What about the ding dongs that must put their score on the card before they walk off?How hard is it to move off and do the card on the next tee box? Or the group on the final hole must shake hands/hug each other before moving off? Pisses me off

That happened to us the other day, we were stuck behind a slow group that had several open holes in front of them and a pile up behind them. One of them would stop 2 steps off the green to write the scores down on every hole. On a shortish par three I waited for them to clear out and even waited on "scorecard guy" as well. I hit my shot and pulled it badly. I yelled "FORE" and it hit about 20 yards BEHIND them bounced a few times then rolled about 10 yards.

The closest it ever got to them was about 20 feet once it finally stopped rolling and "scorecard guy" waited until we pulled up to lecture me about giving them a chance to get off the green. So I apologized(even though I felt I didn't need to), reminded him we yelled "FORE", and then mentioned it never threatened hitting any of them. So then he tells me how I "am not good enough to be hitting when people are near a hole"... WTF?? SERIOUSLY??? I then reminded him he is on a golf course and this type of thing will happen from time to time and if he was on the next tee box hitting his shot and not holding up play he wouldn't be in range....

Now normally I would have just ignored his comments, but I wasn't about to listen to a lecture from a guy whose group held up play causing everyone to have a 5 hour round. Plus it was the only time it happened, it would be different if I had hit in to them before that.
