And then rotsa ruck unless that group knows the correct etiquette. But if they did, they probably would not be 1+ holes behind. I sit on my lanai and watch the most amazing performances by some golfers. Why would someone who can't hit it more than 120 yds off the tee struggle for 2 min with club selection for their next 220 yd shot? Then take 5 practice swings and change clubs again? In all likelihood it's going to take them 3 more shots to get on the green anyway, then they'll 3 putt for their snowman. At that skill level, why not just enjoy the time out in the sunny Florida weather, hit the ball in a timely fashion, and leave the scorecard at the starter's shack? Face the facts---you're never going to be wearing a green jacket or strolling up the 18th at St. Andrews to a thunderous ovation as you win the Open by 5 shots. When your average hole starts getting better than triple bogey, you can trot out the scorecard and start thinking about your "strategery". Sorry if anyone takes offense, but shooting 124 really isn't any better than 127.
