Bad golf etiquette-what you should do

[Bunny1]

While playing at Sand Hill today we had group behind us hit a ball up near the green prior to us exiting the green. They did this on 3 separate holes. We went to starter shack to report this as twice the balls were within 2 and 3 feet of hitting us personally. The starter told us for any issues like that to call the starter shack using the phone number listed on bottom of score card. The starter can then radio the ambassador who can then handle the situation.
Our group was not slow in fact we were waiting for grp in front.
We were not aware starter shack address and phone number is on the bottom of all score cards.

[Topspinmo]

I could see this happening occasionally. Usually the ambassador comes by just tell him the group behind us are hitting balls to close or beyond us before we clear. If balls was landing close on the fly that’s dangerous situation. Nobody wants to be clocked by golf ball on the fly.

I know a guy who is a helluva golfer. This was happening to the group he was playing in. (not in TV)

Finally, he had enough and turned around and drove a long one right back at ‘em. They got the message. I certainly am not recommending doing this but I understand it.

By the way, I just have to ask this two-part question — even though I probably will have to take a hit from posters who will accuse me of being sexist. . .

Were you in a group of women?

Were the golfers behind you a group of men?

If your answer to both of those questions is yes, that was not just a flagrant breach of golf etiquette. That was a form of misogyny.

[Bunny1]

:1rotfl:I just read your 2 part question and it really made me laugh!
There were 2 men and 2 women in both foursomes.

[Boomer]

:1rotfl:I just read your 2 part question and it really made me laugh!
There were 2 men and 2 women in both foursomes.

Well then, those women need to teach those men a thing or two about how to act on a golf course — and maybe other places, too.

Oh my, now I will still be accused of being sexist because I assumed the men were the ones almost hitting you.

I’d better quit while I am ahead. . .actually, I guess I am not ahead at all.

Buh-bye,
Boomer

[tophcfa]

First time, give a stare down and shoulder shrug. Second time, hit the ball somewhere out of harms way. Third time, hit the ball back at them.

[graciegirl]

Nope. That isn't the way to handle it. It is golf, not tennis.

[Neils]

Finding an extra ball can be handy.

[VApeople]

I would have gone berserk. I get very, very mad when people do things that endanger our safety.

If a person in the group behind us hit a ball near us as we were leaving the green, I would have yelled and cursed at them as loud as I could.

We walk the exec courses and I always watch the group behind us when we leave the green to make sure they give us time to get well off the green. We leave our pull-carts on the side of the green close to the next hole and, after we finish the hole, we move to the next tee right away. No loitering and talking with our playing partners until we are out of the way.

[Papa_lecki]

Actually, the most effective thing to do, after the second time, wait for them - and talk to them.
It seems like they must have been decent golfers, or the shots that landed near you were luck.
Let them know you are waiting for the group in front of you.

That or hit the ball back at them.

[nick demis]

Before moving here, when it has happened to me, I usually stand on the front of the green or the middle of the fairway and lift my hands up like WTH. If they intentionally ignore me and don't respond, I pick up the ball and throw it into the woods, water or way out of bounds from where they can see me do it. 99% of the time they acknowledge with an 'I'm Sorry" signal. I have hit into another group by mistake. usually when they are in the rough and we didn't see them and I make it a point to catch up to them and apologize in person.

[rjn5656]

Let them know after the first time, pick up the ball after the 2nd time. Calling an ambassador might work, but could take a while for them to get there.

[Codysmom]

This is very frustrating. Since it appears that you were not creating slow play, you should have waited on the next tee for them and tell them. Then they could wait longer. The ambassadors will never say anything to them. This is the worst golf etiquette and you should have reported them at the end of the round as the shack has their information. Throwing their balls, etc. is just childish, but getting hit by a golf ball is not fun.

[jimlambert]

Free equipment! I love this game!

[wamley]

If you have ever been hit with a golf ball you might have gone back and said something .....it HURTS

[Earlride]

Well, if you ever get hit on the green or in front of the green you can sue them. Those of you who are hitting up have to understand this too. I sued a guy that hit me and settled for $35,000 only because he died the week before the trial, otherwise it would have been more. Just a word the wise on both sides.

Cursed and yelled. Very classy

[karostay]

Did they also have 2 Velcro dogs with service vest in their carts
That would explain everything

[jabacon6669]

Typically, if you were to be hit into, it was probably due to you not being seen, such as a dog leg or over a hill. Those do not make it ok, it was probably an accident and the hitter should and in most cases would come up and apologize. Now it were to happen again, or if it was a first time in the open, a raising of the arms, should work. Beyond this, not a good idea to get into a confrontation. If they think you are slow, they should notify the ambassador, we call him a ranger. And, the same with you, they keep hitting into, call the ranger. I have always known that to stop any conflicts without any repercussions. Cool heads and common sense should prevail. This is golf, supposed to be fun. TV more than any place will have more of a mix than most courses, both in ability and knowledge of rules and courtesy.

[Weavej2718]

Golf ranger=worst job in the world

Next time hit it back at the jerks!

I’m sorry this happened to you, I’m sure it ruined your round. This time of year, we have renters from everywhere, without any golf education.They abuse our residents and courses. This has happened to me on many occasions, and I’m a fast golfer. I just pick up their golf balls and sometimes I’ll throw their balls in a bush. They get the message much quicker than calling the Ambassador. 😉

[Shadia328]

Agreed!

[Pdesensi]

Group of men did that to my group. After several times, I decided what to do. They hit into us and I fell down like I was hit with golf ball. Didn’t see them anymore. They left without coming to see if I was alright. Go figure. Lol

[DIver0258]

Nice move. I just usually pick up their golf balls. I’m starting a collection. Label date, course, and hole. Gonna be a nice display. LOL

[donassaid]

Not everything needs to be about race or gender. This was just rude and inconsiderate. The first time can be forgiven. If it happens twice, hitting a ball back at them would certainly get the message across.

You are correct, hit it back at them!!!!!!!

[Jerseyborn]

If the ball falls that close, my brother-in-law picks it up and throws it in the water. Then waves.

[WVB#1]

The first time, I would have given them a pass. After that I would have picked up their ball and put it in my pocket.

[Mortal1]

and it hits one of them they can sue you as well.

[jbrown132]

Was it an accident or was it intentional? Was it the first time or did they do it repeatedly. The reason I ask these questions is that in most states the courts follow the doctrine of “assumption of risk.” The general rule is that people who knowingly and deliberately engage in dangerous activities assume the risks that are inherent in those activities. Playing golf is one of those as there are golf balls flying all over the course and it is reasonable to assume there is a risk of being hit. If it was an accident and not deliberate I am surprised a court would even hear the case. So my final question is are you one of those guys trying to hit the lottery by suing anybody any chance you get hoping the insurance company will settle before they go to court?

[Shoresands]

If this is prevalent where you play make some index cards with the message "Golf Etiquette 101, (a) on par 3's never hit your tee shot until the preceding group clears the green completely, likewise,(b) on par 4's never hit your 2nd shot and (c) on par 5's don't hit your 3rd shot. Violation results in a 2 stroke penalty or loss of or plugging of ball according to severity or number of violations exceeding one at the option of the lead group." Then leave one next to the cup. Next occurance, pocket their ball.

[beeneyra]

You should always read the score card, each course has its own local rules on it along with phone numbers.

[greg.turay]

I make it a point to have lots of sand in my bottle and cover the ball, the second time, with a pyramid of sand. It will slow the group down looking for their ball.😜😜😜

[propjob]

I accidentally did this to the group in front of us on a 495 yd par 5 hole. Hit a good drive then clocked a hybrid 5 about 230 yds. Never did that before and thought there was no way I could reach them but the ball was sitting on the green when I got up there. Fortunately, the next hole was a short par 3. I waited till they cleared the green and then drove up and apologized. All was good after that but the golf gods were on their side ... on in 2 and bogied the hole.

Unfortunately we've had to report damn near getting hit by a ball ourselves. It seems to happen this time of year too. If we didn't get hit our carts have. We report it. People know better but do it anyway not realizing the danger.:ohdear:

Get help with your anger issues. It’s a game not a career

[guitarguy]

Try to keep in your cart an old, beat up, ugly ball. Then take their ball and replace it with the old beater. They will get the message. If they come to you and ask for their ball, you now have an opportunity for a conversation about patience.

Your prejudice is showing.
I would say your more an impatient, than fast golfer!

[Charlieo]

I ride over the ball with the golf cart.

[EviesGP]

Sometimes accidents happen. But when it's repeated(and on a Par 3 course, which almost all holes do not have blind spots), it's not! And it is dangerous behavior, and will not be allowed. The Starter was correct. You call them, and they notify the Ambassador, whom will/should immediately drive there and speak to them! As a former Ambassador, I would have dealt with that seriously. If they do not, you need to call Golf Mgmt, as this behavior is not acceptable. We/they can easily identify who was behind you.

[kenoc7]

First time, give a stare down and shoulder shrug. Second time, hit the ball somewhere out of harms way. Third time, hit the ball back at them.
Another idea - pick the ball up and put it in your pocket.

[bilcon]

Call the starter shack. Some people forget there are people waiting to tee off and they linger next to the green when they are finished. I live on an executive course, and the other day 4 guys sat and BSed next to the green for 5 min instead of waiting near the next tee, thus holding up the 4 some behind them. No ambassador in sight. Rude.

[Ndomines]

Setting a good example and gently talking about golf etiquette goes a long way.
Here us what We do
RAKE YOUR SAND FOOT PRINTS
CARRY AND USE DIVIT REPAIR TOOL ON THE GREENS
MAKE SURE YOUR FELLOW PLAYERS WATCH YOU REPAIR THEIR DIVITS AS WELL AS OTHERS YOU HAPPEN ON
AND
WALK THE PERIMETER, not across the green.
Then call the Bogart and Bacall ambassadors over and give them a lesson on politeness they sure as heck mussed that one.

[Lottoguy]

That's why I would do. The second time pick the ball up or balls up and put them in your pocket. They will then ask you why you did that.

[72lions]

This is different than championship layouts where, if a ball comes in close, I place it on a tee to ensure they understand. That way no confrontation occurs. An apology usually happens. Unfortunately the Executive courses are largely par 3s frequently with players who are not long time golfers. 1, they may have no knowledge of the game and 2, are more likely to hit shots that have a large dispersion. Using my non golfer wife as an example, her hybrid can travel anywhere from 2 yards ������ to 100.

[npwalters]

First time, give a stare down and shoulder shrug. Second time, hit the ball somewhere out of harms way. Third time, hit the ball back at them.

I have used method #2 before. it got the point across. Of course, you better be prepared to defend yourself if required.

Pick up the ball(s) place them in your pocket and drive off. They'll get the message and you don't have to bother either the starter or the ambassor who will do NOTHING for you as they're afraid of getting let go. You're :welcome:

[llmcdaniel]

Hi Bob and Cheri. This kept happening to us during ladies’ golf one time. One of our gals quietly picked up the ball and pocketed it. We all giggled when the jerk spent quite a bit of time looking around and yelling that he knew his ball had hit close to the green. No more balls were hit into our group.

[Tom M]

Your post is more alarming than the original poster. Unless someone was maliciously trying to hit you this seems way over the top.

We had people hit the ball close to us when playing in Iowa. My friend just picked up the ball and walked away.

Rather you were "slow" or not ("slow" is relative, The V's has many people who have never played golf in their lives, and others of us have played since we were youth, but this is a different situation), this is a retirement community with many novices. There is NO valid excuse, "slow" or not, for taking the opportunity to do serious injury to a fellow community member, who may, even live in the next block from you. How will these people feel should they hit someone in just the right spot of the temple to cause their death ? Worth it to "speed things up" ? Sure it's slow to be behind a novice, but this is a very different situation and environment with an all senior community. Way too much of this kind of thing happening anymore.... THINK about it !

[Curtisbwp]

Personaly, i believethat being manly is what works for me. Confront the group and try to resolve the issue. I disagree with the notion that when people buy a house in TV they also buy a baby sitter.

[SeaCros]

So many folks from other places that must play like that back home. They should really try to adapt to the play of The Villiges

[kens613]

Just pick up the ball and put in your pocket and wave back thank you..

[villager2017]

The 1st time it happened I would pick the ball up and keep it. The 2nd time I would hit the ball back at them.

[Mortal1]

Your post is more alarming than the original poster. Unless someone was maliciously trying to hit you this seems way over the top.

very few balls that are hit into the group ahead are malicious...more often they are done accidentally. If you aren't sure how far it will go then you wait. If it happens once then apologize...twice then you're a jerk.

None of this is "over the top" as you say.

[Funkman]

The 1st time it happened I would pick the ball up and keep it. The 2nd time I would hit the ball back at them.
It's all about having patience



wait until you get a full sleeve of balls before hitting back at him

[John_W]

I've been playing off and on since 1962 when I was 12, and I've never had anyone hit into us on a par 3. Since a par 3 is so close, you would think a loud sorry would be what I would expect to hear. If you didn't hear it, I would toss the ball back off the green.

On par 4's or par 5's it's much more common. Just two weeks ago a guy in my group on #3 at Kilamanjaro Par 5 hit his second shot about 260 with the roll and it ended up on the front fringe of the green and the group in front were still putting. He drove up in his cart and apologized and they said, no problem.

Sometimes you will have a blind drive, especially if you cut across bunkers on doglegs. I had that happen about six months ago on the par 5 at Mallory (Caroline) #5 that has a creek across the fairway. I hit my drive over the bunker on the right, a shorter distance that way and it's further from the creek, I can drive the creek if I don't go far enough to the right. When we got over on the other side of the bunker, those guys in front were still on our side of the creek and my ball was right next to his cart. I have no idea why they were still there, the green we could see from the tee and it was clear. I apologized, but it's sometimes hard to avoid when you have a slow group in front of you on the championships.

[Andyhope]

I’d hit the ball back to them

[kcrazorbackfan]

First time, give a stare down and shoulder shrug. Second time, hit the ball somewhere out of harms way. Third time, hit the ball back at them.

This happened to me a couple of times on MH Virginia several months back; the 2nd time was on #8 and when the ball stopped a few feet from me, I zinged it off into the pond to the right of the fairway. I turned around and yelled at the group that the next one was coming back toward them; never happened again the rest of the round.

[Gpsma]

I loved reading this...as everyone knows, golf is a microcosm of the world.

Really, golfers? Such first world problems...as much as u want to think...you arent on a PGA course playing with Tiger Woods....you are here with the “Everyman Golfer”...give it a break.

[Bogie Shooter]

What makes you think this was a renter?

[CTKID]

I always find it interesting that golfers think hitting a golf ball toward someone by accident or on purpose justifies hitting a ball at someone. Personally I am not accurate enough to hit the person that hit on us. With my luck I would hit the wrong person. A wave of the arms and a call to the shack seem like a reasonable response followed by a calm conversation.

I have been telling my children for over twenty years, "What we say and do and how we say it or do it is a reflection of us not the people we are upset with".

[VApeople]

NO!!!!

When a person intentionally does something that endangers our safety, I do not give them a break! I scream at them and really give them Hell.

[Professor]

Just pick the ball up, waive and go to the next hole. They will get the message.

[Marine1974]

I would suggest never hitting a golf ball back at someone who hit their golf ball at you .

I have a question.....I haven't played in many years but. Why not let them play through?

[Paporter]

What makes you think this was a renter?

We don’t see posts about poor golf etiquette until the “seasonal renters” arrive. Have you stopped to observe the people playing, they’re not residents. It’s younger folks here for a golf Vacay. You must be an “investment income” property owner, otherwise you wouldn’t brought this up.

P.S. I recommend that all Investment Income Property owners, give their renters The Villages brochure on proper golf etiquette, perhaps this will cut down on some of the infractions.

Bunny1, I can tell you right now they won’t really say to much to them, they’ll just tell them to wait until you are on your cart & leaving. Maybe they’ll do it & maybe they won’t. No way the Ambassador will make any body mad.

Biggest complainers in TV are golfers...

The courses arent right
The greens arent right
The people are too slow

On and on...mayne they should remember what they paid to get a course up north.

And TV isnt all about golf...naybe some golfers should enjoy something else

We don’t see posts about poor golf etiquette until the “seasonal renters” arrive. Have you stopped to observe the people playing, they’re not residents. It’s younger folks here for a golf Vacay. You must be an “investment income” property owner, otherwise you wouldn’t brought this up.

P.S. I recommend that all Investment Income Property owners, give their renters The Villages brochure on proper golf etiquette, perhaps this will cut down on some of the infractions.

When is 'seasonal renter' season, is that October and November? Because I fixed plenty of ball marks besides my own, raked traps and filled divots in those months. And typically people that would go on a 'golf vacay' as you call it, would take the time to do some basic repairs.

And I'm not an investment income property owner either.
