Desert Spings Golf Property Spanish Property in Spain

Posted on March 14th, 2010 by admin

When Spanish Hot Properties look out for Golf Properties for its client we try very hard to pick out something special especially here in spain with 100s of top quality Golf Resorts to choose from but to our mind Desert Springs Golf resort in unique and just needs to be seen. When the likes of Sir Ian Botham says “When I bought a property in Spain it just had to be Desert Spring” and Daley Thompson says “Desert Springs has lots of activities to keep me fit and my family happy” you know that this resort is just a bit exclusive and a bit special but not expensive for what you get.

So when buying Spanish golf property in Spain it makes sense to visit http://www.spanishhotproperties.com/index.php

Breech of Golf Ettiquete?

Posted on February 25th, 2010 by admin

If you’ve seen me post before, you probably know that i’m a beginner golfer. On sunday, I hit the links with my friend. We had fun and i shot a 13 over on the back 9 which was a good day for me :D .

However when we got back to the clubhouse my mood turned immediately sour. I was confronted by the manager person, who accused my friend and I of defacing property as well as impolite behavior reguarding speed of play.
So here’s what happened:

On the 1st 9 holes, i’ll admit we were going slower than average. I think we finished in 2 1/2 hours or so. there was a group of 4 gentlemen behind us who were obviously belligerent drunk. They caught up to us on the 8th hole. we negated to let them pass, played thru the 9th.

After 9, we went to the clubhouse and bought a couple waters. The group that was behind us proceeded to the 10th. When we got back out there, after about 45 minutes, we caught up to them. We were playing good golf at the time. on the 16th, we found ourselves waiting behind them as they were chatting before teeing off.

We decided we didn’t want to place them in the same predicament, so we just elected to skip the 16th.

Somehow, on the 18th, they caught back up. It was one of my last shots of the day. An approach shot from about 60 yds. I took a practice swing, taking a small divot. The other group, now behind, informed me to replace the divot. I did. My friend and I putted, then headed back to the clubhouse, where the confrontation with the manager occured.

Q1. Were we in the wrong to neglect them the opportunity to play the 9th hole before us?

Q2. Is it ever a breach of etiquette to skip a hole rather than wait for the group ahead?

Q3. Obviously, some jackass from the group behind called the clubhouse, because the manager made a direct statement about me tearing up the fairway on the 18th. So on an approach shot, should you take your practice swing w/o a divot? Was the man in the group behind in the wrong for calling the clubhouse about an error that i fixed?
Clarification: We didn’t spend 45 minutes @ the turn. What i meant was that 45 minutes after the turn, we caught back up to them.
Clarification #2: they did hit at us. They did aim at us. 1 of their drives hit off a hill and drilled my friend in the back of the head. So maybe now you can see why we did take our time.

Q1. Yes. You let faster groups play through whenever possible. If you knew they were waiting, you should have waved them up. If you played in 2 1/2 hours, then you were playing VERY slow, ESPECIALLY if you were a twosome. If you got caught by a drunk foursome, then you must have been playing slow on purpose (hitting extra balls; reputting; etc.). If you’re out practicing, then fine, but let others play through. If you’re looking for a lost ball and there is a group behind you, let them play through while you’re looking. And, as you said, they caught you on the 8th so it’s not like you were already on 9 and making the turn.

Q2. It can be a breach of etiquette to skip a hole IF it affects other people’s play. Otherwise, I’d say no. But if you skipped up and within a hole the other guys are waiting again, you’re an ass. You already know you play ridiculously slow so why would you even attempt it? Maybe if you skipped up two holes. You skipped one hole and within just one hole they were already waiting on you??

Q3. You can take a divot on a practice. That’s not the problem. But if you didn’t fix it or took 10 swings with a bunch of divots, there’s a problem. Most courses want you to sand the divots, not replace them. As long as you’re doing that, it’s probably okay. But the guys were still pissed because you jumped in front of them and then appeared to slow play them on purpose. Based on your admitted attitude on 8/9, I’d guess you probably took your sweet time finishing.

You’re lucky. If you did that to me on 18, I’d have hit into you…and maybe even aimed for you. Be glad they just called the proshop.

You should go out of your way to be extra nice when playing golf, even if others aren’t. Letting people play through is just part of golf. You let "faster groups" play through regardless of their size. The exception MIGHT be if the field is just jammed up and there is nowhere to go. If it’s a faster single or twosome behind you and the field is tight, you could even offer to combine groups and play together since it’d probably be the same pace.

And there’s NO excuse for you taking 2 1/2 hours for nine holes. You played 150m/9holes or about 17m/hole as a two some on the front and then you imply that you played 45m/6 holes or 7 1/2m/hole on the back. Something isn’t right.

Hopefully your concern about if you’re doing the right thing is genuine. If so, now you know. Otherwise, quit being an ass. Other than the divot thing, I’m glad the manager got onto you. There are a few kids at my home course that think they own the place and finally the staff suspended some of them. You might have been affecting more than just the immediate group behind you, too.
