We know, we know — you’re VERY important. But unless you’re authorizing military force somewhere, we’d like to think you can afford to have your phone out of reach for more than two minutes at a time. It’s not that we’re opposed to phones on the golf course, especially if they’re enabling you to sneak away from the office. But common courtesy still applies.
If you need to return an email, do so in between holes where you’re not holding up play. If a phone call is essential, bow out to a place where you can’t be heard by other golfers. And if a phone call is NOT essential, save it for later. Golf should be a time to connect with your playing partners, with the outdoors, and with yourself.
The rest of the world can surely manage without you for a few more hours.
