Yes. Common golf etiquette is that slower players let others play through. It is also usual to limit groups to four, not five players. But, age of entitlement strikes again.
Lots of Napalm?
If they tell you to go - don’t argue.
Take your business elsewhere. You don’t need rude treatment.
They’re within their rights to refuse to serve you but it works both ways.
Speak up and let others know how you were dealt with and move on.
Imagine if they were all relative novices.
Zzzzzz...
Personally, I would have taken the refund and gone to a different course.
But I grew up in Queens, NY and the only courses were publicly owned and this would not have happened but we had to wait 2 hours to play a 6 hour round.
And the sand traps - would they turn into glass?
Ah yes. The old ‘Scorched Earth’ method.
Sure does remove all the gophers and crabgrass.
“We’ve had phone calls of people just screaming at us,” Beeler said. “They won’t even pause to let us explain that we’re not the one, that they called the wrong place.”
That is the nature of all Liberals.
Let me guess. If the group behind them had asked if they could play through, that would have been racist too.
I suspect a setup.
So I guess Starbuck's is on the right side of the law, too? Still look at the bad publicity and hysterics in the media. It may cost them some, but too many people love them.
Thanks for citing the rules, don't know if they apply in every state now or what.
Were they playing as a fivesome? If so and playing slow they should either speed up or leave. Nothing worse than waiting 30 mins between holes.
Correct.. there is nothing more annoying than a slow group ahead, who then slows down the entire golf course. Think about a car driving 40 Mph on a 55 mph limit 2-lane highway.
All them golf courses look the same.
Shoulda just turned on the sprinkler system.
A group playing too slowly should WAVE THROUGH the following group. it is also extremely inpolite and in many cases (depending on the golf club’s rules) illegal to have FIVE players in a group. A FOURSOME is normal.
“If the group behind them had asked if they could play through, that would have been racist too.”
I can see that playing out...
“Pardon me ladies. Mind if we play thru?”
From the picture above your comment, the “ladies” part would’ve been the first mistake.
RE your photo: The one on the right...hard to read...does her cap say “Entitled”?
;~]
I'm always suspicious when one of the complainants makes a claim like this.
As though they had drone footage to prove it.
(Of course, they know that it's practically unfalsifiable.)
