After watching some of these golfers, sitting right next to the green is one of the safest places to be...

Standing right next to the pin is probably the safest! (Runs away, ducking for cover...) ;)

If they do not move away from the green think of your next shot as target practice.:a040:

It's not clear . On the executive courses. If you are handicapped you can park close to the green, but then I'm sure you knew this. One never hits until the green is cleared including carts. But then with55 yes experiances you knew that to so are you mouthing off because of slow play?. Good luck in life if my scenerio is correct

Third executive course complaint thread started in a week. That would indicate your scenario is spot on.

Last time I checked it’s the score you put on the card not how quickly you play!

I don't think that was the point the OP was trying to make. He wasn't commenting on the pace of play nor was he planning on hitting before the group ahead left the green. He was put off by the fact that the group ahead had left the green and was "lollygagging" on the cart path next to green, creating an unsafe situation, despite multiple warnings. At least that is his side of the story.

I really can't speak to what happens on exec courses since I never play them, but standard etiquette is to move off in a timely fashion after you finish the hole. That means don't sit there and record scores, talk on your cell phone, read "War and Peace", or my favorite----screw around in your bag for 3-4 minutes. Do all that at the next tee.

More accurate title

The ugly "incident" of exec golf.....
that day
that course
that time
that group

The rest of the times and rest of courses, any day, mostly enjoyable.

The one and only post the OP has made in this thread is the very first post. Any interpretations of what that confusing post was trying to communicate since post #1 is just that - an interpretation. None of those interpretations have been responded to or verified by the OP.

Given the OP's previous Executive Course encounters, with playing parners, etiquet etc, I think he is just a very unfortunate golfer.
He seems to have had a problem on each round he plays.
Certanly had more over the last week or two, than wife and I have had in 20+ years!

Villagers are entitled. .rules are for the other guy. Ifm you don't believe me, watch them driving!

Dotneko 05-18-2021 05:16 AM

Sounds like the OP has a case of little man syndrome.
There were numerous attempts to communicate with the group in front AND they hit a ball near the cart in question. Two wrongs dont make a right and OP was trying to 'learn them fools a lesson about clearing the green'. He's a wanna be policeman in more than one aspect of his life lol

Unfortunately, some folks think that this is their world only, oblivious to the fact that it is shared thus ignoring rules and regulations.

cj1040 05-18-2021 06:35 AM

Lol for the day....just amazing..

tsmall22204 05-18-2021 06:37 AM

Why didn't they call their mommy. Sounds like children anyway not getting their way on the playground.

Very funny but probably true. Too many entitled seniors with senility or brain freeze playing golf. Lucky me my eyes will never allow me to play golf or become an airplane pilot
