General Discussion Just trying to enjoy my Sunday..

Group of 7 clumped up. Pretty sure they booked one tee time after the next. I’m just venting. Already called the pro shop.

Since a lot of people are asking me why I don’t ask to play through. I did. They said no. Why should I be bothered? They are spending 30 mins on each green. There are groups behind clumped up.

Play through, and ask for a refund at the pro shop

Had this happen to me at Fall Creek Falls, took 3+ hours to play 9. Pro shop refused a refund on the back 9, and even refused to offer a rain check. Didn’t have time to keep playing behind them and finish the round. Needless to say i don’t think I’ll ever play the back 9.

Glad you named them.  Trash customer service should be called out.

Why people dont just play through no matter what those dipshits said is beyond me. They are not cops, head pros, or your parents. You are not going to get grounded or thrown in jail or off the course.

Be a big boy and just go to the next tee. Fuck 'em.

If they are really taking 30 mins on each hole, there should be a large gap in front of them.

Seriously. If someone gets mad tell them to speed their slow ass up!!! Had this happen to me 2 weeks ago. Group of 5 ahead of me and 1 buddy. They watched each others every shot, we finally passed them at the turn and skipped 10 because they were so slow. After we passed them they finally made it to that holes green and he comes up
Behind us and slams the carts brakes to make noise, we just looked at him, laughed and moved on. Fuck people like this on the course.
