Opinions on if I did the wrong thing?

[speeder]

It's "douche".

[speeder]

When I started reading this thread, I thought it was on its way to the OP confronting the big, rude jock on the golf course or in the clubhouse.

But no. He "tweeted" about it. Anonymously and to a million people other than the jock.

I dunno. In my world, if you don't have the nads to confront a stranger in public about their behavior ,(or to be fair--if it's simply not a good idea), you just let it shine.

If you wanted to see some back bone, you should have seen my old GF tell OJ where to go on the golf course a few years back.

You should have talked to him in person if his "no tipping" bothered you that much. Tweeting is for kids...

Guys.....if I read the account correctly.....Reed was gone by the time he heard the tip/no tip info...NLA to confront in person. Tweeting was the next available option, I guess.

I'm not a big fan of tweeting understand but those are the facts.

Thanks for the spell check Denis - I stand corrected.

Hey Cliff, I think this club's restricted so don't tell them you're Jewish ok? Ok!

Quote de mossguy

I am surprised that you would call people who disagree with you "haters"!

the title of this thread ASKED for opinions!! this is very funny..



i dont belong to a country club..i understand the climate at one. sounds like a good time!!

What is tweeting? Can anybody do it?

[speeder]

Yes. And it's proven everyday.

I think it was ok,, one of my pet peeves' is cheap tippers.. the fact that the guy is loaded and was comped AND the cart girls make next to nothing makes it ok.. Maybe next time he'll think 2x before he stiffs someone else. .
Not sure I would have tweeted,, but I don't know how to tweet... You're ok in my book..
Hey Plumb we've got a couple of openings for my nieces memorial golf tourney in Ellicott City on Monday (benefits suicide prevention),, want to play ??

[sammyg2]

You did wrong. First, it's none of your bidness. It's his money, not yours, what he does with it does not involve you.
Secondly, a tweet? Serial? Are you a teenage girl?

Serious question: would you have said to his face what you said in the tweet? If not you shouldn't have sent it.

I think the professional athlete in question is used to being feted and compted everywhere he goes. Tt's probably been that way since he was in high school, and this might be the 1st time somebody called him on it. Good on you.

So the little feller had his feeling hurt and now threatens to move his "charity" golf tourney that he and his buds play for free? So be it. I'd love to know just how much and to whom that "charity" money goes.

One of the big things wrong in the world is how much money is paid to entertainers and that includes pro atheletes. I have no idea who this particular guy is, but he sounds like he is related to Eldrick Woods, another big tipper.

Where are you going to hold your charity event this year?

BTW if you were really curious you could have done some research:

Ed Reed's Eye of the Hurricane Foundation

Our Mission

The Ed Reed Foundation is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit public charity focused on helping, improving and expanding the lives of our nation's youth. Specifically, focusing on children of lesser means who just need an opportunity to see how truly special and successful they are capable of being.

If I were a pro athlete I'd have a hard time being nice and courteous to all the douche-leaches trying to pretend to be somebody by latching onto my fame.

Can I have a free autograph to put up on e-bay?

Can I have a picture with you so I can pretend I know someone successful?

My oldest brother was a pro athlete and although his career was cut short due to injury, he told me all about the leaches and how they were just thinking about themselves, basically like walking up to a stranger and saying gimmee gimmee and as an athlete you had to put up with it.

The local Putt-Putt.

You're not invited.

But maybe you can buy the picture from Betsy so she'll get something worthwhile out of the deal, and you can put it up on your wall of homage for "pro athletes".

Sadly, many of these NFL charities aren't on the up and up. Some of them are merely set-up to funnel money to family members...
