A couple of weeks ago while watching some people struggle with their golf carts between the bunker and the green I wondered. "Does golf Etiquette becomes irrelevant after the age of 50 ? "

If not .. then why did I see elderly people put their golfbags on the green, or use their trolly between the green and a couple of bunkers ? Just because they are local members of a club and they can ?

The most surprising thing however was one elderly man who after shanking his ball into the water on a 134 meter par 3 decided he should leave something else there too, turned away from the clubhouse and started to urinate in the water before continuing his way to the next teebox.

Needless to say I won't ever be searching for my ball if it happens to fall in there.
