What do you do when someone hits into your group?
Picture this...
You're lining up that 12-foot birdie putt when suddenly a golf ball comes rolling onto the fringe behind you. It's the shot of a lifetime for the group behind... and definitely not the timing of a lifetime for your group!
Your first reaction probably isn't, "Nice shot!" It's more likely something... a little less printable.
The truth is, golf is a funny game. Sometimes we chunk one 40 yards. Sometimes we absolutely flush one. And every once in a while, we hit a shot that we were certain couldn't reach the group ahead... until it catches a firm fairway, a downslope, or gets an unexpected kick and suddenly rolls onto the green.
Does it happen? Yes.
Should it happen often? No.
Was it probably intentional? Almost certainly not.
A little grace goes a long way. A sincere wave or apology from the group behind, and a little understanding from the group ahead, can keep everyone's round enjoyable.
At Parkview, we're fortunate to have some of the best golfers around—not necessarily because they all shoot under par, but because they're good people who treat each other with respect.
If a situation ever becomes more than an honest mistake, please flag down the ranger or give the clubhouse a call. We're always happy to help get things back on track.
Now... if you'll excuse us, we have ruled that this one gets a free pass.
Play well. Play safe. And remember—everyone has been "that group" at least once.
