| How about just the opposite problem? I hate speed golfers. Those who race to see just how fast they can play a round.
I've one group at my local course, it this guy has to wait more than a minute to tee off, he will skip the hole. No problem, and if I see him in a group coming up behind, I'll hold up and wait to let them through.
I never ride, I walk, and I know I'm not as fast a player as those who ride. But I don't want people to wait on me, so I don't mind letting them pass as soon as it is convenient.
For the last couple of weekends, I've been taking my wife and a son with me for 18. He is new to golf, and she doesn't play, just goes for the exercise.
We were a hole behind another group, when a foursome came up behind. We held up and let them pass, not that they could get far due to the group in front of us.
A couple of holes later, I'm putting and hear a plop. Two old women playing speed golf had come up behind and one of them fired on us. Pissed me off, but I didn't say or do anything. On the next hole, #8. They fired on us two more times. Nearly hitting my boy and my bag.
We walk up to #9, and no sooner tee off when one of them comes racing up in her cart, telling us how slow players are supposed to let them pass though. Then her partner pulls up and the two of them start making comments about how my son should be on a driving range, not a golf course. ( He had a good drive, but it landed in the next fairway )
The wife grabbed my arm to quiet me, if it hadn't been for her and my son there, I'm afraid one of them would have spent the next week trying to **** a golf ball.
I don't think I've ever had someone piss me off so badly on a course. I couldn't even finish the hole. They spoiled our morning and we went home. |
