The Irrelevant Golf Marshall
This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.
Hello. I work as a golf marshall. My job is to keep play moving. If a slow group doesn't speed up after a word of encouragement, they get flagged. After two flags, they get a visit from the pro shop, where they end up being asked to leave, or skip ahead a few holes.
In an ideal world, my role would be unnecessary. As it is now, sometimes I'm irrelevant.
Why? Because slow golfers do not realize they are slow. The real bad offenders are in disbelief when told they are slow. The next stage is anger, then defiance. If a group gets to this stage, they are not going to speed up, no matter what.
It comes down to the fact that they pay their money to play, and so they feel they're entitled to play at their own pace, no matter how slow that is, and no matter how many people are waiting for them.
When groups are like this, I become an irrelevant marshall.
Regards,
Irrelevant
