"Would the gentleman on the women's tee back up to the men's tee please!" I could feel every eye on the course looking at me, but I was deep in my routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption. Again the announcement, "Would the MAN on the WOMEN'S tee kindly back up to the men's tee." I ignored the guy and kept concentrating, when once more, the man yelled "Would the man on the women's tee back up to the men's tee, PLEASE!" I finally stopped, looked back at the clubhouse, cupped my hands and shouted.... "Would the man in the clubhouse kindly be quiet and let me play my second shot!"
