Can’t see the woods for the trees

Somewhat irritating when a foursome who on most holes hit there balls into the rough, don’t let a two ball through.

What happened to golf etiquette?

Played the course on a “Hot Deal” which made it great value for a round of golf. The course is slowly recovering from the poor spring weather and growth is showing signs. Greens were still struggling as were parts of the fairways. Hopefully in a months time the course will be much better
