted to argue with me. Thank you for watching!
It's a golf course's responsibility to manage and regulate the traffic in the practice areas. If a green is solely intended to be a putting or chipping green, there needs to be signage. Leaving things open for interpretation and "unspoken rules" isn't a good practice for a public facility.
My point is that if the golf course really intended for it to be a putting green and nothing else, they would have put up a sign. You did nothing wrong and that guy was just being a "Darren". His lack of self confidence needed an extra boost that day and unfortunately you were his validation victim. I'm sure he spent all 18 holes blaming his bad shots on the grounds crew and mother nature.
You hit the nail on the head!! They have another green by the clubhouse that has no chipping signs. I truly believe that green is for either purpose. I appreciate your support!
There's always a couple of idiots at every course that think once they pay they own the place. Kudo's to you, you stayed calmer than I probably would have.
Thank you!
Some people have an over inflated sense of their own importance. Thus they push their imaginary “weight “ around in an effort to intimidate others. The Ted Knight character from Caddie Shack comes to mind. You lucked out that the starter came over giving you somewhere else to focus your attention. Keep chasing the little white ball.
That makes complete sense!
Life is full of jerks, Golf is not immune im afraid, in fact I’m a massive jerk myself, that’s why I love golf I can play on my own because I have no friends obviously, but that being said I do keep myself to myself and try not to interact with anyone
Update today!
In our society a small % of people are just plain a** holes, and unfortunately some of those play golf. Sorry you had to deal with him, but one every 38 years isn’t so bad. Love your lessons.
Thank you so much!
The guys full of chip (sorry couldn't help myself) I'm going to have to keep an eye on you! And don't let us hear any more chip from you! Going to watch your channel!
Thank you!
A male “Karen “ , lol . My group plays dozens of courses each year. Some have “no chipping “ signs on the practice greens so we don’t chip there . If there is no sign , we chip . I wish I could keep my cool like you in those situations.
Update today!
Don't you know that no minorities golfed before Tiger Woods? Tongue in Cheek and Sarcasm intended.
😂😂
I think every course has a guy like this. Sorry about your Ryder cup result. But I am one happy English man.
😂. Thank you!
Sounds like a argumentative jerk alright! Most courses have one, it’s just human nature. My course has a chipping/ putting green and a separate putting green. Both are clearly sign posted. The first has slight scuffing around the outside and the other is pristine.
I spoke with management and will be doing a follow up video tomorrow. Thank you!
Sorry that happened to you. Golf is game of fellowship but clearly that guys has no fellowship. No wonder he is playing round of golf by himself.
You are so correct. Thank you!
Your mistake was thinking that you had to defend yourself against his tirade. You should have just ignored him and chipped your balls towards your towel, the new intended target. You already accommodated him by no longer chipping onto the practice green. Certain people in life desire to be kings and they want you to bow to them one way or another. Godspeed!
Thank you!
Easy solution - put up a sign that’s says chipping and putting. There’s always a Jagoff that needs confrontation and is a miserable human being . Ignore these people.
Most course just put up no chipping signs on the greens that you can't chip on. However, your solution is a good one. Thank you!
Count yourself lucky. Most people never get the experience of actually running into one of these. You my friend, just met a "Karen" in real life. 😂
Thank you!
The thing about golf is, you run across a broad cross section of people on the course. I’m a retired LEO so I’m accustomed to all types of weirdos.😂
I can't imagine what you've seen. Thank you!!
You are awesome in figuring out how not to deal with this Jerk thinking he owns the place.
If you have been doing your chipping for years at this course and nobody else had issues about it, I wouldn't worry about it. I hope you don't run into this guy again.
I know on my course we have a chipping green with a couple traps around it, and then up by the starting hole there is a putting only green, but both are clearly marked as such.
Good luck in your chipping. Thanks for the video and take care.
Thank you so much! I made a follow up video after talking to management. I hope you get a chance to watch. Thank you again!
Every course has those old, crusty people that suck at being social in a positive manner. I swear some people only communicate through anger or bitterness. Sorry you found one.
Thank you for your continued support Bruce!
Well - I've watched both your last two rounds. Keep them coming.
Thank you!
WE know why he thought you were new to the game. I love playing with THOSE people. I do my best to beat them as bad as possible without every saying an unpleasant word. It's possible he may have been upset because your chips were much closer to the hole than his putts 😀
Thank you so much! Yes, I was!
Course by my house has two greens. One for putting only, and one for chips or putts. Signage is clear. Both have their advantages.
Thank you!
You just encountered a butthole is all.
Public courses suffer from daily encounters with them.
Play hard and make lots of birdies my man!
Thank you!
I think we all know what this was. It’s becoming more and more prevalent in America these days. Sad.
Thank you so much for the support!
In my experience, yes, there are lots of nice golfers, sure, but there are also plenty of "that" guy, too. You know where you'll never meet a guy like that? Disc golf, haha. I have yet to run into "that guy" playing disc golf.
Thank you! Maybe, I should give it a try!
He was just looking for trouble. Every once is a while we do run into clowns . Very unfortunate. Often the less contact with them the better. Sounds like you handled it well.
Thank you Joseph!
Next time tell the guy, “Look I’m here to play golf not argue. You want to argue go home and argue with your wife. She has more experience dealing with an idiot. “
😂😂
would appear a sad and lonely old man with no people skills; if you were wrong you would have been told to stop by the course employees. I am older 73 and crippled no longer can play so I live vicariously through others and am not bitter. I used to play Woodruff years ago so I was surprised to find your channel and derive happiness from the content . The only thing to learn is to ignore these people as they have nothing good to give next time you go to officials and ask them to instruct the curmudgeon to mind their own business. You were doing nothing wrong bothering no one. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thank you so much for the support!
The same thing happened to me but I am new to golf. Some grumpy man gave me a hard time while chipping. Being new to golf I just walked away. I later asked one of the golf pros if it was OK to chip onto the green that I was chipping to (there were no signs stating no chipping). The pros said it was fine and they chip there all the time. I guess some people are just miserable humans. I wonder if there was a racial component to your jerks condescending comments. Thanks for you great content.
Thank you! Some people just hate the world.
Golf is a friendly game of skill, etiquette and class. Obviously you have that. Obviously the other guy is an entitled, egotistical hack who lacks at least 2 of the 3. He is the one who is "new to golf" because no matter how old he is or how long he has played he has a lot to learn about sportsmanship and the game.
Thank you so much!
