Golf etiquette and decorum takes a back seat sometimes?

I was of the impression that Golf was never about just winning.
It was about Playing like a Gentleman/Lady...and Winning
I was at a park yesterday opposite a golf course and a Male Golfer yells out, "F*ck It" very loud šŸ˜®

I had somebody scream just the first word you mentioned as I swung at my ball in a greenside bunker; I bladed it over the green and on to the roof of the neighboring condo beyond. It was funny since I didn't break anything, like a widow or sliding glass door.

I quit golf forever last new year's - not a moment too soon, and perhaps a few years overdue.
 

I won a company annual golf tournament! I said my handicap was +20. I shot 13 over par, thus my score, with my big handicap came to -6. I won a cool tote bag, and the embarrassment of beating all the real golfers I worked with.

Edit...I also got closest to the pin on a par 3. I hit short but hard it bounced over some rocks and luckily took a course to the pin. I won a meal at our local Chinese restaurant. :)

A man was playing golf one day, with a foursome behind him. He was slowing them down a bit, so they kept gesturing to him to let them through. He didn't respond, so they called over the Course Steward.

"Steward," one of the foursome said, "That guy won't let us through, even though we're indicating to him that we'd like to play through. Can you do something about that? He's being rude!"

"Well," said the Steward, "When I tell you about that guy, you might feel different. That guy is blind. He lost his sight during Desert Storm. He likes to come out every week and play nine holes. Yes, it causes a few problems but everyone tries to work around it. He's a really nice guy. He can't see you waving to him, but if you call out to him, he'll be glad to let you through. He just doesn't know you're behind him."

"Oh my God," said the first guy of the foursome, "I can't believe that. It's really inspirational. When he gets back to the clubhouse, I want to buy him a drink."

The second guy says, "Oh, I'm really ashamed of myself. When he gets back to the clubhouse, I want to buy him dinner."

Third guy says, "Jeepers, he's hitting better than I am! Hey, Steward, I want to put his greens fees for the next month on my account. Can you arrange that?"

The three guys look at the fourth guy and ask him, "Well, George, what are you going to do?"

"Screw him, he's blind," snarls George, "He could have played last night!"
