Don't worry about dead beats, keep on smiling and enjoy your chipping. Man , would I. Love to play a round of golf with you. You did the right thing.
I appreciate that! Thank you so much!
I am eighty years old and I have run into a few people like that. Luckily only a few. They usually play alone. No one else will put up with them. I admire what you do. I have learned from you. Thank you. Jim
Thank you so much!
SO true
@@goutfromfriedokra3936 I'm going to do a follow-up video tomorrow but I don't feel right mentioning the course.
He is a male version of a Karen. You just ran into a Kevin
Spend that much time around golf you’ll run into one like that guy. You handled it right and the starter did too. Fairways and greens, dude!!
Sometimes there are people looking for a fight. The guy didn't think you were new to the game, he just wanted to share how long he's been playing. Great you focused on the positive and talk to someone else who was being kind... Great video, because it's good to know a problem before you have to deal with the issue. Hope others can just walk away too.
Thank you so much!
Sounds like you handled that as well as anyone possibly could. I’d be honored to chip with you on any green at any time.
That means a lot to me! Update coming soon.
You're a class act; so is the starter. I hope the guy runs across your videos, especially this one.
Thank you for your support!
Sounds like you handled this much better than I would have. I started laughing when I imagined how different my brother's reaction to this troublemaker would have been and what he would have said.
Update today!
There are folks like this everywhere so please don't let them bother you. Don't put your emotional well-being in the hands of those who don't deserve it. I love the way you always work to improve, and you certainly are helping me do so! Keep up your great work!
Thank you so much Todd!
Yeah, he sounds like he's going through life looking for stuff to be right about. That's a long, hard road.
It is a miserable way to live. Thank you!
I took a starter job. Done with that now. (Yes, I am old). It provided me free golf. We always had two members that thought they were in charge. I had to get the manager several times. I hate self-importance, pomposity. It is absolutely NEGATIVE energy. At the course, it SHOULD be a relaxing, fun place. I used to tell folks, any issues with patrons, call the clubhouse, I will get informed, I will deal with it, you focus on your round. Momma always said, smile, it is free, and people like it. The older I get, her words are more true.
So true! Mom's are always correct!
I used to belong to a "country club" in a small town that had a number of members who tried to pretend they were the authorities. Too bad he didn't challenge you to a match so you could have shown him how new to golf you were!😂
I thought about that!
Hello MSH! I've watched your videos for some time now and have always enjoyed them but was never subscribed. I finally subscribed today. It's unfortunate some people are just jerks and miserable in general. You know how the saying goes " Hurting people hurt." Props to you for how you handled yourself and the situation. Good luck on your upcoming tournament. Have a blessed day my friend!
I really appreciate you subscribing. Video coming today and will also give a quick tournament update tomorrow. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing that. As I have mentioned before, I am new to golf and been learning on my own for the last 3 yrs (seasons for me because 6mths out of the year I have snow). I agree with you, if everyone chips there that it should be Ok for you too. I played in my first Senior Tournament last year (only have to be 50 in our area and I'm 51 now) and one of the gentlemen that was in our group was rude to me and always tried to hurry me up, even though it was fine for him to take his time. Finally, a different gentleman in our group told this guy to knock it off and that this guy (me) was new to golf. I did apologize to this guy for "slow" playing but over all, my experience in my first Senior Tournament was good and I'm glad another gentleman said something.
If you have a subscriber Sunday idea that may help you let me know. Thank you so much for the support!
well awesome for asking. I have to work on my wedge game. learn the 56 and 60 degree. like the flop shots and punching out of thick grass. When i practice on a flat surface and on matts, i know im stricking the ball well, its on the course that i have trouble with like the thick grass and the hills/slopes. Cover something like that would be great.@@mistahshorthitter
As an American born dude that has an uncanny resemblance to Pablo Escobar, I can tell you that unfortunately stereotypes and prejudice still exist on some golf courses. Like you said, there are some people in the world that are just jerks. I just it movin and don’t let these types ruin my day.
Thank you so much!
I’m truly new to golf and really appreciate your channel. So hearing about this experience will gets me ready for similar situations I may experience. Thanks.
Thank you for the support! Keep a level head and you will be fine.
The best thing about your channel is watching good golf without a bunch of cussing and bad attitude thanks for always putting out good content and reviews.
Thank you so much!
@@mistahshorthitter you’re welcome and thank you for sharing and making these videos
Hate when this sort of stuff happens. I had that happen once when I was on the putting green with my kid. I wrote it off pretty quickly, but it left an impression on my child and we talked about it later. Sounds like you handled it well!
Thank you so much for the support!
I was a teacher/coach at a small course in the Bay Area of Ca and I was at one hole practicing putting. Just the one hole, not the entire green. I was doing ladder drills and spoke drills just working on my getting the ball in the hole stroke. This guy comes up to me and says "Hey, you can't monopolize a hole on this putting green." The putting green was empty, there was no one on it but he and I. He had like 6 other holes to put to. I was in a corner of the green trying to stay out of the way. I ignored him and continued putting. He said he was going to get the manager. I told him I was the manager. lol. He didn't have much to say after that. Some people just like to be dicks. Golf is full of them, unfortunately. You did the right thing. 👏
That guy sounds like a treat! Thank you so much!
Love your videos. I've played golf for 68 years and still learn from people like you. I'm also a starter at our course. We do sometimes have people like the person you described. Your starter friend summed him up perfectly. He's a jerk.
Thank you so much for the support!
Thanks for all you do. Love your videos. People like that are just high conflict personalities. Something about them thrives on conflict with other people and they have a constant desire to control others. They often create conflict just to feed that desire.
Update today!
Just found your channel a couple of days ago while looking for golf ball reviews. Really enjoy your content and the personable way you address the camera.
I really appreciate that! Thank you so much!
Every golf course has a couple of these guys. They think they own the place.
Exactly right! For the price of their $40 green fee 😂
There are just some miserable individuals in this world and they like to try to bring everyone down with them. You handled it perfectly. These people are best defeated by staying calm and refusing to argue with them. Easier said than done sometimes. Hope your match went well.
Thank you so much! You are so right! Update coming soon.
I'm so sorry you endured such a rude, negative person. You handled the situation perfectly. I wish all golfers had your emotional intelligence. May you have many enjoyable hours of chipping and great golf.
Thank you so much!
You know exactly what it is. Keep doing what you do Brotha ✊🏾
He’s lucky Mr. Short Hitta is a nice guy. That’s all I’ll say.
Thank you, I will!
Yes!
Small minded self-loathers are everywhere. Ignore him and keep the entertaining videos coming.
Will do!
I played golf in several of my past lives and in parallel universes. 38 years in is new to the game.
Ok.....
“You are new to golf” clearly coded speech. Dont let a guy like that live rent free in your head.
Thank you!
Kindness and compassion never lose, these always win! Well done. We have a few of those guys and girls here in Lansing Michigan
Thank you so much!
Perfectly handled! Appreciate you sharing this incident.
Thank you Jeffrey!
Exact same thing happened to me. My response was- I’ve forgotten more about golf than you’ll ever know.
Good response!
What made him think you were new to golf ?
Man, you already know.
Sigh, that jerk was just another Karen, put on this planet to make others miserable.
You handled it perfectly.
Thank you so much!
There's always one isn't there? I am so sorry it happened to you with this jerk. You're a nice guy and would never damage a golf course or do something improper. You've been around the game long enough and work at a local course... Keep on going back and keep on chipping.
When I as an asst pro and then teacher at a club, we had one too. He was a member at the club for decades and decades and felt like he knew the rules, even though most of them weren't rules at all and felt compelled to interfere at every opportunity. He was a constant source pain in my backside, and everyone else's too.
Thanks for the video and for sharing. It's good to see your conversational style developing and I really enjoy that.
One part I forgot to mention is there is another green by the clubhouse that has a no chipping sign, which is why I go to the other green. Thank you so much. The guy was just trying to intimidate me. Thank you for your continued support!
I played around 100 rounds over the past year and I developed a lot of pet peeves along the way. However, chipping onto a putting green would not bother me enough to be on my top ten list of annoyances, so it certainly wouldn't merit lecturing someone over. Much higher on my list of grievances would be things like slow play, golfers cutting in front of me, local residents hanging out on the fairways, unraked bunkers, etc.
It was a practice chipping and putting green. I confirmed with management in the next video. Thank you for watching!
Karen's and Ken's on the golf course now. There's no safe place in the world to find your happy place. You handled it perfectly because you didn't let him stop you from doing something you've been doing for 8 years. Great videos!!👍🏽
Thank you!
Golf is like
life. People always find something . Be safe and Keep it in the Short Stuff.
Thank you so much!
Don’t sweat it. Some people are just that way. Unfortunately some folks are just confrontational and sometimes the older someone gets the more cantankerous they become. I think anyone who’s been around the course enough has had a small issue. Good on you for taking the higher road. Nothing good could come from a full out argument and someone like that will want the last word or action no matter what. Appreciate you and enjoy your content. Cheers from Massachusetts.
Thank you so much!
It’s an ugly truth but we all know why he thought you were new to golf. As a member at a local club it was almost a year before members stopped asking me if I was a guest or not. Eventually I won them over and they realized I was supposed to be there. Now I’m the 6’3” 250lb black guy with green eyes who wears a big hat and talks with everyone in the club house and on the course. I’m sorta like Norm from Cheers. Love your videos.
Thank you so much!
"There are some people in the world that are just jerks" - true story. And there is no amount of effort that will ever fix that. That just who they are. Be well my friend
Thank you so much!
I appreciate you saying it without saying it so imma say it for you.
The guy was not just a jerk, he is a racist and a jerk!
Thank you!
You handled it better than I would. I would have told him to go pound sand at the bunker lol but I'm an old grumpy combat veteran. I don't but up with Karen's from anywhere. Kudos to for your patience 🙌.
Thank you so much and thank you for your service!
Let it go. Not worth your energy. Arguing with the ignorant is a no-win scenario. Your channel is great and you are a good guy.
Thank you so much!
Whenever I encounter a jerk on the course or elsewhere, I remind myself: Thank God I don't live with that person.
Exactly!
Very sorry that happened to you
You stayed positive. Keep practicing! I need to join you
Thank you, I will!
I have a simple reply for everybody who does things like that regardless of the situation “ thanks for your advice, but I think I’ll pass.” And then I just ignore them.
That's a good one!
I played with a guy for awhile and then one day as we were playing, he went in to a rage and wanted to fight another guy behind us. I never played with him again.
Good decision! Thank you!
There's always a couple of idiots at every course that think once they pay they own the place. Kudo's to you, you stayed calmer than I probably would have.
Thank you!
The old duffer was close to being right, in that MSH was chipping on a putting green, and likely is newer to golf than a 70 year old. But telling a fellow golfer to get off his lawn makes him wrong.
Keep up the great videos MSH!
I'm pretty sure it's a putting and chipping green but I'm going to talk to management. Thank you
Unfortunately there always has to be that one guy. Let it be like water off a ducks back. Life must be hard when they carry around all that hate. Keep on doing what you do
Thank you!
Course by my house has two greens. One for putting only, and one for chips or putts. Signage is clear. Both have their advantages.
Thank you!
You handled it perfectly brother. Angry old man. He didn't ruin your day and I hope you won the 2 man!! Chip on!
We did! Thank you!
I never say this - but I believe the comment was racially motivated. He assumed that you didn’t not spend your life on a golf course and wanted to whitesplain. It’s unfortunate but I’ve encountered that at some of older country clubs.
Thank you so much!
These are the types of people who make 'growing the game' difficult. There are so many who want to get into golf (like me and a billion other people in the last 2-3 years) but the 'stuffiness' of grumpy individuals like the one you encountered can be enough to deter newcomers from ever wanting to step foot on a golf course. On a personal level, I find it's usually best to ignore and move on -- they're not worth it. But it sounds like you handled it best not only for yourself but for any others who may face a similar situation there in the future. Kudos to you!
Thank you so much! I try to keep a level head. I've encountered a lot but this guy was one of the worst. Thank you!
MSH no worries, you handled with class and dignity !!! I have learned over time to simply ignore folks like that. I am sure he is a most unhappy person, and you almost have to feel sorry for him, as he missed a chance to meet knowledgeable and friendly golfer in you. MSH I would happily putt, chip or play with you anytime anywhere. Your virtual friend from Buffalo NY!
You are correct! I would have been happy to talk about this great game with him! Thank you!
Don't mind these kind of people, just flip off the person and continue. More beef? Call the starter and/or call the police.
Yes, you got it! Follow up video tomorrow!
It sounds like you're a better chipper than he is and he didn't like it. Keep smiling. People like that can't deal with it. New subscriber here & really enjoying your content.
@Jeff.Slavich Thank you, Jeff!
Here's something to say about the golf community as a whole.........I didn't hear you or anyone in the comments turn this into a racial thing. If this had been almost any other situation involving a confrontational jerk (at a restaurant, a sporting event, etc.), the first thing the content creator or the folks in the comments would have reached for would have been a race card. Thank you for keeping it classy, and thank you to the golf community for keeping it civil and classy (except for the jackass old man who wanted to argue with you).
I try to simply state the facts. In my opinion a jerk is a jerk. It doesn't help anyone to jump to conclusions. Thank you so much for the support!
Not supposed to be chipping or putting on the course because you wear out the green. There is a practice area for that.
I was on the practice chipping/putting green I said it at the beginning of the video.
I've only been golfing 3 years and have dealt with this but I ain't a golfer and I dealt with like I would somewhere else and once they feel that energy then they change up. I'm trying to be a grown up and chill though. Thanks for sharing
Update today!
Hey, I'm proud of the way you handle the situation. I've had confrontations like that, and I don't have the calmness you have. So, at one point, I told the guy where he could go, "not a nice place "
But keep playing, brother. Idiots like that are everywhere.
Thank you so much!
I've been golfing for almost 9 years and I still feel like I'm new to golf sometimes haha.
Well after 38 years I feel like I've been golfing forever. Lol
I've never played much outside of about a 75 miles radius from where i live. But, I don't think I've ever been to a course that had a separate practice green for chipping.
He just wanted to argue with me. Thank you for watching!
Easy solution - put up a sign that’s says chipping and putting. There’s always a Jagoff that needs confrontation and is a miserable human being . Ignore these people.
Most course just put up no chipping signs on the greens that you can't chip on. However, your solution is a good one. Thank you!
MSH, don't let fools upset you or your lifestyle. If there is no signage, it's irrelevant if you chip there or not. The indvidual that challenged you is the one with the problem. I think of these people as oxygen thieves!
@@stevenorr3196 I agree!!
Did he say "Do you know who my dad is?". The best way to deal with an a hole is to ignore them. It's fun. At that age, you can't fix them.
Thank you Allen!
I deal with people like that often,
1. my response is to be over agreeable (your right the practice green would be a better spot)
2. Find common ground and stroke their ego, ( I see your a good putter, have you played here often what's the hardest hole?)
3. Get them to do or omit to have done what they are complaining about, ( lets see who can chip closer to that hole) or (I know just by looking at you ,you have chipped here before ) say it with praise and laughter
4. Let them win, and or brag up their story ( man that's awesome) (I knew it)
5. Get acquainted ( what's your name? we should play a round some time)
Go back to doing what you were doing and guaranteed this person will now defend you instead.
Treat them positively like they are ten and they will feel like a ten.
I've played Mexico ,Us and Canada , most courses don't want you to chip on the practice putting greens but many people do, so he wasn't wrong however life is better played in the grey area than by the book. this is more about how to deal with small minded people.
He was wrong. In the follow up video I went to management. They informed me that very green is the green they prefer golfers to chip on. That's why there is not a sign.
I had the same thing happen to me earlier this year on a public course's putting. I asked the worker at the course who said that chipping a couple yards off the green was ok but further than that was not approved. I was chipping about 20 yards away from the green, so I guess I was wrong.
Thank you for watching!
It's a golf course's responsibility to manage and regulate the traffic in the practice areas. If a green is solely intended to be a putting or chipping green, there needs to be signage. Leaving things open for interpretation and "unspoken rules" isn't a good practice for a public facility.
My point is that if the golf course really intended for it to be a putting green and nothing else, they would have put up a sign. You did nothing wrong and that guy was just being a "Darren". His lack of self confidence needed an extra boost that day and unfortunately you were his validation victim. I'm sure he spent all 18 holes blaming his bad shots on the grounds crew and mother nature.
You hit the nail on the head!! They have another green by the clubhouse that has no chipping signs. I truly believe that green is for either purpose. I appreciate your support!
I always tell people you can do whatever you want on a golf course as long as you take care of the place and nobody has to wait on you 🤔
Thank you!
I had a similar situation--i'm a hacker and mainly golf for the social aspect. 99% of golfers are awesome (like you). I'm very easy going, however, i think i was having a bad day and i went after the guy--like in your situation the starter was astute enough to diffuse the situation. i'm never gonna be a good golfer--thats fine--meeting and enjoying fellow hackers is what its about for me.
Thank you! Keep enjoying the game!
Next time tell the guy, “Look I’m here to play golf not argue. You want to argue go home and argue with your wife. She has more experience dealing with an idiot. “
😂😂
Sounds to me like you were putting with your wedge from a few feet off the green. 🙂
You got it! 😁
Well - I've watched both your last two rounds. Keep them coming.
Thank you!
Don’t worry about that dude, unfortunately people like that are lurking around but don’t let him get to you, ignorance isn’t worth validation, tee it up and enjoy brother
You got it!
Sadly some golfers are jerks. Yes some greens say no chipping but if there isn't a sign the green is fair game for chipping. What a clown that dude was
Thank you so much. I'm going to post an update today.
I'm 74 now and it's an unfortunate fact of life that there are the rare a$$clowns out there that think they have the authority to tell everyone what to do and how to do it. I've been playing about 44 years now and I have only encountered 2. As a rule, anyone who plays golf is a gentleman or gentlewoman and the idea of the game is to play your best while being sociable with the others with whom you're playing. I've had some really enjoyable rounds playing with 3 other strangers on a local public course, and isn't that the idea? To enjoy one's self and the others with whom you're playing?
You, sir, are a true gentleman and a credit to the game. You handled a distasteful situation in a calm and gentlemanly manner and I would consider it an honor should I ever be paired with you for 18 holes. Best wishes and hit 'em well.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It would be my pleasure.
if the guy asked me was he out of line, I'd have said yes.
If he really had a problem with it, after his first comment he should have gone to a golf course employee rather than not only starting an argument but also turning to personal insults.
the guy was def out of line *and* yes a jerk
Thank you!
The thing about golf is, you run across a broad cross section of people on the course. I’m a retired LEO so I’m accustomed to all types of weirdos.😂
I can't imagine what you've seen. Thank you!!
It’s the way people are. I was taking a few practice swings on the side of the first tee. And had a ranger coming running at me saying only place I can swing a club is during contact with a ball. I was like …wtf ?
It’s getting to the point where you can’t even swing , chip , or hit a ball anywhere
Wow, that sounds like the guy has a serious problem!
Had a course marshall be that jerk to me at one of the local muni's here. No groups 2 holes behind us and on 9, 13, and FREAKING 17, he comes up and tells us we need to pick up the pace and that were slowing the course down....with no groups 2 holes behind us the entire time.
When he came up on the middle of 17 I said "If I wanted to spend 75 bucks just to get bitched at, I woulda just paid the Hulu bill and not taken the trash out." Dude was gobsmacked that there was any pushback at all, and just left us alone to finish our last 1.5 holes of golf. Who does that?
It was like he got to the course and thought "Huh. Not enough insufferable jerks out here today. Lemme change that."
Wont play another stroke there.
Thank you for the support!
Golfers should have the awareness that practicing you short pitches and chips on a practice putting green is flat out unwelcome. Go to the practice facility for chips, short pitches and sand and leave the practice putting green to PUTTING ONLY.
It was a chipping green and a putting green. Management confirmed. Thank you for watching!
It was a chipping green and a putting green. Management confirmed. Thank you for watching!
Yep that guy is a jerk. Unfortunately there are jerks who play golf and you had the bad luck of meeting one. If you are ever confronted by him again, just say yes I'm fairly new to golf but let's go have a game for 10 bucks a hole. He will be outa there fast. You have loads of friends here who have your back. Keep up the great content and onward to 10k subs. Cheers !
Paul every so often there is a comment that really touches my heart and you did that. I try to be a good person and I hope that viewers appreciate and understand this is the real me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Glad the started intervened. Pretty sure the “gentleman” didn’t actually think about your game. Just a projection of his own narrow mind. I love short game practice too!
Thank you for the support!
Well i guess every golf club has such a "person".
At the club where i am hitting balls and play from time to time there also is such a guy with whom no one wants to have anything to do.
I think you handled this situation very well. I would have lost my temper when this guy said "you are new to golf".
That did upset me. Thank you so much!
There is always going to be that one guy............ enough said. You didn't take the bait. Good on you.
Thank you!
Every club has one just like him! What a shame, doesn't take much to figure out why he's a single.
Thank you so much!
Whoaaaa just saw this video blew up! Good stuff MSH
Thank you so much!
The best we can do is pray for him. The only person I get mad at while golfing is myself! And you're not supposed to do that. Most people leave their jerk self at home while golfing. This guy has bigger issues.
No doubt about it!
It was accepted practice to chip onto that green, since everyone did it. It was not his place to tell you, you couldn't chip there, period. If he dosen't like it, tough " you know what".
Thank you for the support!
Just came across your channel. If he's been playing for 60 years that would make him at least 70 years old (my age) and he just wanted to make you feel inferior while making himself feel superior. TOTAL FAIL. You handled it perfectly and I'm sure he knew you weren't new to the game if he saw you chipping before he proved his "jerkness". LOL! Some people are born jerks and unfortunately, there's no medication for that. BTW, just subscribed.
I appreciate you watching and subscribing. Your words are kind. I pride myself on always trying to do the right thing. Thank you so much Gary!
"This is how the fight got started". Man I have has a hand full of situations like that. I have been carrying pepper spray for just that reason. I remember an old guy that came up to a whole line of golfers on a med sized range. He threatened all of us because he went all the way down the range on the outside of the net and went through a hole in the netting to retrieve some balls. 200yds down the range he looked like he was outside the range and no-one gave it any thought. Who does that?!?!? He was straight up wrong for doing that. However, in his mind we should have all stopped what we were doing. He said nothing to anyone before going out there. Insane in the membrane. You did the right thing SH, and kudos to the starter.
That is insane! Some people are really messed up in the head. Thank you!
Makes me think of my sister in law who quit working as a teaching pro because of bad attitudes from players in a high tourist area.
Thank you!
Your mistake was thinking that you had to defend yourself against his tirade. You should have just ignored him and chipped your balls towards your towel, the new intended target. You already accommodated him by no longer chipping onto the practice green. Certain people in life desire to be kings and they want you to bow to them one way or another. Godspeed!
Thank you!
We have a couple of late teens/early twenty somethings on our course that have unfortunately gotten the idea that they need to take divots even when chipping from 10 feet off the green!!! What you were doing was fine unless it interfered with another player's round, but what these youngsters are doing deserves confrontation.
Agreed. Sounds like they were hitting flop shots there is no need to take a divot on a chip shot. Thank you!
This has been the only golf channel I’ve subscribed to in the last year because of its positive content, I guess nothing last forever 😂I’de rather see you review a Top Flight XL 🤷♂️⛳️
Thank you
Hopefully, tomorrow's follow-up is positive.
By the way, you handled yourself very nicely as well. You may get surprised and get an apology from this guy someday.
Thank you so much. I would welcome a conversation or even a little golf with him.
Dude was jealous of your skills. Misery loves company, and he wanted to drag you down in the mire of misery where he dwells. We all appreciate your videos, keep on truck’n brother.
Thank you for the support!
You are awesome in figuring out how not to deal with this Jerk thinking he owns the place.
If you have been doing your chipping for years at this course and nobody else had issues about it, I wouldn't worry about it. I hope you don't run into this guy again.
I know on my course we have a chipping green with a couple traps around it, and then up by the starting hole there is a putting only green, but both are clearly marked as such.
Good luck in your chipping. Thanks for the video and take care.
Thank you so much! I made a follow up video after talking to management. I hope you get a chance to watch. Thank you again!
Appreciate the video, lm a new subscriber and new golfer.
Thank you!
I'll never understand why businesses tolerate habitual problematic and belligerent patrons.
Exactly!!
@@mistahshorthitter That was my thought too. You need to get rid of golfers like that. You'll lose more business because of them than they'll ever generate for you.
I had an experience with one just a few weeks ago though it was kind of indirect. I was playing in a four ball and we had a golf society in front of us which were all four balls and a ladies society (Lord help us) in front of them. After the game I was sitting outside the clubhouse and two guys came by from the course; one of them was crying like a whipped pup because we hadn't let him play through. Because they were a two ball he thought it was a given they should go through. The fact is, if they did go through, where were they going when there was that mob in front of them? Also, we hadn't lost a hole; in fact we never lost half a hole as we were often waiting too. To make the guy seem even more ridiculous there was a two ball behind him. Why did they join up and make a four ball and go with the flow? Funniest thing of all was, even with the society and ladies in front of us, it ended up being just a four hour round.
Since then I've learned he's been playing there since the Old King died and is out every Friday morning so, naturally, he owns the course on a Friday! 🙄 I wanted to pull him up as he went by whining but in the end I just let it go. However, next time he's behind me you can be damned sure I'll be lining up my putts from all four points of the compass! 😁
It makes total sense that they should have joined the two ball instead of trying to play through an entire course. Amazing!
@@mistahshorthitter Okay, this is kinda funny. Yesterday he and his cronies were in front of me. They lost a ball on the 9th and actually invited us to play through! Having said that, not only had they lost a ball, they had also lost a complete hole or more, so credit where credit is due, he did step aside when etiquette required it. I have a forgiving heart so I made sure we scooted along and didn't hold him up at all. ☺
The man was rude. Something I value highly in the game is courtesy. He has no class. You do.
Thank you so much!
