Then they clean their club and replace it in their bag. We have told them to clean and replace when the cart stops again but they prefer not to do that. This is their routine which drives the rest of us nuts. We put these people in the last group and reprimand them for their slow play when they finish 20 to 30 minutes behind the group in front of them but that doesn't help. We tell them to not lose sight of the group in front of them but they ultimately do. They don't think they play slow but the proof is in the finish. If all groups would try to keep the group in front of them in sight, we would not have this problem. Also, starters should NOT push us off early only to have us wait on every hole. If we have a 9:20 tee time, we should tee off at 9:20.

These people sound arrogant and self-centered. Why don't you remove them from the group if they won't follow your suggestions? They're not only bothering your group, they are bothering the groups behind them.
