Ruling please!

What would you suggest the player in front does? Walk down the fairway for a word? Wait until after the round and speak to them then? Phone the club and complain?

Yes - speak to them. Inform the club - all better ways than what i have seen suggested on here numerous times including hitting the ball back at them etc.

Done the writing a 4 letter word on the ball before. The guy now has it on his sideboard.

In my experience, speaking to these morons has very little effect, as they are never in the wrong you see.

Then its up to the club to deal with them.

What would you expect the club to do if they are visitors?

Ensure they are never allowed to play the course again - what else can you do ? Hand out punishment yourself ?

You may have another 6 or 7 more holes to suffer from getting playing up on.

If you ban them from the course will it stop them doing it again? Don't think they will care much, do you?

I suggest lying on the green unconscious , then claim / sue
him for ten grand.

Again what more can you do ? What sort of punishment would you like to hand out to them ?

 

[Farneyman]

What sort of punishment would you like to hand out to them ?

What sort of ridiculous question is that? Where have I mentioned any form of punishment? I am only asking you some questions, am I not?

And i just asked what else can you do apart from approaching them and asking them to not hit the balls towards you ? Beyond speaking to them and then inform any marshall and then the club what else can we do ?

That's a great idea. I hope I'm out in front of you on the 18th :clap:

You'll be quite safe on the green ha ha.

I have been known to stamp as hard as I can on a repeat offenders ball, sinking it quite some way into the fairway, then watch them try and dig it out with a wedge! Numpties. :thup:

Nice big hole in the fairway after that then.

Free drop might be better option tho

Have a feeling he meant he would have to dig it out of the fairway with a wedge to get the ball out of a hole

Quiet possible Phil , to be honest that never occurred to me , Ta

18th at an old course had/has potential for a bit of danger at times - from a sliced drive off the first. Having got a particularly negative reaction from a pair of members who didn't yell for 1 that landed a yard away from me, I've taken the 'act unconscious' option to give the next guy an appropriate message!

If it's the group following, I normally tee the first one that comes through us up. That normally stops in a semi-amusing way. It depends on the reaction to that what I do with subsequent ones.

put his ball in the hole, make him buy a round ;-)

Many a post, but none actually answering the original question of "what's the ruling". The score stands.
