I find it hard to believe that she finished her hole, then just stood there while your group teed off.
I suggest there may have been an alternate scenario.
A group of women golfers, followed by a group of men golfers.
The men think game play is going too slow, and tee off while the women are still on the green.
I have been “hit into” a few times in my golfing career.
I don’t leave their ball lying there. I pick it up and take it with me.
Just once the man approached me. I returned it, and asked that he not hit into me again.
The rest of the time…..
When the ambassador came by I gave the ball to him. I asked him to return it to the gentleman behind me. With a conversation on golf etiquette.
What I’ve never seen happen is a golfer stand by the green, waiting for the next group to tee off. Then running out on the green and stealing his golf ball. Never seen that one.
