It was a sunny Friday morning on the first hole of a busy course and I
was beginning my pre-shot routine, visualising my upcoming shot, when a piercing voice came over the clubhouse loudspeaker.
"Would the gentleman on the women's tee back up to the men's tee
please!" I could feel every eye on the course looking at me. I was still
deep in my routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption.
Again the announcement, "Would that MAN on the WOMEN'S tee kindly back up to the MEN'S tee."
I simply ignored the announcement and kept concentrating, when once
more, the man yelled: "Would the MAN on the WOMEN'S tee back up to the MEN'S tee, PLEASE!
"Finally, I stopped, turned and looked through the clubhouse window
directly at the person with the mike. I cupped my hands and shouted
back, "Would the pr*ck in the clubhouse kindly shut the f*ck up and let
me play my second shot?"
