Never have come to blows but close. Lots of yelling and swearing. We always played quickly but sometimes the idiots behind you think its your fault that the family of four, playing their only round of golf of the year on Memorial Day at the muni that is ahead of you and playing for a five and a half hour round looking for lost balls, hitting it 10 yards at a time and then five putting. After having them drive into our foursome while putting a couple of times we would send the ball back at them. For some reason they found that upsetting. Plus there may have been some drinking going on.

If we're gonna start bashing five-putting, I'm out!!!WestlinnDuck said:Never have come to blows but close. Lots of yelling and swearing.

If you are consistently five putting ahead of me I better not see any plumb bobbing or lining up the putt from both sides of the hole.DerekJohnson said:

Playing 18 with BendintheRiver - after five putting on the first hole he told me that next to his kids being born, that was the happiest day of his life.

My friend and I got paired up with these jackasses at Jefferson once. We were pretty young and didn't know golf etiquette at all. It didn't get close to a fight, but before the ninth we told them to just go ahead. We went to short nines for a while after that.

Played a LOT in the late 80's and early 90's when it was tough to get a tee time anywhere within 2 hours of Seattle. Bellevue Muni was the worst for shenanigans like above. Hurt my back and retired. I was a hacker anyways, did OK on the short Muni courses but longer ones killed me. What an addicting game, you knew that your next shot could be the best shot of your life. It usually wasn't. -
Had a golf outing in Orting (forget the name of the course) where my sister and sister-in-laws were taking so long to play that the group of guys behind finally started teeing off when they were in range. They were getting pissed, so my sister on 4 consecutive holes stepped on their tee shots.
The course in Orting is extremely wet and she sunk the shots deep in the turf. They stopped and waited to tee off after that - lost their balls I suppose.
I know I would have asked them to step aside so I could play through but I was in the group in front of them so did not care. We had all the time in the world as no one was pushing us from behind. (greek jokes welcome)
Edit: that is why I used to take days off from work so I did not run across the slow golfers on the weekend. Or tee off at 5:30 AM to finish before they got there -
I had a close call with an obnoxious fuck a couple of summers ago. If the starter and rangers would do their job right, or at all, it never would have happened. This guy violated just about every golf etiquette rule I've ever known and it wrecked our whole front 9 having to follow him. Something had to be said.
It didn't surprise me too much that he was ready to throw down when I opened my mouth at the turn. Only an block headed prick would pull the shit he was pulling out there. I was pretty sure I was about to be in a fight but his buddy sprinted to cut him off and then my two playing partners, who I'm pretty sure were just going to let it happen (fuckers) decided to step in between us as well.
It seems ridiculous to get in any kind of confrontation over golf but people are cock suckers and sometimes have to be called out for it no matter where you are. Golf courses, in particular, attract a lot of cock suckers. -
High Cedars. Generally speaking, if you’re not playing in August the ball needs no extra incentive to bury itself there.LebamDawg said:Had a golf outing in Orting (forget the name of the course) where my sister and sister-in-laws were taking so long to play that the group of guys behind finally started teeing off when they were in range.

I love it when it is an old fashioned fight. No guns or knives.
Lefty in blue dodged while orange threw haymakers that never landed. Lefty waited, waited, waited, saw his opening and then jabbed Mr. Haymaker in the nose, which of course was his come to Jesus moment, and the fight ended.
It's all fun and games until the eyes start to water.
I belonged to this club called Coto De Caza in Orange County. Some snooty people but most were nice. I hit the perfect 3 wood on a fairway. It went about 70 yards further than I had hit one before or since with that club. 280-290 yard 3 wood, unheard of for me. There was a foursome on the green and they were putting. My ball rolled up onto the green and right through the legs of a guy addressing his ball and hit his ball. I had yelled four, they heard it but never looked up. I yell "FOUR" , the ball rolls through his legs and all we hear is "NO SHIT".
We see them on the next tee box, I approach them and apologize. The guy I had hit the ball through the legs of was Alice Cooper. Super cool guy and was a great golfer. Go figure.
