"Say Fred, hear the one about the Jew, the Catholic and the colored women who go golfing..."

@hondo,

This is a real redneck dipshit section of the state. Think booths at the county fair selling Confederate flag t-shirts and bikinis. Shit, think county fairs. There's a better than good chance these people saw an increase in business from this stunt.

 

I play as a single 90-percent of the time since I usually just run to the course after work to try and squeeze in nine. It's been my experience that both genders play slow.

Groups of women play slow because they don't hit the ball as far so it takes them longer. Not their fault.

Men play slower because they watch too much TV. Plum bobbing, and crouching down looking at the line and practice stroke and practice stroke and.... taking 10 minutes on a green to line up their four-putt.

Neither group lets faster groups - or seething singles who have been crawling up their rectums for the last five holes - play through.

 

The whole "let faster players/groups through" etiquette ... when did that get abandoned?

 

Just another example of society becoming less polite and respectful. I started out playing 22 years ago by buying a set of clubs and developing a swing from observation. I didn't have the cash or time for golf lessons. I'd play nine at the nearby muni at times when I knew it wouldn't be crowded so as to not have my shitty play slow up others. Even then I still looked like a third base coach waiving groups behind me through. And back then if you had a good single player behind you groups let them through to not have them up your ass all afternoon.

Now? No one cares.

 

It was never embraced by the "hey, we're playing PGA Tour out here, so we're looking for lost balls for five minutes" bunch.

There's one course where I used to play a lot. No. 4, short par 4, you either hit it to about 210 and have a 8/9 iron in, or you carry about 260 over a waste area and you have 15-20 yard pitch into the green (or perhaps drive the green, though that took about 310 with a roll. Worst hole on the course because every other asshole though they could carry 260. Every other asshole could not. So not only would they wait until the group in front had reached the green, some would wait until the group in front had cleared the green, and then, a few minutes later, there they'd be, down in the waste area. (Which, though not a hazard, was so overgrown and yucky that you really couldn't play out of it.)

What a hole.

 

FTFY

 

You shouldn't be in the golf biz if you can't do something about slow play without the police. When you run into a starter on the first tee that gives you a lecture that says, in essence, 'We don't have a slow-play problem here, so don't you be the ones starting it,' you can almost always guarantee a pace that makes the day a miserable experience.

 

5 Black Women Were Told to Golf Faster. Then the Club Called the Police.

 

You guys should beg to play behind me. I don't know if anyone plays faster than me, apart from maybe Happy Gilmore. You will also learn some fun new words.

 

You and I should pair up. Bet we could finish 18 in under three hours.
