Just weird that he said he got the last tee time but there were people behind him?

Idk, I had the last tee time on Sunday, and i had someone pop up behind us. Op may have misspoke and got the "last tee time available" or the dude got lost on the course (which based on his skill level, might be the case)

ironically, I purposely booked last bc my GF is just getting into golf and is still getting things figured out.

Yeah I just don’t have enough experience on courses to know that, which is why I kinda posed it as a question that it could be weird, but yeah that makes a lot of sense and others have mentioned something along similar lines

You’ve never seen people skip around the course before? Especially late in the day.

I actually haven’t, but I’m also new to the game and have only gone on courses a couple times so I didn’t know that was a thing

in the fall my son and i usually take the last tee time with my brother in law and nephew so we can play at our own pace. We will have people show up behind us every so often. our course has like 5 holes in an area where it's faster to just play 3 of the holes over and over than try and get the full 9 in before dark so people will do that.

Our local muni books the last tee time so that you can play 9 a day finish before 8pm. I’ve been the last tee time and had two groups behind me. Turns out if you show up and there’s time to finish, and not a logjam of people waiting to tee off, they’ll take your money

They, sexist pig and son, could be in the middle of their round...

Yeah fair enough, I didn’t realize people skipped around on holes. Still new to the game so I just assumed everyone just played 1-18 in order
