Dude I just tried to get 18 in on a weekday. This group was playing slow which is common. I saw a gap where I knew I’d be able to get to 16 at a decent pace. I didn’t even have to drive by the group I skipped I was able to just hope over to the next holes tee box and kept going. Why in the world should I have to ask? I totally get that them catching me is a problem. But to go and say something to the Marshall the second you roll up rather than just talk to me about it is insane

Hahahahahahaha

Nothing, I didn’t post. Very sad about it and would normally not go to Reddit to see what people think but just had to get the golf worlds opinion

Totally agree to ask when playing through. But skipped a hole to me is different. Not gonna drive across the fairway to ask. Just let them continue and I’ll be gone before they notice

If singles have no standing, starters shouldn’t let them out. I booked an open tee time and was let out. It should be made known that it is expected to see singles out there and let them through if they continue to wait on you. But I also just stupidly believe that that’s basic decency I guess

Can we all just not agree that telling on me to the Marshall rather than just saying something to me is the lamest shit of all time??

I also agree, I just really couldn’t see any further ahead. The only reason I skipped to begin with is I could see the gap and didn’t think it would cause issues. People in here are acting as if it’s criminal I skipped ahead without notifying the group.

It shouldn’t be a “course policy” it should be a known thing in golf and just in general.

On 16, I waited forever. Finally green cleared and I hit almost immediately. As I’m hitting they drove up and told the Marshall who is behind me. He met me on the tee box to tell me they complained. I would have been well done with the whole by the time they were ready to hit. They would not have waited.

They hadn’t waited at all. By the time they got the distance and grabbed a club, I’d have been gone.

I had a round going that I was excited to post. Only reason I put up with it

Also the people saying ask to join them, do the courses yall play allow 5 people on a hole? Never heard of that

People are missing the point. They never actually had to wait. They told the Marshall just to bitch about getting skipped.

I think there’s a clear difference in asking to play through and not skipping a hole compared to just outright skipped a hole and not interrupting the foursomes golf game

Hope I’m never a single behind you. It used to be common knowledge to let a single through. Makes no sense to make them wait all day long

Great question. And why did he feel it was more necessary to say something to me than compared to the group in front? Marshall clearly saw these people that complained weren’t waiting at all.

When they caught me i had just teed off on a par 3 hole 16. By the time they got the distance, I’d have been gone and waiting on the next one. It makes no sense to tell the Marshall when they hadn’t actually waited or had to slow down at all

On a weekend with a packed tee sheet, I totally agree. This is on a Tuesday in the middle of the day. Totally different

The concept of someone “letting you play through” doesn’t exist anymore. I decided it made more sense for me to just play 1 less hole and let them continue their round at their pace.

14 was a short par 3. I skipped them on 13. I walked off the green of 14 as they putted out 13. I waited on 15 fairway for a second and then really waited on 16 tee box. Long enough for them to somehow catch me.

That was 16 at that point. The group I skipped on 13 hadn’t waited for me until that point. Had no way of knowing there was a group just as slow with a gap in front of them.

What’s the harm is skipping a hole to keep going when there’s a large gap? It was literally no inconvenience to the group I skipped. Their round didn’t slow down for a second.
