Hit their balls back to them… It's what we do in the PNW. Or… Drive back to them and ask them to drive forward and see just exactly when you need to hit. Either scenerio will get their attention. Stop being passive… It allows people to continue to act like imbeciles.
Yes, self awareness is very important. I’ve yet to see it on the course. BUT- where is staff, why are they packing tee times so close, staff needs to be self aware as well. It’s #1 reason to quit. It’s too frustrating on what is supposed to be recreation.
Keeping your composure is hard sometimes! Had a guy hit into our group on the 3rd hole not long ago. We were waiting on the group in front of us. I told the guy, “don’t do that again”. He said..well hurry the “F” up! I informed him if it happened again I would come back there and crawl up in that cart with him and he would not like it!! He came up 2 holes later and apologized. His playing partner said, “I told him if that big ole boy comes back here your on your own” 😂😂😂. Wise choice!!!
If they know they can’t reach you and they hit I don’t see the problem. I do it all the time. Now if there’s a possibility that you could catch one and absolutely send it don’t hit, but if someone is 330 out I know I’m not getting there. I don’t see the problem
had that happen twice, first time, i called the starter office and the course marshal came and for some reason they got booted off the course, second time, i snapped the guys driver in half, i was playing with family and the ball landed on our cart, so i drove over his ball and waited for him and my cousins were in the group ahead and came back, never seen someone so scared in my life, i did kind of feel bad about his driver but me or my dad could have got seriously hurt
I just walk up, look sideways at the woods and hit their ball. Then say oops sorry thought it was mine. lol. They get so pissed at you and you just say thought it was my ball. If they push it, I beat the snot out of them.
I've actually had a physical altercation because of this very thing. Group behind us kept hitting into us and one time hit the green while we were still putting (drivable par 4, but still) so we yelled back "wtf?". They were hammered, came barreling up and bum rushed the green, started threatening us and started swinging and we beat the absolute piss out of them. Nothing came of it because they were members(we were not) and one of the guys dad was a police chief of some nearby town. The marshal came out and asked us not to call the cops and to keep it between us. They had to go in and get cleaned up and we finished our round and I finished off with a birdie and 2 pars haha.
Hit your ball near me and you lose your ball, really simple. I've had to turn around and blast people's balls back towards them in the tee box before, I simply don't put up with it.

Everyone’s trying to make the Tour lol
Hit them back at them
Soooo. Hit it back. If he comes up. Drop him
Hit there ball back at them or better get out of the golf course lol😊
Course looks like shit
Tell us you ain’t getting laid without telling us you ain’t getting laid! Have some class and patience your acting like a Biden supporter bro!
That starter needs to be fired 😂😂😂
Waiting is the worst
My rule – if the ball from behind lands within 10 paces I pick it up.
Nobody has ever gotten their ball back.
When it’s slow like that I wave group behind up on par 5s while I wait to go for green.
This and the astronomical price are why I quit golf forever. Screw it, I'm way happier.
So you are 3some or a twosome get the guy in front of you to join. And if you are a twosome why are you in separate carts?
Or how about just laying up and going for a easier birdie and keep things moving and it would be easier to join guy in front.
This is what happens when golf clubs pack in tee times.
Easy solution. If they hit into you, pocket their ball. I do it every time especially if people in front are playing slow
Whynis there a single playing by himself on a crowded day? ? Or did I misunderstand?
If they know they can’t reach you and they hit I don’t see the problem. I do it all the time. Now if there’s a possibility that you could catch one and absolutely send it don’t hit, but if someone is 330 out I know I’m not getting there. I don’t see the problem
Imagine caring about any of this. Oh my god.

if they hit into you intentionally, you yell "Great Shot!" then chuck their ball off the fairway.
You mean they were getting pissed with a camera crew and felt like possibly it was slightly delaying them?
I just walk up, look sideways at the woods and hit their ball. Then say oops sorry thought it was mine. lol. They get so pissed at you and you just say thought it was my ball. If they push it, I beat the snot out of them.
Dude go tell them to F off
So tired of Golf Courses booking tee times so close together.
Hold back, chat them up buy them a beer and make new best friends.
Confront them
This video was so informative. I’m so glad it popped up on my feed

It’s the courses fault
Thanks COVID…
This is an easy one you just simply return their balls to them the way they hit them at you
Well they should obviously catch up to you guys as well. ?
Simply have a talk with them.

If they do it twice i typically hit it back.
I used to play with a group of guys that were not very good golfers, but they were all scratch fighters. Hit in to us at your own risk! 😉
Piss poor course management by the club.
FCK that. Hit it back at them.
