For the first time in ages, I got hit into this evening. My brother and law were walking playing this evening when a single "speed golfer" caught up to us on the 5th. hole. We tee'd off on 6 and waited and let the guy play thru.
The guy as it turns out was pretty slow and after we let him through, we found ourselves waiting for him to finish the hole and waited again on him when we reached the next tee. Onece we able to go on the next hole, we then waited in the middle of the fairway for him to clear the green. By this time, two young players on cart caught up to us.
When we reached the next tee, again we waited on the single. After teeing off we both walked to the middle of the fairway, 250/260 yards out and were forced to wait on the single again. While we waited the young guy. with a girl in tow, arrived at the tee. He could clearly see us, but for whatever reason, went ahead and tee'd off. His ball flew at least 260 and missed me by less than 5 feet.
I simply walked up to his ball and put it in my pocket. Once we finished, we were in the clubhouse having a drink when they came in to pay for the cart. I've seen the kid and I'm guessing he had no idea it was me as I often work at the course. I just walked up to him, handed him the ball and told him not to do it again. He of course said, "you should have let me through, I waited on every shot". I let him know we had a single in front of us and were waiting oursleves. He said he had no idea. I just told him to be more careful in the future.
I just don't get the 16 year old kids now days. Here was me and my brother in law, 50 and 53 years old walking, and the 16 year old playing speed golf on a cart. He should learn to walk and enjoy himself!
