Do you ask pro shop this question?

I noticed recently that every time I play golf I ask the pro shop about pace of play. The question usually is “how does it look out there?” Once I started thinking of this (thanks beer and weed) I wondered how many times the pros get asked this question. Am I the only one that asks this l? If so then I’m a tool.

If they are even honest, what are you going to do if they say it’s slow?

Turn around and leave?

I worked at a golf course for a few years, and that isn't anywhere near the most asked question. The most asked question has to do with course conditions, cart path only, etc. Just lump all the questions about the course together, because there are 100 variations of the same "course in good shape?" question. But you aren't a tool for asking. That's a reasonable request and you can look at the tee sheet and tell the pace of play.


Also, big fan of the "can I get a tee time around 8:30.. I've got 8:30... Can I get one a little later"

Just pay and move on. Nothing pisses me off more when there is a line 6 people deep and some jack arse with a +20 handicap is up there asking the kid at the counter 1000 questions.

Nothing he tells you is going to make your day any better or worse, and half of your questions will be answered the second you walk outside and look around. The other half you’ll figure out pretty quick on the first hole.

I'm sure it helps pass the time between folding shirts.

Or it’s around 30 degrees in the winter “is there a frost delay this morning?”
