Apparently it is more important to keep their bookkeeping straight than to allow a single to play through. Anyone else have this happen to them?
She was probably looking at the "Letter of the law/Rule" instead of using common sense. They track group start times to follow them if there is slow play or someone/group complains about slow play. She should have used common sense in your case. But then remember, it's The Villages and they make their own rules, regardless of standard golf course etiquette/norms.
