And the Bonehead Of The Week Award goes to…me for this regrettable exchange in the Augusta National pro shop.
True story: I was buying a hat for a friend when one of the two girls behind the counter noticed my credential.
“Sam,” she repeated my name. “My name’s Samantha.”
“Really?” I said. “My parents said that if I ended up being a girl, they weren’t going to name me Samantha. They wanted to call me Stephanie, which is a horrible name.”
Then the girl motioned to her friend right next to her, who had heard the whole conversation.
“Her name’s Stephanie,” she said.
I have decided not to speak for the rest of the week.

You insulted both of them with one inadvertant comment. Awesome.
