I call this a "rookie" error. It happens every now and then (especially if both of you are in that area), but if a pair does this every hole, its a long day! Like you said, its all about communication and awareness.

One thing that can frustrate me is when my ball is past a "no carts sign".  In those instances I often take my cart partner to thier ball then grab my weapons and and walk the remainder of the hole.  I tell my cart partner "I'll walk from here".   Then after I play my ball I look back and they walked away from the cart leaving it far from the green.  Then one of us needs to walk back to get it.  Maybe I need to be a little better in comunicating, but it seems when  I say "I'll walk from here" they should know they need to pull the cart up after making thiere shot.

I don't know why, but that made me laugh. Thanks for the morning chuckle.

He must be referring to his weapons of "Grass Destruction"! 🤣

3) Searching for balls.  If a player hits a wayward shot then you need to judge the best way to proceed.  There are variables but consider.  You may drop one player at their ball then the other quickly drives over to the area to help search.  You may even want both players in the cart to make their shots before joining the search.  What you want to avoid is all in the group searching for the ball while there are 3 playable balls just sitting there waiting.  Carts move quickly, you can hit your ball then get to the search area pretty fast in most cases.

Thanks ruptured thing in my calf, I am no longer able to walk. however a good majority of those I play with still do.
After we tee off, If I have a good line on my ball, I will zip over to find another players who may have difficulty finding theirs.
I should mention that I tend to be the longest in my group so rather than sitting behind them and slowly rolling up the fairway behind them like a stalker, I try to keep things moving. 

I usually toss my cap on top of their ball. I am considering starting to bring little mini flags to mark balls.
Once everyone hits, I roll up to mine, hop out and duff my second shot a few feet, and then move on!

Amusingly perhaps, I walk and I've thought about getting a few mini flags for my bag for this purpose.  I tend to walk faster than my typical group and I typically hit past them, so being able to do this would be nice.

    • It's not. 🤣 It's over 90 seconds into a 5-minute video before they say anything about physics, and when they do, they talk about mastering the double pendulum with a definition that includes gravity or something. Here, @GreenhornGolfer and others: https://amzn.to/3IHnf0N. Buy that.
    • Barring a disaster, this will be Scheffler's fourth major and only missing the US Open for a career slam.
    • Have slowly been working on hooding my long irons less. Using a much more neutral grip and a feel of swinging above the waist. This was the 2nd swing today. A clean clip with a 4-iron with what seems like an okay centered pivot and decent balanced finish.
    • Nobody is getting close and Scottie is not letting them. BDC could've had a shot without that awful Thursday. He shot 16 under on the last three days.
