The last time was a blind t shot and the whole group hit into us. We sent all 4 balls back. They ended up saying sorry and went a reteed.
This is pretty ridiculous. If it's a blind drive and the course doesn't have a bell system, it's incumbent on you to leave a cart or golf bag in view of the tee until you're out of the landing zone.

2) Wait to see if they come up and apologize or act like an arse, and behave accordingly?
only answer. 9/10 it's an honest mistake that can be explained.

Hit into my group once, I'd probably look back, make a couple of gestures (not obscene ones, just to make sure they acknowledge).
Do it again and

I dont care if someone hits into me one time. It happens. No biggie.

Just chiming in to say that if if flies into the group, that’s way different than if a drive rolls up into a group, especially if it’s real dry.
The other consideration I always take into account, is that there is a great chance that you will be waiting at another time in the round, and there’s no reason to risk hitting into a group ahead if there’s even a chance. What’s the rush?

This is why I only drive about 150 yards or so. Can’t risk killing someone if I hit it as far as I could.

zero fricking etiquette
The lack of respect and golf etiquette these days is truly mind blowing. I was fortunate enough to learn the game from others who taught me to respect others, the course, and myself out during a round. With that being said, you hit in to my group once it’s likely taken as a mistake, but more than once you aren’t getting that ball back.

Long, downhill par 4. Busy day at the course. My friend hits a weak slice to the adjacent hole's fairway. He just bought a new 5-hybrid. He's around 240 from the green, with trees in between us and the green area. he's aiming for the fairway, thinking it will land about 40 yards from the edge of the green.
There is really just no scenario where you should be hitting your second shot on a par 4 if they are still on the green

I don't think there's anything wrong with a layup but homie ain't laying up on a downhill hole intentionally with a 5H

I don’t even lay up in those situations. It’s not just about not hitting them. It’s about not hitting close enough to them that you’re riding their arse unnecessarily. If I’m playing through, I will catch them at the tee box and ask or have them wave me on at the green.
No need to lay up right behind them when they’re still putting. It’s just uncomfortable.

It helps pace of play. Is it needed, no. Does it help, yes.

How do you react when the group behind you lands a ball on the green while you're putting?
Had this happen once at LSU. Mind you this was back in the 2010 timeframe where LSU would stack up and the group behind us was hammered.
They hit into us on 9, then the fairway on 11. I mentioned to them this was the second time and thought that was that.
Then on 14 they hit a drive that rolled past all 4 of us while we were waiting to hit into the green. Never heard fore once any of the 3 times. I went to the bag, grabbed my driver, and gave it right back to them off the deck. They get all pissed off drive up to us and ask "did yall see a ball up here?", to which I pointed back to the tee box and said yea it went that way.
Fast forward a few holes, we are putting on 17 and here comes a ball that rolls up to the green from the same group. Great shot about 10 foot from the hole. I picked the ball up stuck it in my pants and rubbed it on my nuts making sure they were watching. Then placed it right back where it was on the green.
We finished playing and there were no further altercations.

it is needed when you are on other fairway like OP
can't wait for the green to clear on another fairway. Either pick up or quickly lay up back on your hole

Trash like you and your idiot friend is why I hardly play anymore
Posted on 6/25/24 at 4:27 pm to Strannix
The last time I hit into someone. My wife and I were playig. she hit from the women’s tees. I’m looking at a green with three carts in front , the board says 345. I hit and got it all. Four heads pop up and look…..told my wife….”Hit one of the carts” they didn’t move. We approached the green after her second shot. Older guy says “We had to stay to see who hit that!”
I lost sight of it, but knew it was going straight. “I’m sorry…. Sorry hell, you should be playing withTiger. It rolled under the cart and 5 feet from the pin.

Nobody cares, but be honest. You quit because you suck.
I'll bite though. I never claimed my friend is a genius and I never said he handled it beautifully. He is still learning golf and golf etiquette. It was a learning moment. I helped smooth it out before things came to blows. If that's trash, I don't know what else to say.
I'll ask it a different way: How much antagonizing are you willing to put up with if your salty arse shanked a shot into an adjacent teebox and they bowed up, flipped you off and cussed you, then threw your ball in the pond?

I can't believe I have to say this, but this is very different. Clearly a mistake vs. hitting it at the people on the green you're playing.

I probably wouldn't say this..

I said "I would recommend not messing with him"
or this

I asked where did the ball hit you?
if you don't want people to think you're trashy. You should've also calmed your friend down and explained to him that he was in the wrong before running up to the group in front of you because someone flicked him off and he's a child who can't control his emotions.

He is still learning golf and golf etiquette.
1 - if you didn’t tell him not to hit you should have.
2 - you clearly escalated it. You weren’t smoothing it out by any stretch of the imagination.
That last little shank scenario shows you haven’t learned a thing. He was wrong, you were wrong. Period, dot.
