Golf etiquette is dead
Again playing today, the guy in front of me hitting 2 balls on every tee. I politely asked him to only hit one ball as the course was getting backed up. He ignored me and continued. A few holes late I again asked him very politely. He said that the people in front of him were slow so it didn’t matter if he hit 2 or 10 ball on each hole. This is really getting out of hand. There is no more etiquette apparently. Might as well join them as you obviously cannot beat them.

Were you a single? I have played behind singles who have played two balls a hole, and providing they keep up with the group in front and did not slow our progress, I honestly see no problem. On other occasions we always offer a single to join us if we are a threesome, or a pair. |
He was a single we were a twosome. He was not keeping up. We caught up to him and had to wait for him to tee off twice on each hole.

Was he solo or with a group of how many? Who was in front of him and how many? Were you solo or with a group Of how many? If he was solo and there was a group of at least 2 in front of him then he is correct. As long as he’s keeping up with the pace of play. They have ambassadors to monitor this? Were they not around? |
Should of asked to play thru.

Could have invited him to join you.

There can be two holes open, but if the groups fits within the charted time......all is good. Even if a group falls behind, the Amb's have no teeth. Jus sit back and enjoy your four hour round. |
Common sense to me. One person, one ball. Plenty of practice ranges around. The “entitled” are taking over. It is their right to play as many balls as they feel like. Say something and you are the bad guy.

Isolated cases (what ever the number) should not be used as a general condition to label most golfers in TV.

I play 7 days/wk. I encounter what you mention a few times a month. NO! Etiquette is not dead, but your patience might be.
