From: The_Professor on 1 Dec 2007 18:14 It was in the 70's today. I didn't expect that the course would be playable...weekend, nice day, usually brings out the worst golfers. But at about 3Pm it wasn't too bad. One really abusive slowsome (5some), but other than that, easy cruising. Played 1-4, caught the 5some, then 8, 2-6 for 10 holes. I walked 8, 2-6 in the time it took the 5some, in carts of course, to play 5-7..in fact they were walking off the 7th green as I got to the putting green as I was leaving the course having played 6. As I drove off, a 7some finished 18, and there was a lineup behind them...a regular group of seniors I see there that NEVER let anyone play though. I felt sorry for the other people who had to suffer through the fact that this group was on the course. In any event, I started to think about how much I enjoyed the solitude of playing golf as a single. Just enjoy walking down the fairways playing golf; nothing else to deal with. Just relax and enjoy for it's own sake. Hopefully it will be in the 50's tomorrow and I can get in 18 or so holes...get ready for monday when every other student in my classes is going to want to ask questions about upcomming finals, and thesis students are going to want to go over their thesis...and I have half a dozen applications to approve (or not)..& etc.

So why are they allowed to use the course in the first place? Don´t you have any manners over there? F

These guys are a regular group of seniors who play at this course. I guess they think they have greater right to the course than anyone else. I wonder what would happen if someone got in front of them and played annoyingly slower than them?

Played as a single on a course up in Nashville, and I had two groups of four ignore me for several holes, before I had to finally go up and ask them if I could please go through.... |
