Incident occurred after we all holed out. He attempted hitting a ball with his putter off the green into the water about 20 yards away, showed no remorse and laughed afterwards. Didn’t even want to repair the divot. I was beyond angry, took his bag out of the cart and sent him back to the parking lot. I’m curious what others would have done if put in this position.

No longer part of the family.
Never again for him
We used to beat people with hammers for doing this
Yup, you did the correct thing by sending him on his way. I would even consider reporting him
Beyond disrespectful behaviour from your guest, no doubt he likes to litter too. You did 100% the right thing by giving him his marching orders, fair play👍
Never again. If you have no respect for the course, it’s like a slap in the face.
Guy sounds like a jerk, obviously doesn’t get another invite.
They will repair it with the hole cutter and put a plug in it, but still a dick move.
I approve of this reaction. Only a complete (repair) tool would do this and then say what he said. He can go play putt-putt.
I hope it was a giant staff bag no straps with all the training aids and it was the furthest green from the clubhouse.
Out of the will, straight to jail, perhaps deportation…”you are dead to me.”
I would’ve done the same as you. See ya, never playing with you again.
Every day we stray further from god
death by firing squad.
Loved your response
Toss his ass into the pond. What a dickhead
That’s like the lazy people who don’t return shopping carts, because “some employee will do that.” If I owned a course I’d have multiple rangers just going around monitoring stupid behavior like this with the authority to tell people to leave, even if they’re paying members. Figure there could be a three-strikes-and-you’re-out sort of policy.
What a POS . I would never interact with him without bringing this up for the rest of his life.What an asshole.
That’s when you punch him in the face and say “That’s why there are dentists”
Straight to jail
I remember my first golf lesson many years ago when metal spikes were the sole footwear in use. He took a few minute to explain the damage metal spikes can do to greens, how expensive that is and what to do to avoid it.
The lost art of teaching golf etiquette.
And then everybody clapped
I’d venture to guess this guy is a complete asshole in general, not just on the course.
I’m a turf worker. I can actually fix this fairly quickly. But he’s also saying “fuck you” to the other golfers using the course as well, not just the course and it’s workers.
Really putting down on the ball to get that good compression
Wait, but why did he damage the green in the first place?
Probably pissed you took him after they aerated the greens.
An eye for an eye. Scalp him. Tell him that’s why there are skin graft procedures.
He will never be invited to anything other again. He’s the guy who steals all the breaths at the restaurant on the way.
And don’t come back to the damn WoolsWorth!!!
It’s a shit golfer response
Take a chunk out of their body, then say “That’s why we have doctors”
Immediately to country club jail. No more invites. To anything.
Greenskeeper here: that would probably require a hex plug, as the size of the damage is too large to re-seed and feel good about. The problem is that they just aerified and sanded, and thus, the green is extra soft and not in the condition of doing such a repair. If I saw this while cutting cups in the morning, I would be heated.
Kick him off the tour!
Seriously though this is terrible behay
I mean, it does grow back
You took his bag out and sent him to the parking lot? Wtf kind of reaction is this? It makes me not believe you. And you took a photo of it in front of him? Just tell him that’s a dick move and never golf with him again if that’s how strongly you feel about it.
That guy definitely doesn’t put his shopping cart back!
This is shitty but you coming to Reddit to tattle on your family to uninvolved strangers is weird. What do you get out of this?
I had two shitty holes in the morning, hole 1 and 2, and I didn’t want to finish the 2 feet putt for a tripple so I angrily hit the ball one handed and accidentally made a dent in the green, size of a golf ball. Fuuuuukk, I said sorry to the guys in the ball, got my sand and did my best to fix it. Panic in one second because you know that you take care of the greens!
PS. The day after it look fine, puuh
Straight to jail
