Limp handshakes are the bane of my existence

October 14, 2019 — by Kevin Sze

It’s a handshake. Shake my hand when I shake yours. Please.

Golf is a “gentlemen’s game,” which means that after we play 18 holes, we take our hats off, shake each other’s hands, and say some awkward pre-thought out statement like “nice playing with you” or “great match.”

I guess some people never got the memo on how to shake hands, because when I grip their hand and give it a shake, their hand remains as motionless and floppy as a dead fish. 

Please firmly shake my hand when I shake yours. It’s disrespectful that I have to do all the work. I should not be the only one doing the shaking.
