After about a 2-3 year hiatus, I've been golfing again a lot for the last month or two. It's great to be playing again.

I've been playing at Pier a lot, and I keep finding myself behind people who are taking tons of extra throws. Frequently emptying their bags on puts and approaches. They don't seem like beginners, either. Which is to say I expect them to know better. They can clearly see me waiting for them at the tee pad at every hole. Sometimes I get a chance to play through. Usually I just end up skipping a couple holes to pass.

I don't remember it being such a consistent problem when I used to play. Have you guys found it's getting worse? Is DG growing to the point that there are a lot of newer players who don't grasp basic course etiquette? Is it the same as it's always been, and it's all in my head? I'd be interested to hear thoughts.
