In summary -
1)no need for condescending attitude in response, 2) imagined evaluation of my game, or 3) bizarre "limitations" logic/speculation, 4) grouping every green tee player with these 4 particular players

It was meant as a humorous story and as I said, we were never troubled by the group on subsequent holes.

This nonsense reminds me why I seldom post.
I'm with you on this one! Makes you wish you could put a big red X over those posts that come out of left field! I too quit posting for a while, but realized those type posts are not going away, nor are they going to stop me from gaining information and expressing opinions on this wonderful forum.

Keep those posts coming. I'm a bogie golfer who does a back flip (well, not actuallyl) when I shoot under 90, and being shorter, off the tee, than my playing partners, wasn't offended. Hey, that's why golf is a "four letter word"! But, love the game more than any other sport I've ever played, including nude synchronized swimming (gave that up years ago)!
