I was getting really mad at a person like this once and my friend calmly told me, "He will be like that his entire life, that is punishment enough don't you think?" It completely changed the way I view these type of people. I think if this happens to me, I will probably tell the guy he can calm down or we will drop him off at the turn.
What a great way to think about it! I think I'm going to try to think about it when I see jerks anywhere, not just on the golf course. Thanks for the great post, Seth.
