There was a fivesome with 4 women who refused to let us (a threesome) play through. I called the course, and they sent a guy to break them up. The guy then came over, tried to start a fight with me… “do you know who I am? don’t fuck with me. My brother in law is Jxxx Jones, he holds the course record here” and the proceeded to play as slow as possible in front of us.

For some reason, this story reminds me of the foursome who were playing near the Pittsburgh area a few years abck, and one dropped dead of a heart attack. The others placed his body to the side of the green, then continued to play on. Their excuse: they were only a couple of holes from the clubhouse anyway, and he would have wanted them to play on.

So, it's not just football fans. Whew, for a minute there I was worried.

Step up, bomb one down the middle and act like a pimp, twirling that club on the way down.

Dang!

slow play rarely bothers me unless it’s truly horrible. i like the time to practice and rehearse my shot.

Playing through is awesome, on a good day. Step up, bomb one down the middle and act like a pimp, twirling that club on the way down.

I assume playing through is generally frowned upon?

I have no problem playing through or letting others play through. It’s when you try to be a complete asshole about it is when it becomes an issue.

What’s frowned upon is asshats playing incredibly slow, measuring putts front and back and generally playing like Kevin Na. If a group is on your tail and waiting every shot, then let them through. Drives me insane

Yup, and if I’m in a foursome with three playing behind us if they get close I support teeing off and letting them pass (assuming the course isn’t packed to the point where it doesn’t matter obviously)

I was just curious and the online reviews of this course are hilarious.

“Don’t waste your money unless you prefer 5 hour rounds. No starter or marshal on duty (Sunday at 1pm) Really? This course is horribly layed out”
“Several of the holes are very close and dangerous to play.”

vladdy needed an assist for the commenter triple double apparently

I guess he was feeling generous today and wanted to leave one up on a tee for someone else.

What’s his handicap?

Right now I’d say it’s a leg with limited mobility.

This is a national trend and if this blog can continue to discuss golf only terms of these these violent on-course incidents, we can somehow move past this terrible blemish on society.

If you’re going to go die on a golf course, it has to be from lightning, not a violent confrontation.

Completely agree.*
