Respect, Etiquette & Protecting the Game
Golf has always been about more than just scores. At its best, it's a game built on respect, integrity, sportsmanship, and kindness. But recently, two incidents reminded us why those values matter now more than ever.
Joining us for this important conversation is Aaron DeCorte.
The first incident occurred at Kokopelli Golf Club, where an on-course altercation escalated to the point that police responded and the golfers involved were arrested.
Just days before that, one of our own Golf Party Live ladies was struck by a golf ball. Thankfully, she instinctively covered her head and escaped with only minor injuries after being evaluated in the ER. What was most upsetting, however, was that the golfer who hit the shot never came over to check on her or apologize.
That isn't the game we fell in love with.
Golf is booming, and we absolutely love seeing more women, juniors, families, and beginners discovering this incredible sport. But with that growth comes a responsibility to preserve what has always made golf so special.
In this episode, we discuss:
● Why we felt compelled to have this conversation.
● Golf course safety and what women should do if another group becomes hostile or confrontational.
● Why we're seeing more conflict on the golf course, including:
● Golf's explosive growth
● Longer rounds and increased frustration
