No, it doesn't say i'm "OK" with it - that's a "wrong assumption" on your part. I pick the battles I want to fight and this would not be one of them. Agitated golfers like those Koreans are unpredictable and are not worth getting into a confrontation with.

Advising the Clubhouse/Marshall should be done so they can eventually deal with the idiots.
|
That's what I always do. Someone is usually out in a few minutes to deal with the matter.

However, I can't just put my head down and say "Go ahead fellas" and let them play through. I won't just roll over, they will know my thoughts on the issue. Especially if a group in front on my is causing the problem.

I do that with rational golfers who are not agitated. I play an average of 60 rounds a summer so I have a good understand of who I can or cannot reason with. Deal with the ones you can and let the Marshall and clubhouse deal with the others.

I'll let people playthrough if I'm causing the slowdown but I'll be damned if I'm gonna let some d-bags get in front of me so that I have to wait for them to either hit someone up front or bully their way further forward.

Until a marshall or someone from the clubhouse arrives i'll let the agaitated ones play though. Nothing could be worse with either of them showing up and seeing a situation the OP was in. Not worth the risk of a banning from the course or someone getting hurt.

If you are against teaching them a lesson why do you report it at all? You actually do agree with teaching them a lesson you just want someone else to do the dirty work.

Hitting the ball back at them or leaving the pin out doesn't teach them a lesson. That's what I was refering to.
