Re: Etiquette

Jamesh,

The answer is a simple one but effective.

CONFRONT them, wait until they get to their balls and ask why they teed off before you were at a safe distance............ask if they think you are playing to slowly and let them through.

If they are what I call rush to the pub golfers that don't wait for each other to play,(just get to the ball and hit it) then you are best just letting them through because they just come out Sunday morning rush round and straight into the bar.

Always confront them................or your day can be ruined.


Ian.

P.S It's always a good idea to ask if they are insured, then let them know you would have claimed if the ball had hit you.
