When I say they don't belong on the golf course I mean that until they understand the rules and etiquette and have at least a minimum degree of proficiency they shouldn't be allowed on a golf course.
When I see some of the violations of etiquette on these courses and people not taking care of the course I do a slow burn. When I see people out there that whiff three times before they make contact and then roll the ball thirty yards along the ground I wonder how they are getting any enjoyment out of being there. When I see a husband trying to teach his wife to play when he can barely play himself and they are holding up everyone behind them, I say they don't belong on a golf course.
If it were up to me it would be mandatory that everyone attends the Good Golf School before being allowed to play. Then I would have the ambassadors monitoring the players so that they follow the etiquette of the game and keep their place on the golf course.
Yes, anyone that pays evidently has a right to be on the course, but they don't have the right to ruin the course and ruin the day of the people behind them.

Nothing burns me more than seeing wedge marks or hacks on the greens or trash everwhere except in the trash cans provided.
