oh, with you there on the cell phones.. or, if you *must* take a call, don't shout it across the greens as you delay the party behind you or spend an hour discussing someone's physical attributes... grr..

Here we are ... just the thing to take care of those cell-phone addicts on the golf course or anywhere else for that matter

Unfortunately I guess you can only buy them in the UK and you'll probably have Homeland Security on you if you ever try to get one through a security checkpoint, but wouldn't it be nice??? As long as used "responsibly" of course.

I saw "do-it-yourself" schematics for something similar on the net at one point. I believe it was very inexpensive (relatively) to build from radio shack parts... time to google.

Lol... I have to get me one of those.

...But doesn't it all boil down to "etiquette" - turn the thing off before you get on the course!!!... Nobody's THAT important !!

you'd like to think not... unless you're a heart transplant specialist or something, but nothing burns me more than some idiot yakking to his GF about what they're going to do that night, yatta yatta!

Sure, it's basic golf etiquette not to use a cell phone on the course ... you should turn it off or to vibrate and only take a call that's an emergency like Thumper says, but people are idiots. It's just like the movies - people are so used to watching DVDs at home and talking to each other, replaying it or fast-forwarding, stopping for a bathroom break - it's so bad that it's hard to enjoy a movie in the theater anymore. Someone is always talking or making noise.

If anyone wants to secretly confess to a breach of etiquette, there is actually a website called the Golf Etiquette Confessional ... not a lot of postings yet, but it's sometimes good to see that others are doing things they shouldn't and feel bad about it later

Here's the link:
