we're stuck with cell phones
Tuesday November 16, 2004 | 17:47:36 150 words, 1309 views
Allow me to ring in on this cell phone-on-the-golf-course discussion. A year or two ago I would have said people who let their cell phones ring on the course should be beaten with a hybrid club. Now, I simply don’t care. Cell phones have become a part of the cultural landscape. They aren’t status symbols any more – how can something be a status symbol when EVERYBODY has one? You can’t fight it. I barely notice now when someone else’s cell phone rings. I barely notice it when MINE rings – whereas a year or so ago I would get all sheepish if mine rang in a public place. I have selfish reasons for this, too. I review golf courses for a living, so when I’m on the course, I’m actually in the office. I have to have a cell phone with me, to stay in touch with work. Tough gig, huh? Bookmark/Search this post with:

Do me a favor? Please post the next time you plan an evening at the movies. Let me know when and where, so I can sit behind you. We'll see if you "barely notice when someone else's phone rings." I have selfish reasons for bringing the phone, too. I write screenplays for a living. So when I'm at the movies, I'm actually in the office. Tough gig, huh?

Good reply by Tee’d off. I remember even Vijay Singh said: “The hospitality was good and so was the crowd, but next time round, I hope they forget to carry their mobiles with them.” He was talking about the overzealous crowd of Delhi. I was there to cove the event.
