I know with the shared nature of a lot of courses, this has to happen often, but I don't know the etiquette.
The 18th at my favorite local course tees over a small pond, about 150', then about another 60' up a steep hardscrabble bank to the goal. My typical play is to chuck my Atlas at a low angle to skid up the hill to putting distance. Tuesday, I had just gotten to the tee, and an older guy came walking down the hill and staked out a fishing spot right on my line. It wasn't much of a decision for me. I don't have the skills to take a different route at this point, so I just bagged it. But if I had a little more confidence in my shot, even if I knew it might pass fairly close to him, is there an established etiquette?
