Staying by the green just played...
while waiting for the next to clear(or practicing putting on that green while there are people on the tee waiting to play the hole you've just finished).
That is a complete breach of etiquette. When a hole is completed and the next tee has a group teeing off or waiting to tee off you pull up past the green just played, but before the next tee. Now if a person on the next tee is set to hit then don't go further than between the green just played and the next tee behind their carts. Unbeknownst to most on the execs it is not a breach of etiquette to pull up behind the next tee carts while no one is hitting(or between players hitting). Most have been told not to pull up to close to those on the next tee, but that only applies to pulling up to the back tees as a courtesy suggested by the villages(only)because some folks don't like it. The USGA rule book only suggests that while others are in the process of teeing off you don't talk, play music or move around. As long as you are still and quiet you can pull up right behind their carts....again only if no one is in the process of teeing off. Now it is perfectly okay if the people on the tee ahead of you request you back it up(not as far as the green behind you)and you should comply with their request...good manners. As to those who say "well we can't go anywhere due to the people on the next tee" that is no excuse to keep those on the tee waiting to play the hole you just finished to have to wait. Now that is a breach of etiquette and it is not your function to affect pace of play when it's backed up...that would be a good ambassadors function. |

As an interesting aside, was playing Destin about a year ago, came off 4 to go to 5, stopped at the gold tee as 2 women in a group were about to tee off from the YELLOW tees. Some idiot with them came running back up the cart path, screaming and waving his arms yelling back up, back up (interesting since we were just around the curve and probably 80+ yards behind the yellows). He screamed their wives don't like anyone watching them hit!!!!! I suggested that for $5-10 million he can build a very nice 18 hole course of his own and not have anyone watch them hit. Until then, they will be playing on relatively crowded courses with lots of people "watching" (like I'd ever be interested in how they hit a golf ball:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:) |

It's an informative post since it appears some folks get quite angry when others approach the tee they are on when all they have to do is ask politely to hang back a bit. While others think it's their choice to take up spare time by practicing on the hole they just finished(or stay parked across from the green conversing and not moving as they should) with no thought or care about the group behind them. No ulterior motive. |

Two ladies were standing by their golf cart chatting away.:blahblahblah::blahblahblah: Yelled four but they just kept talking. Hit the ball on the green :duck: and one of the ladies turned and looked at us with outstretched arms and an expression of WTH. She complained to the ambassador and he told us to wait until they drove away. :ohdear::ohdear::ohdear: |

how about the starter not send groups out too quickly. I HATE waiting on each and every hole after the first couple of holes. And I don't mind others putting while waiting since my group will just end up sitting and waiting anyhow. I've actually left the course when back ups get two and three deep.
