Blowing up the FF23 talk for a quick story. Maybe the worst golf etiquette I have experienced and at Keller of all places around here. - Was not going to post it in this thread but weeks later and I still think about it.
Couple of weeks ago friends and I had a 5:30 tee time at Keller Chasing daylight. No expectations, we were just trying to get 9 in. Group ahead of us was a guy and two women (all in carts) who clearly did not play golf very often. While they were not very good players, they were playing fairly fast and kept up with the group ahead of them. We are on the first green when literally out of nowhere 3 guys (all on carts) drove up from the tee box to the green and asked āHey can we play through you guys?ā
My buddy handled it so well, basically said āhey look the group ahead of us is still on the tee box. No you canāt because you arenāt going anywhereā (you can see the second tee box from the green, literally the group ahead of us hasnāt teed off yet) and these guys dug in. Called us stupid because we didnāt understand that they were on carts so they would get out of our way and play faster than us. Keep in mind this is on the first green and as far as we can see, the course is entirely full on the front nine.
Elevates to them yelling but we held our ground calmly. End with them saying āWell you do not have the ability to say I canāt play through but I wonāt do it. But you are wrong!ā - We found out these knuckleheads were the 5:40 tee time! Rest of the round they hit into us and were intentionally driving into our fairway when we were teeing off in front of them (like from 5 fairway in front of the tee on 6, things like that).
Probably did a bad job of setting the scene and truly articulating how big these pieces of shit were but what the heck man?!? - Not one thing those guys did was right. Trying to play through on an entirely full golf course, hitting into us and screaming at us calling us stupid, everything was just disgusting. Weirdly, probably not a golf issue, I think all of these things say something about those guys as people and not just them as golfers.
TLDR: You should need a license to get on a golf course
The balls on these guys to try to play through on the first hole is wild to me. Then obviously they crest the green on 1 to 2 tee and can probably see 10 groups on the course from there, but continue to be assholes. Fuuuuuuck those guys. Just total egotistical dipshits who think they understand the unwritten rules of golf.
Ill be in Minneapolis in a couple of weeks for a business trip. Is there weather still good enough to bring clubs along? Where do I need to play if I get some afternoons free? Thank you,Chris
