New pet peeve from this morning.
Teed off #1 Owasco CC with group ahead on the green of a par 5. Got to 2nd tee, also a par 5, and group was about 150 yds out with no one ahead for 3 holes. Watched player park cart 25 yds away for no reason, walk slowly to ball, spend 2 min messing with optical range finder, only to walk back , slowly to cart for a different club. Since he was 370 yds uphill away from the green, not even around the dogleg yet, I'm unclear what the distance or club selection had to do with his shot. He then walked slowly back to ball, lined up his shot, took 7 practice swings, then backed off to line it up again. took 3 more practice swings then addressed the ball, waggled about 30 times, and crushed the ball 10-12 yds on the ground. Repeated this for his next 3 10-15 yd shots. When they got out about 270 15 min later, I threw the driver back in the bag so I could roll a 3 wood up 15-20 yds behind them. The same player jumped out of his cart, ran back to my ball and hit it into the woods. This is a private club with a small membership, but the foursome ahead was from a reciprocal club. Needless to say, our pro called their pro and they will NEVER be back
