For Members Only #406- Shane Ryan writes columns and features on golf and other sports for Grantland.com. This summer he wrote an entertaining piece called "10 Sensible Rules for Golfing with Others" but reading it through felt like he was complaining about his pet peeves that can be either annoying or embarrassing during a round. The post states \u201cIn a sport so polluted by etiquette and decorum, the possibilities seemed endless\u201d... then observes \u201cthe absurd amount of practice you need to put in just to be below average.\u201d You get where he\u2019s going, right? In this episode, we discuss our personal relationships (sic: frustrations) with golf. Some of his points are obvious and I agree, but there are other where I put him to task. Points include \u201cKeep Your Swearing to a Reasonable Level\u201d, \u201cNever Throw or Slam Your Club in Anger\u201d, and "When Your Playing Partner is Struggling, Just Shut Up!". A link to his article is live in the blog at GolfSmarter.com.

Next for Members Only Shane returns to finish his list and spar with host Fred Greene about the pros and cons of each point.
