Golf Etiquette and the Big Break

So long, Christina Lecuyer. From what I saw, she got a bum deal. There might have been a lot of off camera drama, so I can only base my opinion on what I saw. (Also, my wife thinks I'm jaded on the subject because Christina is so hot.)

The incident that set it all off was when she was hoping that another competitor would choke. Christina said it quietly and I don't think it was intended for anyone's ears except her and her partner's. It was all downhill from there. Large groups confronting her over breakfast, scolding her like a child.

So Christina had a breach of golf etiquette, but I submit that the rest of the cast had a breach of life etiquette:

1. Keep your trap shut and don't gossip. How did everyone find out about that comment? Did cute, innocent, little Susan tell everyone on the side and stir the pot?

2. A quiet side discussion is a better way to go than publicly confronting someone. Lori Atsedes, who is much more mature could have taken her roommate aside and let her know what the deal was. Give Christina an honorable way to see what she did and apologize. Instead of playing the mentor, she decided to be the pack leader and lead the attack. Then she feels cornered and has to defend herself against the mob. Nice.

3. Two wrongs don't make a right. Most of us heard this from our mothers, but I guess Sophie Sandolo missed that lesson. She decided the best way to deal with it was to act even worse. There is a difference of sin of omission and a sin of commission.

So, instead of resolving the situation in a positive manner, it went down just like it does in a 3rd grade schoolyard. Nice.
