If I. Felt like a confrontation, I would say something regarding hitting two balls off the tee, if not, I would find me a shade tree and enjoy the scenery!

I was with three other people in carts...as I said I was walking so having "status" is not the issue...as for "status" that applies when you are playing the course and as a single you have no status to play through a foursome on the course...it has absolutely nothing to do with standing well away from a group hitting from the forward tee...no shade tree as I would have gladly taken refuge...but I was not looking for a confrontation and did nothing wrong by the rules of golf or etiquette of golf...I've played from Japan to Scotland and most in between...you are always allowed to approach the next tee when others are present as long as you don't interfere with their tee shots, keep still and quiet...I followed all these etiquette rules...he was not holding up play in my opinion, but likely thought I thought he was...foolish man was completely clueless unfortunately that happens often when you have the situation we have here...which is great by the way...
