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.
Rather you were "slow" or not ("slow" is relative, The V's has many people who have never played golf in their lives, and others of us have played since we were youth, but this is a different situation), this is a retirement community with many novices. There is NO valid excuse, "slow" or not, for taking the opportunity to do serious injury to a fellow community member, who may, even live in the next block from you. How will these people feel should they hit someone in just the right spot of the temple to cause their death ? Worth it to "speed things up" ? Sure it's slow to be behind a novice, but this is a very different situation and environment with an all senior community. Way too much of this kind of thing happening anymore.... THINK about it !
