Experienced my first real look at the growth of the sport over the weekend.
We started early like we usually do and moved right along. Around hole 13 you could look back behind us and it looked like ants crawling everywhere. A group finishing up on hole 14 approached us staring at their phones and looking confused. Asked them what they were looking for and they said hole 13's tee pad. I guess they played 14's basket from the 12 pad? When we got to 17 before we could tee off two guys approached the amateur pad (which nobody uses) and teed off so we had to wait for them to finish out before we teed off. The group that was looking for 13's pad earlier teed off from the amateur pad as well behind us. Also saw a couple of guys standing on one of the pads for a very long time trying to see where the basket was. It is a blind shot so you can't see it from the pad but they stood there looking so long that my group played two full holes before those guys ever threw.
A guy teeing off on an adjacent hole sent a 150' forehand with a Colosus out along the right side of his fairway nearly hitting my buddy on our tee pad. Nobody shouted fore or heads up or anything and it was pretty close. Played through a group of eight people but at least they seemed to realize they were taking forever and offered for us to play through.
