How would you have honestly reacted to this situation?
4BBB knockout against two cat 1's that didn't say much, plus it took us weeks to arrange the game under their terms only, they had already demanded to change the course (against the rules), but we managed to get them to change back.
Anyway, it was pleasant enough during the round and any chat we tried to instigate was met with short replies.
So we are 2 up with 4 to play, my partner and 1 opponent is out the hole. I'm on in 2 about 12 feet away, opponent is off the green in 2 about 18 feet and wants to putt the ball. There is a sprinkler head between his ball and his intended line about 5 feet away. He wants relief. I said relief is only given if it interferes with his swing or stance, he then stretches his left leg out to stand on the sprinkler head and said "do I get relief now?" Bearing in mind his foot is now blocking his intended line now I ignored that point and stated politely that this was not his normal stance.
He picks up his ball, said "that's it" held out his hand for a token shake and him and his partner walked off and started walking in without a further word! My buddy asked whats the rules on us playing in as we'd never played the course before? "Do what you want" was the reply as they kept walking.
