Players throwing clubs. Spectators turning on eventual US Open champion Wyndham Clark. Tempers boiling over on the biggest stage. For those who believe etiquette is golf’s foundation, recent events have raised an uncomfortable question: has the game lost its way?
And is what we see on tour simply reflecting what’s happening every weekend at golf clubs across the country?
In this week’s episode, Tom Irwin climbs onto the soapbox to deliver a passionate and thought-provoking critique of golf’s changing standards.
Why has etiquette slipped? Are golfers simply copying what they see at the top of the game? And what can clubs, players, and the sport itself do to turn things around?
It’s a lively debate about respect and whether golf’s unwritten rules are under threat.
