I had an interesting pace of play situation today. There was a foursome ahead of me and I think they just were not very thoughtful or considerate of what they were doing. They were very loud and very slow the entire time. So, I just would not rate them highly for course etiquette.

Anyway I get onto the tee box for 3. Holes 2, 3 and 4 run side by each in up and down fashion for the most part. That is particularly true for 3 and 4 as they virtually border each other.

From what I could see, the foursome ahead of me decided to drive just as the guys ahead of them were taking their second shots. So instead of waiting in the tee box for 4, they ended up driving pretty close to the guys ahead of them and then waiting out where their tee shots landed. As you might have guessed by now one of them landed his tee shot onto the right side of the 3rd fairway, the fairway I was going to be driving into from the tee box for 3. So instead of being back in the tee box for 4 as I was about to tee off on 3 he and his cart were on the right hand side of the fairway I was about to drive into.

While the right hand side is not the place to be on 3, I am still very reluctant to tee off when a guy is standing right in what is a very likely landing area for my drive. So they ended up waiting to hit their approach shots and I ended up waiting before I could drive down the 3rd for the most part because they had taken their tee shots earlier than they should have and then landed at least one of them into the 3rd fairway.

They seemed pretty oblivious to the whole thing because they could clearly see me standing there in the tee box for 3 and they were not yet able to take their 2nd shots on 4. All it would have taken would have been for that one guy to get in his cart and move off into his fairway while I drove my tee shot on 3. Does it sound like I am being unreasonable or do you think he should have moved off into his fairway and waited there so I could tee off on 3? It was not like he was close to being able to hit his approach shot. The guys ahead of his foursome were nowhere near ready to leave the 4th green and anybody with eyes could see that.
