Anxious

Well, I will be upfront. I have suffered anxiety for a long time. I am a golf captain at our small golf club in our town. Anyhow, we had our Open Day on Wednesday where lots of ladies come to enjoy themselves. Yesterday, I played golf in a neighbouring town and a lady from that club came out to tell me that one of our lady members made a new golfer from another town "feel very inadequate and a little intimidated". Now, the lady in question also intimidated and made me feel very inadequate last year when I was captain. I did approach her about my incident, but I never once received an apology. I am feeling very anxious today about this whole episode that I had to up my anxiety meds this morning. I rang the President of our golf club and he said that it was up to me to sort it out. I don't think that should be my job. Our golf season is coming to a close, but this lady will continue to discourage ladies from playing golf. Besides me moving clubs to play golf, I really do not want to confront this lady. Any suggestions?

Someone need to confront the bully, otherwise she will continue to bully other people.

Tell her that some women have come forward to you and tell her how she has made them feel and that it’s not ok.

You don’t have to continue the conversation further then that, I can totally understand how this would be making you feel anxious I would absolutely feel the same way.
