Re: Etiquette...for the record

Hi Steve,

First of all, it is good to know that you are still with us on this
message board and website. Secondly, it is great to see you are
still playing. I had called a handful of times and had not heard
back from you, other than when I talked to Lori a few months ago.

Now, for the record...(on this day you experienced) I arrived at the
Cypress course a bit after 6 pm to join a foursome of club members
on #15 (shooting straight down the hill toward the police building).
At that point, I noticed a twosome arriving at the tee of #10. I
noticed because there were no other players on this side of the
course. The next time I saw this twosome was when we were finishing
#16. I noticed it was you and Lori. You two were walking down the
fairway of #15 when I called to you. Unfortunately, your response
was less than cordial and you kept walking. I was taken back by your
response but headed toward the #17 tee as you finished #15. We
finished #17 and went to the tee of #18. You two finished 16 & 17
and decided to stop as we were leaving the tee of #18.

As for what happened before I arrived, I cannot say, but I can
guarantee the etiquette of those who I played with would be of the
same professional caliber you would expect. If you did appear to be
coming close to our/their group we/they would have let you through.
The closest you came to us was when you were leaving from the basket
of #17 and we had finished teeing off #18.

I wish you would have said something at the time rather than us
corresponding in this manner.

I hope you do keep playing and keep the faith that we are all in it
together in the spirit of fun and friendship.

YES!!! There is definitely a course ettiquette and those folks were not using it. Yet the behavior you describe is all too common - it always seems to be the...

Please don't characterize the Cypress Course by my description of one instance. By far most of my experiences there have been positive. It is not uncommon to...

Don't worry, I'll still hit Fort Ord someday. You just hit a nerve with me. The second response was a bit more eloquent. Some bigger groups are beginners, and...

Your right, this is not good course 'etiquette' and should be frowned upon. Though of course it happens and seems sometimes will happen with groups that should...
