I was approaching a tee box today, and noticed a young guy nearby. His ball was sitting in the rough next to a water hazard which had knee-high weeds surrounding it. I noticed he was carrying an empty beer can. As he set his bag down, he casually tossed his beer can into the weeds. I was livid. He hit his shot and walked up to the green. I went over to where he hit from and fished the can out with my wedge. I then walked over to the green where he and his buddies were preparing to putt. I walked up, handed him the can and said, "Hey bro, there's a trash can on the next tee box." He turned bright red and muttered, "Thanks." I walked away shaking my head. The utter disregard for the property and the game just baffled me.

Very classy way of pointing out his error. Some people would have cussed, been very aggressive, and maybe gotten physical. That doesn't fix anything.

I hope this guy learned something and respects the course the next time.

I have to agree completely.
There is a person that plays at my home course who eats sunflower seeds while playing and spits the hulls on the greens.
If you are behind him, you have to clear them away before putting.
I don't know who he is, but if I ever see him do it, you can bet I'll let him know what an a** he is( in a polite way of course).

I've narrowed the seed spitter at my course to one of two guys. They are both marshalls and should know better. I'll figure out which one it is this week and ask him to stop. Actually, it could be one other guy, the guy that sets the pins. If it's him, I'll spend the next 3 months learning enough Spanish to cuss him out properly.

i've never understood why people get worked up over stuff like this. someone left a can of some energy drink in the rough last week. i just picked it up and threw it away myself. it would have required more energy to run to the guy ahead of me and tell him where the next garbage can is.

Still, I have to give you props for not being a jerk about it.

The point of confronting the guy is to hopefully prevent future occurances of littering while he is on the golf course.

You don't understand why people get worked up when they see someone litter? Wow.

i never said that I think littering is okay or that it is right. i've just never understood what is so hard about picking it up for the other person. if it pisses you off, then go tell the person to pick it up. but, for me, it is much easier just to take care of it myself.

people do things that are wrong all the time that have an affect on us. i've decided that I'll try to improve things when i can (like picking up other people's trash) and doing my best to not make the problem worse. if you want to run around and be the trash police, by all means, don't stop.
