Yeah that does win, but I also thought it was kind of obvious. Not to the people not letting people through though, I guess.
One time my brother and I were playing as a twosome (this is at Brown Deer in Coralville, IA, for those familiar with it). On about the 14th hole we came upon a foursome that was heinously slow. There was clearly nobody in front of them. Clearly. Yet they just kept plodding along. My response, however immature, was to slam on the breaks and squeal on the pavement when stopping, or to stand in the middle of the fairway and glare at them.
This whole thing reached its nadir on the 17th hole, a par-3 that goes quite a ways downhill. I was having a great round prior to running into those douchebags, and I was annoyed that they were taking me out of my happy place. So I took out a driver and started pounding balls over their head into the pond behind the hole. NOW they paid attention to me, confronting me when I came up to the green and telling me they were going to turn me in. I basically told them to STFU, that I was visiting from another state anyway, and they were the ones that started it by forcing our pace to a crawl and not letting us play through.
