At last, a voice of reason.

Well said ruleplayer.

Think some missing the point of the OP, if your not saying good shot to anyone in the group grand , but i know if someone joined up with us we wouldnt be being encouraging to each other & excluding the other player , it would be rude & not nice ,


maybe its the fact i wouldnt be rude to someone like this is why i find it rude .. , its nice to be friendly and it ìmproves the mood in the group

Who on here would let someone join them , compliment each other but ignore the visitor /guest ??

And your reasons for ignoring or not ignoring them please ?

What if you say good shot and they get upset because they didn't think it was a good shot?

I understood from the op that they were perfectly friendly apart from not saying good shot. IF they had just ignored him completely, then yes very rude.

That's exactly how I read it too

Can't ask for anymore really from strangers in a round

Yea he did mention somewhere in the thread that other than that they were ok company , quite possibly they were in awe & maybe a bit nervous of his ability ,

Guess its just me

How about saying 'Wow! That looked great to me. Are you happy with it?' Then you'd get to know the standard they apply to themselves and can adapt comments accordingly.

Got a mate who plays off 4. Great ball striker, but struggles on the greens otherwise he'd be lower. A really nice guy but I learned some time ago not to acknowledge what I think is a good shot because, being such a perfectionist, invariably for him it isn't. And the withering look and abrupt response tells me he's less than impressed that I think his 280 yard gentle draw into the middle of the fairway is impressive, because he's wazzed off that he's not hit it 285.

If these guys were otherwise good company I can't see the problem. Seriously.

I think I'd be more hacked off with a low handicapper who refused to accept a compliment than wassocks who watch a career best shot and dont comment!

I tell you what i find rude when i "deliberately" hit a bad shot to make the pp feel better and they try and give you tips

How about asking him if he'd like his shoes and clubs cleaned while you give him a good tonguing
