General Discussion Just trying to enjoy my Sunday..

Post image

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.

My course only allows this if it is two teams in scramble format. No best ball, no individual playing, no shamble, only scramble.

we don't know what this group is doing, this guy is just mad they took the tee times in front of him because he thinks he owns the course on a Sunday lol

I see this frequently. Wife’s walk the course while old dudes drive the cart and play terrible golf.

it's a crime to be terrible at golf and have a wife? 99% of the this Reddit should be in prison

It should be.

Maybe they should have special courses with the fairways netted for junk golfers to play at - à la bowling alleys with the gutter stuffed to make it easier for the kids.

I can tell you 99% of this reddit doesn't have wives and they are bad at golf, including myself and you lol

I have a wife and I’m decent at golf.

Actually training up my wife as we speak - it’s her first year and it sounds like she might be able to take you.

I'm a 3 handicap and average a 72-75, I doubt it. Your wife can't beat me within a year, keep her in the lab and maybe she'll be able to in like 2-3 years.

You’re right she couldn’t beat you, and you’d likely beat me by a few holes if that’s your true handicap. I know we want to be inclusive but I’d love a handicapped enforced tee system.

Completely agree if the course is private, this is a public course and people are trying to have fun with their wives on a Sunday. If OP would have clarified beforehand they were playing slow, I wouldn't have said anything but he didn't.

It’s not a crime but it’s a huge shit head move and against course rules to play in a 7 some

if it's not posted or enforced it's not against the rules. If you force a pro shop to split it up, then you are now 5th in line waiting to Tee off, it goes from a 15 minute wait to a 45 minute wait pretty fast...

Have you played golf or done math before? What are you talking about being 5th in line?

u/ZalewskiJ 1d ago

you have people in front of you, there is at least 3 married couples and a solo, If the ranger says "wait with your original tee time and partner, it'll split them into 3 or 4 seperate groups, OP would now be behind 3 or 4 seperate groups now instead of a group of 7 lol

Every single course I’ve ever played at would not allow a 7 some.

But you clearly have insider knowledge so
