Before the round was over the dog got out and ran around and even was on the greens a couple of times. We mentioned to the ambassador but he did not seem concerned or fazed by it. Not sure if we were more upset about the dog or the fact that he was that much better golfer than us.
That is not a service dog. It's a pet. Service dogs are trained to be quiet, keep 4 on the floor, either lay down or sit still unless needed to do anything else, and stay at the heel of whoever it is trained to assist. Service dogs are not left in the golf cart while the golfer is hitting a golf ball.
