Today i have a round of golf and got stuck behind a 4 ball that were so slow it was painful. One of the guys in front seriously took his practice swing and then stood over the ball and did not move, i timed him and he stood there between 24 second and 32 second as if somebody had pointed the dvd remote at him and paused him... Seriously do you know how long 24 seconds is when your standing at the tee it seems like an age. By the 14th hole we were all so annoyed one of the boys was going to ask them to hurry up as they would let us through. can you tell people to hurry up????

So we've had "flop shoot" and "tee shoot". I really don't wanna be picky but shot only has 1 'o'

Ah hang on, I think you've found the answer. He is shooting them out of a cannon :one:

Start shooting through me and there would be words exchanged. Do it twice and the ball may be coming back

Never mind twice, once and I could guarantee it wouldn't happen again. Without doubt THE most idiotic thing anyone could do on a golf course.

Patience or not drive through me risking my health and you'd need a surgeon to remove your driver from your backside!

Could use your Tag Heuer to time the removal process then to

Mind you suppose with your 395yards you were waiting for the green to clear!

Has markgs committed some crime or something?

This is the third thread I've come across tonight where the poor guy is getting a load of stick!

No problem at all with having a simple word the way you have described it sounds like you were actually standing on the tee while they drove off.

However driving through a group in front is not only illegal but idiotic, if you had done that to me... well you wouldnt be typing put it that way.

Have some common sense young man, if your brave enough to drive the ball over people have the love spuds to talk to them on the tee and ask to be let through.

Quite a few threads end up going this way due to the fact that some one dares to have an opinion.

He's left himself open to being the flavour of the night. He'll be awright. There will be another flavour tomorrow and it'll be markgs who ?
