My recollection of the origin of the term was in Keith G*lf Club decades ago when in an attempt to import a tad of decorum when female members were in the bar, “I’m awa for a p1sh” was substituted by “I’m awa to teem the stroop” in deference to the frail sensibilities of the fairer ***/gender/fitiver. I was only ever a “house member” as the club is less that 100 yds from the family dwelling, and the beer was cheap. I have no interest or aptitude for a game that could be improved somewhat by the introduction of tackling. The R&A, however, has thus far failed to answer my correspondence on this matter.
