Wasn't going to post this, but looking back now it's almost funny...

We were 3rd group after 5:00 off at Amelia (Mallory) last week, our foursome following a foursome - so anyway, being there's not much room to "stage" golf carts at starter shack up there, so starter was telling groups to move up near 1st tee...all swell so far.

The group ahead of us (2nd group out; 2M's & 2F's) moved up to play from green tees while we moved up to whites. Don't see guys playing "greens" much and they weren't super-seniors or even seniors...so it seemed a bit odd; maybe beginners we thought?

So we're all sitting watching group 1 play, approaching green and expecting group 2 to tee off. Nope. Well the group behind us starts getting antsy and yelling out to group 2 to go. Nope. A few minutes pass and starter calls out for group 2 to go. Nope. I don't think group 2 hears starter, so I call over to them (from white tees to greens) to go. Nope. Group 1 is now putting. I call again to group 2 to go. He yells back to me that nobody is going to tell him when to hit the ball. I answer that starter has requested him to play. Nope.

Group 1 are now in their carts and driving away. Group 2 is now preparing to play.

Plenty of irate folks...just the way to start a round...as we think, what lies ahead tonight?

Everything was fine after 1st hole...must have been some divine intervention!

PS. You of course know where and how far the "green tee gang" hit (mis-hit) their balls. Longest tee shot of the four was a little over 100 yards.
