When I play at Dunbar Ken I shall walk my trolley across the green and tell them Ken told me it was ok 😉
What TWO things really wind you up on your course?

Today it took us 3 hours to play a 2 man Texas scramble, could've been 2.45 hrs .But we had a 32 year old with us, 2x65 year olds and me @ 72 .
Us 3 oldies nearly fell asleep a few times waiting for our young friend..
Does take quite sometime to get up 16th though so that’s probably where the extra 15 mins came in. Plus dodging the boys fishing on the 3rd ...

Not many fishing since the neds pelted them with Buckie bottles and stole all their gear , then the swans chased the neds.
BTW we had a few low h/c guys leave Ricarton to rejoin Bellshill, they don't mind the 16th

But if I'm standing waiting on the group in front to clear the green, what is the point? By the time they walk up to their balls my group will not have even lined up their putts (assuming I actually hit the green and don't shank the wedge shot).
Golf etiquette isn't exactly my strong point but when I played when I was younger I was always told not to tee off on a par 4 until the group in front had played their approach shots and were walking towards the green.
Sometimes. If I'm playing in a comp though with guys that are low single figure handicappers that want a little time to read a putt then 3hr30 or even 3hr45 should be acceptable still imho.

1. Blobbing a hole where I get two shots (on any course).
2. Slow play. This week, we kept getting stuck on the tee behind two guys who always waited for the green to clear before playing their second shots, even though it was obvious from what we had seen that their second shots would have little hope of getting within 100 yards of the green.

1.Not being let through by seniors because there are three four balls in front... we will be out your way in no time.
2. Forgetting which days the seniors are out and having to wait behind seniors because there are three four balls in front so is pointless letting you through.

Springveldt makes a valid point. If I am about to play that approach shot, how am I supposed to know that the ball landing behind me (30+yards) has been calculated to land exactly there, and could not possibly be one that might have struck me ( if hit fully)?
Apart from the fact, already pointed out, that the sound of it arriving would put you off your strike. Which is a gross lack of good manners.
Springveldt's last sentence of his first paragraph is irrefutable etiquette .

Honours (when not in matchplay) just hit the dam ball and pitch marks. Not so much the people who leave them but more so those who walk past with the “ it’s not mine “ attitude.

The reluctance of some members to accept that we need to think out some trees. Too many in spaces that are confined.
Probably the same people who are responsible for unrepaired pitchmarks; the other thing that really winds me up.

The point is that people will be behind them and more than likely people behind them and so on. If you are 30 yards outside my (or the group behinds) Sunday best drive then they're entitled to and (imo) should be tee-ing off to keep the course moving.
Others may disagree.

I agree. If there further than Sunday best. Bombs away!

Our 16th , it seems to be getting steeper every week.
Slow play, hurry up FFS guys, then i might just squeeze in a few more rounds before its time to pop my socks

It’s a hike right enough

1. It's an out and back layout, so tricky to play a 'quick 9' unless you can cut in.
2. Number of areas with totally unkempt grass that is thick and matted. Basically a ball goes in and is pretty much lost, unless you stand on it. But you still need to spend time looking for it.
I'm not advocating it to be cut down to primary rough, but just run a machine through it once or twice a year so you have the chance to at least find your ball.
