I am VERY new to golf and still learning. I NEVER tee off first unless the people I am playing with tell me I should. We always make sure the green is clear before teeing off.
There was one occasion where I hit the ball "AT" the green, but it somehow went off to the right. After everyone had taken their shot, I walked over to where I thought my ball had gone. There was a group of 4 "ladies" over there calling me everything they could think of because they said a ball had come by them on their fairway. I asked them where the ball went and told them that I didn't think I could have hit it that far anyway. They said that they didn't know where the ball went. I looked around and finally found my ball way back from them on our fairway. They never offered an appology even though I had told them I was sorry, and it wasn't even me.
