She caught us later and complained that I had snagged two of her balls. She told me I was stupid to not realize what was going on and picking up her balls. I pointed out that if three of her balls were on the part of the course that I was playing on, it is not I who was stupid. She was not pleased but the ambassador that was standing near us came over and read her the roit act.
Hmm, there is only one par 4 on Sandhill....so, they hit into you at least twice on Par 3s? It is almost unfathomable that a group tees off on a par 3 before the group ahead is off the green and on their way. It is time for those that know the rules to stand their ground and for the ambassadors to step up and admonish those who commit this etiquette/safety violation before further injuries occur.

What the heck is going on out there? Inexperienced golfers, impatient people, or ??
