Teeing off the first hole. Partner hits a shot that veers left into an area between the first hole and the hole adjacent who's direction is opposite ours. There is a small hill. The ball bounced and rolled just as a cart was coming over the hill. By the time we could even react the ball was at rest. I said to my buddy. That was ridiculous timing. As we drove over to the area we were excoriated by the person in the cart. I apologized and said we barely had time to.....He cut me off and said, "You need to say F-ing fore!!" At this point I lost my temper and said, "I already apologized and was trying to explain what happened. What the F else do you want?" The ball was rolling by the time his cart got near it so there was less than zero chance it would hurt anyone. Either way I always yell fore but there was no time. Are we in the wrong? Should have we even yelled fore after the fact?
I rarely if ever swear and can't remember the last time I was angry about anything but I was at the end of my rope after dealing with a very grumpy starter who looked like he was ready for hospice . He was mad at us because we weren't moving to the first tee. Every course I have ever played at the starter tells you when to go to the first hole, you definitely don't just do it yourself. We were sitting there waiting our turn and he said, "You boys have some sort of disability that you are holding up everyone before you even tee off."
Isn't golf supposed to be relaxing entertainment? WTF....
I'd like to think country club life is better but my parents were members to a club for 20 years and there is a whole host of stupid issues that rich people complain about I wouldn't want to be apart of.
