Had probably the most ludicrous example of of someone saying this today.
Ahead of me is a 3 ball, one decent golfer and two relative beginners. Ahead of them is a single and then a mixed four ball. All groups playing ready golf and not dawdling.
I finish hole 1 as the 3ball ahead tees off and as they walk down one persons asks another if they should let me thorough, none hit the green and even on this par 3 course one is still over 100 yards from the hole on a 110 yarder!
The response he was given, after a quick look at the next hole, with the single and 4 ball on, was “There is nowhere to go”. I was baffled as I could see the 4 ball letting the single through, which was the only delay to their game!
They didn’t let me through on the next hole as the 4 ball was still on the tee, well of course they are as they let the single through! I overheard the guy again saying “see, nowhere to go”. They have no idea I can clearly hear them.
They of course were just done teeing off when I finished the hole, I was level par and generally playing well. They apologies for not letting me through and again said I had nowhere to go. Well I pointed out the whole situation and why it appeared slow was because the other single was being let thorough! Doing so hadn’t delayed anyone’s game, which I pointed out and thankfully they let me through.
I then caught the four all who let me through after they had all teed off (which is the correct way to do it in most circumstances) and everyone’s momentum was kept.
Even on a short 9 hole course it helps everyone to let faster groups through and to tee off and then let a single through as this is usually the most time efficient.
