Let's real 'er back in.
Don't agree with this as it's not my experience, unless of course you "a general you not a specific you" is the d**k.
unless the d**k is yourself.

I disagree. Ive met many great people and players on the course and I can count on one hand the jerks Ive had to play with. Sure there are some quirky golfers out there but they probably think the same about me. I think a lot people (not saying you are) are "put off" or offended too quickly these days which could play into this as well.Wherever you play you will always end up with a d**k in your group

Sorry to hear thst, Tim. Its almost like people want to be jerks..So I am playing at my home course yesterday and I am standing on 9 green putting out...and I see a foursome head to the first tee....just as I start to walk back to my cart they turn around and head back towards the club house.
I drive up to the club house and they tell me...."hey we are gonna tee off on 10, you can play through in a minute"....now I was a single and playing fast....front nine in an hour and 5 minutes....I said....No you aren't I will be in the out is 2 seconds and be out of your way before you guys get losened up...and I head into the clubhouse to grab a water....I hear one guy call me an A$$hole.....I come out and I looked right at him and said....Did you say something to me?....he said "no"....I got it the cart and headed off.
I really wish our course had a starter....that way stuff like that doesn't happen.
me and my friend were playing Saturday, we play pretty fast. twosome in front of us joins up with another twosome, all pretty bad, shanking drives, taking 10 shots a hole. not to mention the 14 yr old walking down the course chasing his ball swinging the club back n forth. anywho, get to the turn and hear one guy ask another if they should us pass, guy looks at other guy and says no, cause the people in front of them had just teed off. start the back nine n waited on every tee box for 15-20 mins for them to get out of our driving distance. last hole none of them finished out they picked up before the green and left.
If I am in a 4 some and the course is just stacked with 4 somes all the way in front of us (happens all the time) I wouldnt let a twosome play through. Is this poor etiquette? As long as you are keeping up to the group in front of you I dont see the problem.
My thought exactly! I always have a round with no pressure and hate when I play with anyone who hurries.It's my time to relax and enjoy.If the course is packed,keep pace with everyone and just enjoy!I never understand the people that race up to the tee box every time when it is clearly packed. Just slow down and enjoy your round you aren't going anywhere.
So today I'm at the course practicing my chipping and putting on the practice green that is adjacent to the end of the ninth fairway. A guy hits an arrant shot and it lands two feet off the practice green beside where I am practicing. He pulls up to the practice green in his cart and proceeds to pull out his wedge and hit his shot, digging a huge divot and shoveling a mound of dirt onto the practice green. At this point i'm waiting for him to brush away the dirt on the practice green, but since he had not the slightest bit of etiquette. He walks back to the cart and is getting ready to pull off when I finally spoke up and asked him he he could please sweep away the mounds of dirt he left on the practice green. He looks at me and says what are you some kind of A-hole? I told him no but you obviously dont care about anyone else on this course. He became infuriated, grabbed an iron out of his bag and charged at me cursing me like he was gonna hit me. I just stood there waiting for him to take that swing. He then bent down and startedbrushing away the dirt screaming curse words in front of me, my wife, my daughter and 7 other spectators. He finally pulled away and flipped me off for good measure. Little does he know that one of my good friends is the head pro at that course. I made one call after the incident and his membership was revoked immediately.
Just shows how much golf has changed and lost its traditions and how people today have no morals anymore.

I'm with you 100%. What gets me more than anything is people neglecting to call out FORE when they hit an errant shot. I understand it can be embarrassing to have to yell out announcing to the whole course that you just hit a bad shot, but a flying golf ball can really inflict some pain and possibly an injury. Just this past weekend, while i was playing in a sat morning league, a person in the group behind mine completely flew the green and came within inches of hitting one of my playing partners. The ball then proceeded to hit the cart path, dart forward and almost take my head off!!! My whole group looked back and the guilty party was just standing there with club in hand just looking stupid. Not even a word of warning from him and of course no apology.
Playing with Wake a month or two ago I got hit twice in the same round without a fore yelled anywhere. One was in our 4 some that was just clueless, and the other I don't even remember how it happened. It was a crazy round.
Sometimes "Fore!" is in the eye of the beholder. If I hit a shot that curving towards you, but obviously going to fall well behind you, I'm not going to yell "Fore!" A person might be surprised by the ball landing close, but if I can see there's no danger, I'm just going to let it fall. Obviously, if I'm in doubt, I'm going to yell "Fore!"
