COMMANDMENT#1: Thou shall not carry a golf umbrella in the city
You are not sauntering around on the wide open green spaces of the links. You're on a crowded city street carrying a 60-inch in diameter dome of death, replete with sharp metal spikes at just about eye level.
You simply do not need to keep an area the size of Guinea-Bissau dry. If you're going to carry an umbrella, make it a small one. Not some three-man tent designed for the arctic tundra. Ideally make it see-through. Then you'll at least be able to see me when you bayonet me in the iris crossing Aston Quay.

I make a small spectacle of meself these days as i raise my arm up in a shielding motion each time i see one on a trajectory. usually hitting their friggin' brolly.
It doesnt help matters that i rate golfers as highly as taxi drivers

finally, someone speaking sense. Unless you have a golf club in the other hand you don't need the golf umbrella, now get that f'ing thing out of my way!
