[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a woman newly into golf, and I’m pretty terrible. As I should be, right? Who is good when they first start almost anything? One of the reasons you take up something new is to master something, to challenge yourself, to stretch and grow. So, I’m new and I’m terrible.

I always golf with at least one other person I know. So that way there is someone to laugh/commiserate with if someone is being a jerk. I also have had numerous people - good golfers, golf instructors, etc repeatedly tell me: you belong here. You are playing respectfully and you bought a tee time. So act like you belong here.

Finally, do whatever you’d do if someone was being a jerk, or what you’d do in a workplace if someone was taking up your space. In a bored voice “Wow, Jim. That was bold. Having a bad day?” Then carry on. Unbothered, unhurried. I know it is hard, but don’t shrink yourself to fit a jerk’s desire for you to take up less space. [/quote]

I’m pretty good at dealing with it… I’m Irish and have 7 brothers so I can stand up for myself.

Since I get paired with other, usually men, I noticed how surprised and taken aback they are. I’m just like oh yea it happens all the time.
