The thing about golf is that it can be many things to different people.
To some of us, the fun is in being able to figure out how to play well. It's spending time working at becoming better. WE play golf to play golf.
To others it's more of a social activity and that's fine as long as they move along and don't hold up others that want to play.
I played behind some guys the other day who were intolerably slow. I mentioned it to one of my fellow golfers and he said, that they're probably just like us, retired with no place to go. I explained that I liked to go out to play golf, and not stand around and watch others socialize while I'm waiting to play.
I played with a woman that was holding up the whole golf course one day and she complained that we were going to fast for her. One of her friends told her very nicely that we were holding up the people behind us. Her reply? "I don't care about them."
Some people just like getting out in the fresh air and getting some exercise. Some like to socialize. Some like to try to play the best they can and some like to compete. It would be nice if we could all just get along and recognize and respect each other's desires.
But please, NO NON GOLFERS ON THE GOLF COURSES!!!!
