Re: bad sportsmanship !

Ha you certainly made me laugh this morning,

I think we have all come across these type of guys some time or another.

Firstly I would have offered a handshake back exclaiming that you are claiming the game as they were late, then conceding to let them play, thus they would have felt lucky you gave them a chance.

As for chucking the match after six holes, this shows their overhaul ability and mental attitude towards golf, so they would have had the odds stacked against them to loose anyway.

Secondly in the clubhouse they should have been feeling sheepish, especially if you told everyone you saw that morning about their conduct.

Enjoy your 'win' and move on to the next round.

Good luck

ian.
