So I was playing the other day and we came up on a 330yd par 4. My teammates had no concern about driving the hole as they typically hit about 270. I stepped up and thought, with the way I am swinging today there is not a chance I'll drive the green.
I laid into the ball and carried 305 to the front of the green and rolled to the right side. Once we realized how well I hit it we all started yelling "fore" so they would hopefully hear us.
The group in front of us was putting and they obviously where less than happy. They threw my ball in the rough behind the green and made it clear to me they felt I hit into them on purpose. (which I didnt) they even said I could have killed them and need to be more careful.
I truly didn't expect to hit the green or anywhere near it.
So my question is, should I just wait from now on? Obviously my playing partners from that day will understand but when playing with someone else they will have raised expectations if I wait. It's almost like calling your shot. If I don't drive it then I look like an ass.
And then they threw my ball off the green... What about that part.
