Yesterday I had an exception. I forgot about a 9:12 tee time and was very, very late. I passed someone who was going about 15mph on the trail and yelled as I passed "Sorry, I'm in a hurry". I got a dirty look and deserved it but as they say "poop happens". So no matter how nice of a guy I think I am while driving my cart I screwed up yesterday. The funny thing was that when I arrived at the clubhouse I was actually a day early cause my tee time was for today! I'll make up for it today by leaving early and letting someone pass me to balance out the world again.
Why would you get a dirty look? I would think that, just like in a car, it's perfectly fine to pass someone. No?
