Golf Etiquette

We had a beautiful day yesterday 70ish no wind clear blue skies. A perfect day for a round of golf with my teenage daughter. In the middle of the winter we don't get many days like this here in west Texas this time of year. We need to practice and stay in touch with our golf game through the off season and to get a break from basketball and all the pressure of having to play at a top ranked basketball school. It starts to wear on you mentally after a while. So a relaxing round of golf no score no expectations feel good about the good shots and laugh about the bad ones. That is what we needed and that is what we went out there for. But because it was a great day a lot of other people had the same idea. We play at a public course and on the nice days it is full and it is slow you just have to accept it and take your time and play in your slot and enjoy yourself  it is backed up one through eighteen. There is no point in playing through. Now you get those old men who think they can play and are in a hurry. Here is the problem in golf the course books to many and to close together and some people play fast and some play slow. And some have no respect or regard for others and they think if they start hitting on top of the group in front they will speed up. They are like ostriches with there heads in the sand they can't see the course is full and just take there time and enjoy playing the game and the day. No they are in a hurry they won't to ruin your day because the are stupid people who can't see the big picture and all they want to do is push push push these people need to find another sport and give up on golf they will never be any good at this game because they don't have the mental toughness and patience golf requires. Pool  Bowling anything but golf a game that requires patience patience patience. Anyway I had to get into some guys face and be belligerent to get it through his stupid head not to hit the ball until after we were off the green. I am amazed at how stupid some people can be this is a serious situation people are killer every year from getting hit in the head by a golf ball. WE were playing a Reese Golf Course and this is the first time I have had this problem there. But I will never play Shadow Hills because that is all there is over there Grumpy old men who think they can play golf. Try to have a little golf etiquette and be safe.
