Crazy starter this morning:
Our tee time was 8am.
The 7:44 two-some showed up about five minutes before their tee time.
They asked if they could go out later so they could warm up a bit.
We (two-some) said we can out go at 7:44 if they want to go at 8am.
They said that would be great.
The starter said no.
Really?!?!?!

How about the opposite today, not at Shallow Creek. We were a foursome, but the other 2 that we didn't know came a bit early and wanted to go out because they "were in a hurry" When we teed off on #1 (350 par 4) they were just chipping onto the green. They were on the slow side, we waited on them at least 80% of our shots but could never catch up. But watching them, we were glad we didn't---even though they were playing from the girlie tees, they would wait for the group ahead to get over 300 yards out before they hit---and on par 4's of under 320 they waited for the green to clear. It then took them 4 or 5 shots to get there. THAT would have driven us nuts, so it was worth waiting on them not to have played with them. However, in general, I don't think it is right for the starter to split a foursome to send 2 people out 5 minutes earlier.
