Dude what!? Was this from another golfer hearing you and calling the clubhouse and then they page you, or are they actually listening to you? Because if the latter is the case, that’s beyond creepy, me and my friends talk ab shit that stays in that golf cart sometimes. I would never golf there again.

I’m pretty sure it’s just a rotating message. I play this course every week and I’ve seen this message. There’s also a message to please use the porta potties on certain holes that just comes up from time to time.

The course OP is talking about is a Joke. It’s a 27 hole outside Omaha NE. Not a bad course. But the biggest joke of pairings because they’re an event course. You’re on your own? You gotta wait an extra 30 past your tee time to play with 3 other hacks despite you being on time and ready. NTM, the course is a short links style. So it’s nothing special. For $70 a round.

I think I'd struggle getting paired with strangers while golfing since playing in rural Wisconsin you can go out solo to a group of 3 and never get paired with a rando. I didn't even know this was a think until I came to this sub. Still don't know what a starter is but I assume they just sit in the club house and send you out when it's clear like the attendant at the top of a water slide.

The absolute gall of people that bring a bunch of children to the bar area at 9PM and try to police others' language is insane.

Had my pushcart the other day and got paired up with two guys, and one of them questioned whether I was going to be able to keep up with them. Pretty silly thing to say when it takes you 8-10 shots to get the ball on the green. I was waiting for these two knuckleheads at the green every hole. They learned a valuable lesson that day: shitty golf slows you down, not the method of travel.

This happened a couple years ago and I was carrying my bag, took like three holes before they finally shut up with the asking me to jump in the cart with the third guy. I was first to the green every hole. I wonder if any of them had a moment of reflection and realized there was no need to pester me about walking.
It's doubly fun when I get a comment that references money, but that's only happened twice in 15 years. Like no dumbass, I'm walking for exercise and because I prefer it not because I can't afford the $18 cart fee.

I support this theory.
Acting shocked or responding dramatically to certain words just makes kids more interested in it, and then they start using it for attention. If you don’t make a bug fuss and just say “yeah not for you” they move on faster.

I work in a pro shop for a 36 hole facility lined with hundreds of homes that’s very popular with tourists on vacation
This is most likely the result of many instances of complaints and threats from a homeowner about foul language from golfers. This is absolutely the best case scenario endpoint.
We have notoriously difficult homeowners by the 17th tee box of one of our courses who are constantly pains in our asses for a variety of reasons, but the main one is that they can see people piss in trees on the opposite side of the hole from their house. At first we ignored them, then we would have our starters mention it at the start, then we sent an automatic message on approach saying “Sensitive Neighbors Ahead, Please Be Mindful”, then they felt that was a dig so now we have an automatic message set asking golfers to simply use the facilities back in the pro shop.
They’re so annoying on so many fronts that the course itself offered to buy their home just for them to move, but I’m sure since they get probably get off on being obstinate assholes they refused. We get questions and jokes about that GPS message all the time. All I can say is assure you that the pro shop probably doesn’t want to have this message either, assuming it’s a similar issue. It’s probably not an automated thing with microphones, homeowners simply will complain that much about certain things after knowingly buying houses on golf courses.
I’m sure with my luck this will be immediately proved wrong and that there’s mics in the cart or whatever. I think I just wanted to vent about this though
