I tried to apologise.....

Then you would have been just as wrong as Leaney was.

If someone in these circumstances said a flat no to me playing through then that would not be the end of the conversation. I would continue the discussion as civilly as possible until the outcome was the correct one and the person changed their mind. And I can assure you that they would change their mind.

Then play through and still go and have a word with the club manager or secretary about their behaviour.

Just barging through has got nothing whatsoever to do with common courtesy and however you choose to dress it up, it is out of order and not acceptable behaviour on a golf course.

Point taken Snelly.
But I'd still do it

I'd be more inclined to just walk past and start the next hole.. I'm not a good one for confrontations face to face..especially not with a driver in my hands

I don't really care if Leaney tried to apologise or not. As long as he realises that he didn't do the right thing. Seems he's man enough to back down to pressure from fellow forumers, that's enough for me.

I don,t think it has been mentioned yet but the old saying two wrongs don,t make a right seems to be apt here. We have all come accross tossers on the golf course, slow play and not letting through is just one element of poor behaviour, and i am assuming most if not all on this forum appreciate the importance of etiquette (too many t's?). However, it doesn,t seem right that forcibly playing through resolves anything other than saving a little time on that one occassion. I consider that to be stooping the the level of those you are seeking to admonish - equally poor etiquette.

and then presumably wait for them to get in their car after the round and drive into the back of them
