The starter told us for any issues like that to call the starter shack using the phone number listed on bottom of score card. The starter can then radio the ambassador who can then handle the situation.
Our group was not slow in fact we were waiting for grp in front.
We were not aware starter shack address and phone number is on the bottom of all score cards.

I know a guy who is a helluva golfer. This was happening to the group he was playing in. (not in TV)

Finally, he had enough and turned around and drove a long one right back at ‘em. They got the message. I certainly am not recommending doing this but I understand it.

By the way, I just have to ask this two-part question — even though I probably will have to take a hit from posters who will accuse me of being sexist. . .

Were you in a group of women?

Were the golfers behind you a group of men?

If your answer to both of those questions is yes, that was not just a flagrant breach of golf etiquette. That was a form of misogyny.
