A LEWES sports shop has caused offence by stocking golf tees in the shape of a naked but headless woman.
What some may consider to be harmless fun has caused great upset with some customers claiming the joke represents violence against women.
Outrage does seem to be the default mode of some protest groups these days and we certainly wouldn’t want to fall into the proscriptive times of Mary Whitehouse’s 1980s. But in this instance it does seem that campaigners have a point with a product that basically encourages golf players to smash the head off a naked woman.
