British comic Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder, Mr. Bean) gave a very serious speech against laws to limit speech saying in effect people are too easily offended. And it is only getting worse as someone files a complaint against another person who said something that some other party might at some point find offensive.
The solution, he said, was not less offensive language but more, so people become immured to it the way a child becomes immune to illness by levels of exposure.

Maybe they installed cussing jars on the course and people couldn’t afford the “green” fees?

I’ve said for years that “golf” is a four-letter word that usually results in other four-letter words!

My brother, a golf pro, died last August. So there might be something to that theory.

Golf spelled backwards is flog…
“flog – verb
1. beat (someone) with a whip or stick as punishment or torture."
As the golfer will flog himself after drop in sand trap…
