Imagine it this way: if your company hosted a karaoke night and insisted that everyone get up to sing at least one song, don't you think some of your coworkers might be embarrassed or intimated by that? Golf is no different.

I guess you work with a bunch of over competitive dinks. I've never seen anyone seriously embarrassed golfing at the drunken company tourneys. Usually the only people who get embarrassed are the ones who get ####faced and roll the golf carts.
