I have heard about a couple of instances here, that people refused to rake bunkers, even after other players went to an abassador, and the ambassador went and told the people, and they still refused. Then, the ambassador went and got the head pro, or director of golf, they came out and told them to do it, and people still refused, and they were eventually escorted off the course, one time by police, actually, and had playing PRIVELEGES, and yes, it IS a privelege, revoked. It is the players job, yes, of course. Now, when playing at clubs, that have caddies, then it is the caddies job. But, it is ALWAYS the players job to fix ball marks on the green!! These people that think it isn't their job, might as well have the ambassador play their shots for them too!! This subject really ****es me off, actually, so I am going to stop typing!!!

I am afraid that those ladies who posed the question were rookies.

THEY WERE MEN!!! 4 MEN...VILLAGE RESIDENTS WHO GAVE 2 AMBASADORS HE** FOR NOT CLEANING UP THEIR MESS!


AGAIN....I know the rules, the etiquette....I just wanted to see if anyone on here would admit to acting in this manor...or believed that this was something included in their amenity fee...


SO...I guess those MEN were amuteurs as GG would call them....the WOMEN were behind them....cleaning up their mess!

Cassie,

I don't even golf and I know the rules. Shame on some!

I know Shirl....what some don't understand is...that I AGREE with them! Etiquette is the most important thing....


We are laughing so hard at poor RCT (Ronnie) because we didn't mean to PI## him off...but we understand and empathize/sympathize...

Actually we agreed with everyone on here....apparently it was not TOTV members that were playing with my co-worker. I guess I should have known better....TOTV members are too well behaved for such nonsense!

Sorry but think you contrived the entire episode.....can't imagine this scenario being realistic whether men or women as the foursome. One maybe two but not all four being ***es and displaying such behaviour. In all my years of golfing experiences never and I say never have I experienced what you described. I must have led a sheltered bogey free life.

36 years of golf for me and many years I played five days a week, all over the U.S. Even a few rounds abroad. Never, ever heard of behavior like that.

Well sorry you think that...but I would bet a million dollars that it is true...in fact it happens more than you know. The other day someone from the GMS system asked if it was spelled out under the amenities description so they would have it to hand out to golfers. While everyone on TOTV might know the answers....not everyone in TV's does. This is a true story and there are many similar ones to be heard.

You would be amazed at the stories we here....

This was not a thread to get everyone into an argument. If I wanted that I would have gone back into Political with my debating friends!! LOL

Apparently the blood gets just as boiled when it comes to golf!



Back to political for me....seems safer!

Default Wrongs or mis-information or mis-understandings

are not just for the political forum....it happens in or on all subjects.
Like so many subjects in all our public lives, a quorum winds up expending energy and brain matter on the isolated few VS the MAJORITY. Too many of us have been playing for way too many years without ever bumping into the scenario put forth in this thread.
It does present fodder for debate.
I am all for the 99++% that do it right. There will NEVER be 100% adherence to any rules or behavior. I have a hard time getting too concerned about minority (not race) driven issues.

You can buy a rule book at most any Pro shop which will tell anything you need to know about rules of golf.
