Listen in the appThis episode focuses on the idea of respect in golf - how it shows up, and where it may be slipping. The discussion explores a perceived decline in respect at golf courses, whether toward the course itself, player behaviour during rounds, or interactions with staff.
The conversation highlights key areas where this issue is emerging and considers why it may be happening at a time when the game is experiencing growth. What does disrespect look like in a golf setting? Is it learned behaviour, a reflection of broader societal trends, or part of the game’s evolution?
The episode also examines why respect remains an essential part of golf and how the sport can foster a stronger culture around it. Overall, it’s a multi-faceted discussion aimed at prompting reflection on the future of golf - and what players and stakeholders want that future to look like.
This episode is presented by GolfPEI, with additional support from Metcalfe Golf and Falcon Ridge Golf Club.
