Quin, you mentioned Tiger Woods in passing. Tiger does swear rather offensively at bad shots. Early in his career, in interviews, he would described himself as being “pi**ed off” about something. Somebody got to him — 21-year-old that he was — and told him that was swearing and he shouldn’t do it. He has replaced it with “ticked off” — in interviews. On course, he’s still quite blue-mouthed at times.
An older generation of players was rather sternly instructed by Dads not to swear on course. “Davis! Gol-lee!” I once heard Davis Love III berate himself.
Beside the point. The DVR has made any enforcement of a “family hour” just about useless. People look ahead and develop their own TV schedule. Kids prove to be especially adept at this technology.
