Two Kids Are Walking Their Bikes Across the Green: What do You do?


Recommended Posts

I mean it's trespassing in most cases. Would let the pro-shop know if I am that concerned and wait for them to clear out. I doubt there's a whole lot to say. If they are within earshot, then maybe I would be inclined to wave with a smile and say 'heads up'. If somehow a screaming dad appears then let's just say a screaming dad on a golf course is no different than a screaming dad off the course. De-escalation always the first choice. Hopefully it doesn't go the other way.

To add to my take. As a golfer on a course, you are not the owner of the course, even if it I a private course. Just call the clubhouse. Why escalate it. Just say, "Hey these two girls came from this house off hole X, and are walking on the course and interrupting play." Done, you are slightly inconvenienced, ok. No need to escalate things. It isn't your responsibility to police the course.

I'm with you, man. No need to make a federal case out of it. They're kids. Kids make mistakes. 

 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

    • Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.
    • Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.
    • You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.
    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
