An incident from last week that has been the focus of some debate among my colleagues.
My wife and I were playing at our local public course on very busy day, with slow groups all around.
After teeing off on the first hole my wife was waiting for the green to clear when a tee shot from the group behind landed maybe 3m or 4m behind her. She shouted at the group.
The same thing happened on the second, and on the third they hit over her and just behind me (5m or so).
With my PW ready for my next shot, and being less than entirely diplomatic, I hit their ball back to them. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there was a less than contrite reaction and a complaint made to the course manager (rejected, but probably only because they know us better than the complainants).
So, was I out of order (I am actually feeling a bit guilty for overreacting), or would you do the same thing?
