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.

Congrats AJ. Big difference in this situation and hitting when someone is 120 yards in front of you. New to golf or not, it's hard for me to imagine someone not having better sense than that.
