Etiquette: Leaving the green before all have finished?

That takes the "etiquette" concerns off the player and onto the committee.

> Times have improved, that said, we don't use carts that much so nobody is hitting the accelerator whilst someone is on the green.

 

That’s another thing I hadn’t considered. I walk every round I can. So I don’t often think in cart terms. Are you guys driving off and leaving people on the green ? Lol. That’s cold blooded. Especially if the course isn’t an old one with tees by the previous green

I went to the Austin NCAA Div I regional tournament on Wednesday and observed that 100% of the time all of the golfers waited on or by the green while everyone putted out.

 

Oh, and these kids can play golf!!!!!

Same here. First person who holes out usually grabs the flag in our group. If everyone keeps the flag in, then I have no problems with someone walking to the next tee box as long as they're not walking when someone is putting.
