The “r: word has now been so overused that it is no longer shocking, which eventually happens to any obscenity. Get over it–it is just a one-syllable word.

F*@^ all the F%#@%^# F*#@*%#

I’m absolutely sure I heard one of the announcers clearly state the infamous “elf word” too in another part of the broadcast.

I did a double take, it was so clear.

Just a release of enormous pressure built up in these contenders and quite understandable. Big deal. Just goes to prove how human they are. On Easter sunday, all is forgiven!

[...] The other topic out there is Stuart Appleby’s use of a certain 4-letter word that rhymes with truck. Appleby yanked a shot on the eighth hole and his naughty utterance was broadcast over the air. You can hear it here (I guess I don’t have to tell you there’s some profanity found by clicking that link). [...]

The “F” doesn’t have the same meaning in Australia and England as it does in the states. Pretty much means go hang yourself. Using “bloody” is more serious to our ally’s than the F word.

Lighten up folks.

appleby probably now regrets the word. I try to imagine the pressure of the Masters, its no excuse, but I understand the frustration.

How can you blame him for his reaction to that “near miss.” I would guess that a very high per cent of golfers would make a not-for- publication comment under similar circumstances. Perhaps if the participating golfers weren’t wired for sound this type of problem would not have occurred on Easter Sunday afternoon or any other day.
