There is a debate ongoing at our club whether it is etiquette for someone to pull out a watch and time somebody looking for their ball.
I was pretty much on the fence with this but recently I have been involved in a game or 2 and 1 or 2 words have been said when someone has said "I think the 3 mins is up lets move on", and it has not gone down too well.
I love golf and play it in a relaxed environment but I have to say I am thinking about taking a watch out on every round and timing looking for lost balls including my own.
If I was playing with you and I timed you looking for your ball, would you think I was a bit of a you know what, or do you think it is acceptable? (Does it depend if I am your mate or someone you have just met?)
