I was taking a group of building service engineers through the 18th. We were discussing the use of Appendix 5. One chap was very exercised about the BA3 category which is described as utilization-capability-handicapped. He claims the latter word was exorcised from common parlance years ago and would be offensive to many. I am not that politically correct but maybe he has a valid argument,.
So just what definition covers the number of strokes normally taken by a golfer above par for a course?
Don't presume offense where none exists. Call a spade a a spade. Refuse to speak the limited language of Oceania.

There’s a very strong possibility of causing offence with using words such as you just have.
Last Monday evening I went to a birthday party and saw people I had not seen for a long time, I was talking to another guy about what went on in the 1970’s and 80’s and passed comment that one of the girls in our circle of friends had met and married a particularly offensive guy.
This guy came on a weekend away with us and returned with a very noticeable black eye as a result of being laid out with a single punch on the Saturday evening after announcing that he was a straight talking guy who “believed in calling a spade a spade” he came to surrounded by a group of people all muttering that he deserved what he had got.
You think that is an inoffensive saying, but ever since the 1970’s I wince when I read or hear it.
It is not particularly what is said it is the intent that matters.
