1 person hitting multiple balls
 
It happened again tonight. El Diablo golf course and it's 5:15 and I tee off. I get to the 2nd hole and a man is on the tee with 8 balls teed up and hitting them. I sat and sat as I watched his balls go every which way. When he finished I pulled up and told him I'm passing him to the next hole and then told him 8 balls is ridiculas. He didn't even bat an eye. Unbelievable! Some of these old geezers think they deserve it. BULL!

I'm curious. How old is an "old geezer"?

You must have played pretty fast after that, an hour and fifteen minutes later you were posting about it.

He's probably still out there hitting all 8 balls. He was a geezer....I'm a G.I.T. Geezer in Training!

As a reminder, please address the topic and not the person posting it.

Where are the ambossadors when you need them? I am surprised they let him get away with that.

Rubicon.

If this happens again, just call the girls posse and we will handle it.
Call 1-800-SQUIRT.

Wazzamatta him?

How was that for a girl from Ohio and German descent?

Yea considerate way was to let you play through before he hit 8 balls.

Geewiz 03-02-2013 09:46 AM

I don't golf - but, based on the title of the thread alone, I'm intrigued. Is he limiting his strikes to his personal balls or is he going after any set of balls he spies? Am I missing the point of the thread or is this why TV is the happiest place on earth next to mouseland? Just asking.....

DonH57 03-02-2013 09:46 AM

I've never played golf yet and I can't see how or why anyone would attempt to play more than one and keep track of them.

ajbrown 03-02-2013 10:11 AM

Based on your description of the situation and his etiquette at least we can be comforted by the fact he fixed any damage he did to the course like ball marks, divots and raking bunkers :a20:

PS. after you skipped by him, did you hit ten tee shots on next hole :evil6:? I could see a new game invented: The Villages executive golf leapfrog.

May have been a new golfer who was unaware of the rule. I would have pointed that out to him in a pleasant way before jumping on him. If he continued after that, a call to the starter would be justified.
