Dear mulligan: I have lived here for over 9 years and what you say rings true. I often play as a single and have been teamed up with players that have been very confrontational and rude to ambassadors turning the air blue with their foul language, etc. This has happened more than once in my presence and on both championship and executive courses.
The issue isn't which tee you play from as much as your cooperation in playing ready golf, applying the Callaway rule (in the pocket after two-three-four strokes on executive courses and moving on. Its not standing over the ball like in a trance and remembering that your group is probably thinking "while I'm still young". too long over the ball almost guarantees a bad shot.No the big issue boils down to lack of etiquette
