As we approached the green, my ball was not short in front, it was on back collar. My heart sank. I dropped my wife off and raced to the next tee at 19.6 MPH and apologized. It was roundly accepted and in fact one of them was shocked how far his ball went. My best guess is it landed 60 - 70 yards short....
I am glad they were nice guys and have played golf enough to understand an accident.

That's what I'm talking about...the "career" shot. Yeah it went into them but rolling I would imagine (300yds in the air I don't think so). AJ did the right thing and explained that he never thought it would go so far... They accepted that.....no harm no foul
To be hit into on a par 3 is just dangerous with no regard for potential injury. It is common sense. Etiquettte is waiting until the carts cleared the area. Even if it backed up and you feel you MUST hurry things along do it when it is clear......
Come on April!
