I agree with the original post. It is a reasonable expectation that when playing golf—everyone should follow the rules of golf. I get it that many new golfers play the executive courses and it does take some time and practice to learn etiquette in addition to skills. However intentionally violating those rules just because you like it better that way and expecting others to conform to your violations of the rules and etiquette is not reasonable. My husband and I signed up To play on an executive course and another couple signed up also. We thought it was great that we might meet another couple that like to golf. They never stopped talking. When you had a par putt, they would burst into one song, and if it was a birdie putt they would burst into a different one. While you are putting! Any other putt they wanted to all hit their balls at the same time. I could not wait to get off that course. Found out they have lived here many years. Not surprising they have to sign up with unsuspecting strangers in order to make a foursome.
