I've got a good one too. My "home" course is actually 2 executive courses side by side. One a little longer than the other. I went to play the longer but a school tournament was going on so I played the shorter of the two.

1st hole is a 120yd par 3. I have to wait literally 5 minutes while a guy and his girlfriend/wife (who i could tell was learning the game) took forever to putt out. Finishing the last of their putts with a smooch before putting the flag stick back in.
Now I wasn't annoyed at this point because I wasn't behind them when they started the hole so it was possible they didn't realize I was there. However, after their little make out session they did notice I was there and proceeded to the next hole.
Now I'm not a good player. I had no one behind me either so I hit 3 balls off the tee and played all three (putting each one out). So imagine my surprise when I get to the second tee and the couple is still teeing off !!!!! This continued for 3 more holes. Not once did the guy offer to let me play through.
So there was a part of the course where I could skip them and play the next 3 holes then come back and play the hole I skipped and move on. Well imagine my disgust when I got through two of those holes only to get stuck behind 2 more walkers who were sharing a bag!!!! I was beyond agitated at this point. Looking all over the place for a ranger but none to be found.
Well I was able to play those 3 holes and go back and play the one hole that I skipped due to the couple in the time it took them to play the one hole I skipped.
Luckily I was able to get passed the two groups going this route and finish the last 10 holes in just over an hour.

My home course has no marshalls because they rely on peer pressure. A rule is posted that you must yield to anybody who requests to play through.

Don't all courses follow this policy ?
