I'd rather play with a canine companion than with someone blasting music.
Or drinking too much.
Or constantly yakking on their phone.
Or who drives their carts near the green.
Or who doesn't fix their divots, or rake the bunkers.
Or who plays too slow.
And based on current reports, Matt Kuchar, as he may shortchange us on treats.
But there needs to be rules and the problem is that there are those who will ignore the rules.
The dog should be on a leash. Either a waist leash attached to the player, or leashed to a pull cart.
The owner must have to pick up any waste. No excuses.
The dog wouldn't be allowed on the green.
So perhaps good for some courses, or on specified days/times.
As the article's author noted, I do feel guilty when out walking a course, knowing that my dog is at home, and likes nothing better than a long walk. Time spent golfing is currently time that I can't spend walking with my dog. And the dog would greatly enjoy the sights, sounds, smells of a good rural or semi-rural course.
And having him along just might improve my game, as it would decrease my frustration and allow me to be more relaxed.
