Hey guys.
This weekend I was out with my wife playing a social round. The hole is a dog leg to the right, about 400 meters (which for you Americans is about 440ish yards). Perfect 250 meter drive, up to the top of the corner.
Watched someone on the next hole as my wife hit, chunk a low slice that rolled down our fairway, probably 20 yards from my ball.
I watched the group in front come over to our fairway, check both balls, point out where his was, then walk back and pick mine up. We're not out of sight, clearly coming up the fairway to both our balls. Mines clearly clearly marked with a massive green line all the way around for putting alignment as well as other marks.
After approaching they initially looked confused about what I was asking, and then said oh were you playing a titleist Pro V1x too, pulled out my ball and handed it back. I asked if his was marked similar but the guy just walked off.
Has anyone else had this happen and how did you deal with it?
To say I was annoyed was an understatement. Firstly that they picked up a ball with a group on a fairway that were yet to reach it, secondly that they appeared to try and hide that they were talking an expensive ball just because it was there.
Probably over reacting but just interested to see how often people have this happen, actually whitnessing someone essentially stealing another persons ball very obviously in play.
Cheers as always guys, Met.
