That is part of the problem, people are too easily offended, things like this, who shakes hands first and when not to wear a hat do not make a whole lot of sense to me, just trivial details. I think it is good sportsmanship to shake hands and pat an opponent on the back after a round, or competition. It would be a problem if they did not shake hands. I believe in being polite and respectful. I call my boss and people who are my senior Mam and Sir. I love my parents, love God, love and take care of my wife and child. So what if I wear a ball cap inside, it does not make me disrespectful. Times are changing, young people get tired of "rules" even good, well behaved young people dont always like to follow tradition.

On the basis of this logic, it follows that when you get tired of "rules" that you will exercise your free will and not count all strokes, concede your own putts and otherwise play the game as it suits you but not according to "rules". Polite society has formed certain correct behaviors that are universally acknowledged by educated refined people and provide a basis for social intercourse. Other people do as they wish.
Nuff said of course. It just hit me when this subject opened up. We agree to disagree on proper social behavior but I bet we play golf from the same rule book. Life would be simpler and a lot less tense if we alll played by the same rules, eh?
end of discourse. carry on!
