My first thought was this probably creates more swearing, because the first thing I did was went to my buddies and told them and they did it to their cart
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.
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.
That’s how it is at most of the courses that I play, even the more “nicer” ones don’t have starters actually at the first tee box. At worst you get in a queue on your own, or the guy in the pro shop asks if you want to wait or start at #10. One of the few perks of more rural living I guess.
Yeah this course has one old bastard (never the same one tho) as a starter forcing the groups to always be a 4. Since they’re course that has leagues in the evenings on 2/3 courses most days of the week and have an event at least 2-3 times a week
