There are no groups of people like this but there are individuals. I’ve played with people that have no clue about what to do on a golf course. Some have me that the most important thing about golf is where they’re going to have lunch afterwards. Some have moved here and rented clubs so they can “try” golf. I’ve seen some drive carts onto greens and into bunkers. They no clue regarding golf etiquette. They’ll walk behind you when you hitting, talk while your putting, drag their feet on the greens and don’t take care of the course. And yes, some will insist on playing everything into the hole even if it’s for a 15.
I’ve always felt that The Villages should have some mandatory test and training for those that have never played.
The Good Golf School is joke. People that have never played need to be taken onto a golf course and have some basics explained to them.
I’ve only listed a few if the crazy things that I’ve witnessed here. There is much too much to list here. And I must say that I’ve seldom seen this kind of behavior on other golf courses.
