Actually drove off but you get the point. Played Silver Springs this morning, had an 8:40 tee time.

The course stinks, or at least the management of it by the players & the non existent rangers. I have literally never seen such poor play, poor manners & slow play in my life. Every tee shot there were at least 3 out of every group who would tee up a 2nd & sometimes a 3rd ball because they sucked so bad at hitting a ball. Course was backed up a bit but that was the fault of not having any rangers to keep the pace up & players who were playing as a friend of mine calls it "Army Golf", the shots went left, right, left , right, left, etc etc.

2 balls would be next to each other & one person would sit in the cart until the other had hit & then after the 1st guy hit his ball, put his club away & climbed back in the cart, the other guy would slowly get out of the cart, choose a club, put it back, pick another club, & then proceed to launch the ball 20 yds right.

My wife & I were playing & I was doing fairly well, used 3 w a lot off the tee & keeping the ball in play. had to play thru a 6 some...that's right a 6 some. Then came up on a 3 some who would not shut up long enough to take a shot. Claimed they were waiting on the group in front of them but I saw nobody anywhere on the hole???????

In the meantime the 6 some catches up, no no way should a 6 some ever catch a 3 some but it was happening time & time again.

Shot an extremely aggravating 41 on the front, was happy with my shots but not happy with how long it took, almost 3 hrs to play 9 holes!!!!!!!!!! Drove to the 10th tee which is a bit of cruise & came up on 2 more groupls waiting as well as 2 out on the hole already. I told my wife I was giving up & getting out of Dodge before I bludgeoned someone with a club.

It would have taken 6+ hrs to play 18 holes, totally unacceptable to myself.
