I wouldn’t do so but it’s similar to a guy I know who knocks out anyone who talks to him when he’s using a urinal in a public restroom. He becomes livid that anyone would dare speak to him when he has his Johnson in his hand.

 

People make the world go round.

When you say look at do you mean touch or pull head covers off or pull them from your bag without asking?

[manku]

I would never touch a stranger's clubs, but would have no problem with my friends.

If anyone touched mine, I'd take it as a compliment!

You might you want to rephrase that. Unless you meant that that way.

People just need to relax and enjoy the golf... I have a Makers mark cover on my titleist driver … is this why it wont go straight??

Yeah, I would take a look, but putting my hands on the club only happens after asking. I would expect the same treatment.

I'm not about to start any kind of anything, although I will likely tell him to put it back. But I will remember that they are someone who touches clubs without asking, and if I have anything to do with any planning of anything, they will not be invited to be part of it.

[double_d]

_On the 2nd tee box, this guys starts going through my bag and pulls off my head covers. He see's I have a Cobra wood under a Titleist cover and says, "You're a Poser, trying to make people believe you have quality clubs in your bag". Me being me, I respond with, "What did you call me? This poser would be happy to beat your F-ng Word not allowed right here on the tee box"._

 

Based on this exchange ^^^, I wouldn't want to play in a foursome with either of you.

See. I think that’s parts of the issue. “ tough Guys”.

 

I don’t know of a person who would describe me as a “ tough guy “. Maybe aloof or antisocial if you don’t know me or we haven’t met. But I do have personal space expectations. And plenty of pet peeves. Ill mannered people are pretty high on that list.

 

Example. I came out to my vehicle a couple months ago after a sat morning round. There were tents set up at the back of the parking lot. Which usually means a corporate outing etc for the afternoon. Sure enough. It was. When I parked at 7 am nobody was there. Now I have a city of scramble players encamped around my vehicle ( and 15 other cars). As I walk closer I see that two guys are on my trucks back bumper with paper plates on the bed cover . They are eating off my truck. First thought isn’t safe for posting. I talked myself down as I walked and expected the guys to see or hear me unlock my truck and move accordingly. Well. They didn’t. I threw my putter in the back door and started around to the tailgate with my bag. Only then did they move. One leaving a beer on my back bumper and another an empty plate on my bedcover. I sat my bag down and grabbed the nearly full beer and plate and spotted a garbage can. I deposited both without a word. Put my bag up , changed shoes and got in to leave. Now I try to back out and the same group of idiots are standing too close for me to get all the way out. Only after I honk the horn do they move. I still haven’t said a word. I left. Mad enough to explode. I’m very thankful that neither opened his mouth. But I suspect my size prevented that as it usually does. People of that mindset should be chemically sterilized at age 15. For the life of me I cannot understand what would posses someone to sit themselves and a beer / plate on someone else’s vehicle as if it were a picnic table.

 

So tough guy. Not always. Not even usually. Lots of people still walking around this earth because of the self control of others. And they are oblivious to how many times their lives have been in danger.

 

I’m ok with anyone disagreeing. But. Think of what your hot button is. Where’s your line ? Doesn’t matter what it is. Everybody has one. So let’s dont act like one guy is wrong for drawing it at personal space. I agree he reacted just as bad. But I also get his frustration with the oblivious who walk among us.

[North Butte]

Short of someone attacking or seriously endangering me or a bystander, there's pretty much nothing that I feel would merit my initiating a violent response. Now I've been know to yell or curse at someone but I would neither attack or threaten to attack them unless in a purely defensive action while backed into a corner. Just nothing to be gained by escalating a situation from mere insult to actual injury.

Inconsiderate idiots are the worst. That's quite a display of self control.

The way my wife describes situations like that is, idiots like that aren't worth spoiling your day over.

[Swisstrader98]

So you held you temper by having a temper tantrum??

 

I’m embarrassed for both of you. Grown men acting like 3 year olds.

[Swisstrader98]

I love all this macho talk about some guy who touches your headcovers. Just cracks me up. First world problems.

 

p.s. a bunch of Hollywood types drive a Prius and Warren Buffet has lived in his very small house for a zillion years, so not sure I get the connection behind he’s a noob because he drives a certain car.

Sounds like a reasonable reaction.

I think Blade's experience tops mine, although words were exchanged in mine because I lack self-control. I posted this before but can't remember if it was here or another forum I frequent. Came out of a bar where my daughter and I just had lunch and I see guy leaning on my car and smoking a cig. My daughter is 5'2' and 100 pounds of don't ef with me. Probably her defense mechanism. We don't say anything but we walk to my car and my daughter goes around to the passenger side where the guy is leaning. That's when the fireworks started. The guy starts yelling at my daughter to not give him dirty looks. That she lacks manners. I tell the guy to get the h off my car. He replies that all we had to do was ask him and he would move. I had to remind him not to touch things that don't belong to him and he'd avoid these problems in the future.

 

Had a guy on the course ask to see my clubs today. I had to struggle to keep a straight face and not look like a wacko for laughing.

Being somewhat of an OCD individual who likes things consistent, I had a Titleist head cover on the Cobra wood. #1, because I lost the Cobra cover, and #2, because it matches my 4 Wood.

You're both jerks. He's a jerk for the several obvious reasons listed in your post, but you're a jerk as well for threatening to beat someone's a** because they called you a poseur. No excuse for that.

Love the stories on here

I was in a fight on a course when I was 17 or 18 and only because a kid charged me throwing windmill punches. 35 years ago and I still recall it

Anyways, the last time a guy really aggravated me was on the patio after a round. He's a loudmouth nobody likes, incessant talker, not funny but thinks he is, overly loud, etc etc. Anyways, he keeps calling me "Tiny" over and over again. I don't know this guy that well. Friend of friend sort of deal. Anyways, I just said quietly to him these exact words "Hey Don, one of these days you are going to call me Tiny and I will either be in a bad mood or will have had a few cocktails and it will not end well for you."

He's been a prince ever since
