A friend was at a two-tiered driving range. He was on the bottom tier. A guy nearby is hitting under the ball such that the ball was hitting the roof and ricocheting, almost hitting other players.<br /><br />One of them finally asked that he stop doing that. Either not knowing how to, or simple rudeness, he continued to hit balls onto the roof.<br /><br />Eventually, a ball hit him on the top of the head and he got the message.<br /><br />I'm sorry it takes someone getting hurt to stop inappropriate behavior, but let's be honest, better him than another person.<br /><br />Golf is the one place I enjoy civility and grace between other players.

But, why is it that players continually talk about etiquette on the course. Shouldn't etiquette also apply to the practice range? <br /><br />Have you ever been to a practice range while there is loud group of people? These people are there to have fun and to socialize and that’s wonderful. What about the other players that are trying to concentrate on their practice. Why should the player that is trying to improve be constantly jolted by noise and movement? <br /><br />Is the practice range a social platform? A place without golf etiquette? Or is a Practice range?<br /><br />Greg Peddie<br />www.Lowerhandicaps.comGreg Peddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00880410252700140172noreply@blogger.com
