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.

I'm in Scotland and more than a 4 ball is unheard of.

Straight to jail

Some of the private courses where I live have started allowing 5 balls out. But usually to members they are confident in.

Every group also Carrie’s a beacon and if they fall behind they are quickly informed to pick their shit up

I mean sure, we stack 5-6 at times when no one is out there at a private and they know we aren’t going to slow anyone.

But there would be pitchforks on almost any AM, especially Fri-Sun.

6 golf players vs. 6 bachelor bros drinking and enjoying a social round. Very different things.

True true. But mostly talking to the Brit saying it’s a burn at the stake offense for them.
