I absolutely agree with what the pro at Cane Garden did.
Now I have an opportunity to visit this pro and set a tee time for four of my family members and me to play a round. Was concerned that we would have had to split to a twosome and a threesome. Boy The Villages surely is the friendliest town in Florida. The Cane Garden's pro move smacked of elitism/aka entitlement. |

Hopefully they didn't hold you up and that they were at least pretty.

whats the big hurry anyway....
Hubby and I just love to sit in the cart, back far enough as not to be a bother, and critique their playing abilities. Lifes too short not to laugh alittle. |

Wanting to maintain a decent pace of play is not the same as being in a hurry.

It's certainly not going to be any slower than a three and a two, and as long as it's not common practice, I would say that it's a good thing to do whatever can be done to accommodate a player as long as it doesn't interfere with other players.

Their course..............their rules.
Quote:
On the same page where it says, "A maximum of four golfers per group are allowed" (Yep, that's right Grammar Police, it should say "is allowed") is an additional paragraph. It says, "Note: In some cases the golf staff is extended some liberty in using good judgment on how these policies are applied. As long as the deviation from policy does not circumvent the intention behind the guideline and does not inconvenience other golfers, golf and country club team members are encouraged to demonstrate Raving Fan service. Failure to follow these guidelines, or those given by golf course staff, especially discourteous behavior, may result in unpleasant consequences for all involved." Now, arguably, a person may not like the escape clause. But the fact is that the people who made the rules created an escape clause for themselves. Their course.............their rules.

There are several other scenarios where it might make sense to allow a fivesome. That's why the golf professional is given that discretion. The other side of the coin is that he has to answer to his boss and if he makes a bad call and people complain he's going to hear about it. If he makes enough bad calls, he might be looking for a new job.

Not that you're acting as the Grammar Police or anything, right?!?

Could have been said "four golfers maximum are allowed"

Not sure about golf rule language but the word " shall" means every thing in contract language.
