Mid afternoon, playing 18 holes and things are flying along with no one in front of you and then getting to the 10th hole, getting backed up by all the twilight rate 9 holers allowed to go off the back.

Ugh. Same goes for when they put groups off the front and back in the morning, then when you come off one side, there's still 4 groups in line to tee off on the other, and you have to wait for all of them because the starter "didn't expect you to be done yet."

To avoid this you ask them what their expected pace of play is. When they say 2:10 and you make the turn in 1:30 you wont be so stupefied. Everyone wants to play golf in the morning so courses split the tees to accommodate more people.

So then we can be pissed 2 hours earlier when they say "two and a half"? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Cuz that's what it's like in the example I can remember.
I definitely understand what you mean, and I know sending people off both sides is common. IIRC that time we were the only people he told to go off the back, however, and we were a twosome in a cart and finished in 1:30. We didn't ask to go off the back--he told us. Starter should have expected us back in less than two and a half, or should have at least let us cut the line to tee off the front.
Wow, it's amazing how "Biggest Golf Pet Peeve" has turned into a huge thread of "bitch about everything that's ever pissed you off on a golf course before." [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
