Me and my friend were on the 18th about 175 out, the guys were off the green and in their cart sitting beside the green about 50 feet off of it. My friend shot but somehow hit the guy in the back.. while he was inside the cart! He got so angry, he got out of the cart and started running down the fairway.

How long had they been sitting there after putting? I did the same thing last year. These clowns got done putting and then sat in their cart right next to the green writing down there scores and who knows what else.

I watched them finish putting and then walked back down to my blind shot to the green. I then waited for I thought was ample time for them to drive away. I fired a shot over the hill and heard a loud “bang”! Fortunately, I hit their cart and not them. I apologized, but was thinking in the back of my mind, “ move away from the freaking green after you’re done you pair of idiots”.

Hopefully you chewed him out for ruining a well hit 4 iron. Actually, I’m surprised more course workers don’t get hit. They seem to forget there are golfers hitting golf balls all over the place. They have their iTunes on and hardly ever look up.

Well, they've got safari hats on over here. Back in September, a maintenance guy was standing right near the pin, saw me ready to hit, and continued what he was doing. I waited a minute or so, thinking he was just finishing something. I ended up hitting to the other side of the green. This was probably not the brightest thing, but I couldn't really go for the pin without risking hitting him.

if they know it's a blind shot- and they should, since they just played the hole - and stick around, it should be their own fault if they get hit.

    • So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.
    • I just got my shotscope v5 watch and used it yesterday. Its fairly accurate at the course I was playing so I did not use my rangefinder at all. I was able to calculate what club i needed from that.

    • Why?  You would never be waiting on me.  I am one of the fastest players you will ever run into on the golf course.  I am extremely fit and almost always the first to the green and the first to the next tee box.  When I play with my 16 year old step son who is a 3 handicap, he tells me to slow down.  Also,  what does it take me?  40 seconds round trip to walk off 30 yards?  (which is the max I walk off)  I like to have a look at the break around the hole which helps me to hole out chips which I did for birdie from 27 yards just the other day.  I also do this while waiting on my playing partners to catch up to me so you need not worry about being irritated, I can pretty much guarantee you that you could not keep up with me on the golf course.  🙂
