re: Golf "etiquette" and rules are why young people dont get into it

I agree with you to a certain extent. When I started playing golf I was absolutely terrible (I still am, but that's a different story for another time). I would usually go play with a few people who sucked, like me, just for fun. There were old Marshalls that made playing suck at times. They would follow us around and just sit and watch us. We would let people play through when they caught up to us, so we weren't doing anything wrong. Just trying to enjoy playing. They made it very unwelcoming.
