Ol Colony (Tuscaloosa) Rant
12:40 Labor Day round... so there's context for this incident.
Show up, warm up, we're early to first tee (1205) Putting on practice green waiting our turn to tee off. First starter "Hey since you're a 3 some go after this 2 some." Cool Thanks -
10 min... waiting for the 12:10 4 some and 12:20 2 some...
2nd Starter shows... These guys have a 12:30 but their waiting on their 3rd... Wizz bang 3rd guy shows up at 12:35...
We're bumped back... "ok cool 1240 is what we signed up for on a holiday weekend."
Late guy " If we slow y'all down you're welcome to play thru"
6th hole... 2 hours later. My buddy stripes a 5h wood 250+ to 5ft of the green (shot of the day). All of this happened next:
Partner goes up to explain / apologies.
Mean muggs
Group in question starts waiting on tee until just before we putt out - for the next 8 holes.
Hole 13 with up to a 4 hole gap after the turn (I guess we lose the 2 some and maybe a 4 some...
3 Clubhouse calls for intentional slow play (3+ hole gap)
4 Marshall visits (hey it's a holiday)
1 Marshal quitting
1 Pro / Supe visit on 17th hole (explaining 1st Marshall quit)
Pro legitimately said "Pace of play is 4hrs 20 min they're only a little behind"
BTW... slower traffic keep right... May apply in this situation and these guys were the assholes driving 55 in the left lane
