Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and wrong, because sometime in your life, you will have been all of these. Dr. Robert H. Goddard

We have some dedicated ball hawkers in out 5 foursome group of players each Wednesday. They deliberately coast along the edges and can't resist going by a bush or marsh area without peeking about. Any time someone puts a ball into a hazard, it is an excuse for a deep dive.
A ball in the water invites the ball retriever to come out. Once that stick is out, it's a fishing derby with no catch limit.
To be fair, they always come back with egg cartons of freebies for the group, but one has to wonder what the point of their game is. I don't partake - it just condones the practice.
I once waited for a few of them to be be the group behind mine and spread some marshmallows in plain site along the fringes of their favorite hunting grounds. From a distance they look so tantalizing. The hawkers were in a rush to beat each other to these prizes.
I has marked on the marshmallows "PRO V1 Soft".
I could see then staring my way when they realized these were not real golf balls.
Fortunately there are no rules limiting the number of golf balls you can carry during a match!

How does a comment from 14 years ago get revived? Maybe the intial comment was posted from a distant galaxy and just arrived here.

Ben Crane was the other player, brutally slow.This isn't a dress rehearsal. Enjoy yourself. There's no do-over.

I also get p*ssed off seeing golfers who park their cars in the HC spots and walk and push their Clicgears for 18 holes.
