Was supposed to play in a ball with two other persons, rented a buggy for that since I usually prefer to walk. When waiting to tee off I was alone at tee, after a while one of the staff came driving up and informed me that I had one four ball and one three ball in front of me at the course. I asked where the other two players, supposed to tee off with me, where but could not comprehend the answer. Nevertheless, after four holes I had caught up with the four ball that was ahead of me, consisting of four gentlemen. I watched them tee off and eventually when they first located their balls and then hit their respective second shots at the fifth hole. Since it was quite evident that I would spend my afternoon waiting at each remaining hole I choose to cancel my round and head back to the club house. I didn’t feel like spending the last day of my golf vacation like this. Back at the club house I explained what I had experienced, since they of course understood that I had not played 18 holes, but it wasn’t received with any degree of explanation or concern?
I think it is fair to expect that the planning is somewhat better as well as that golfers show curtesy to other players and let them pass sufficiently when possible. And by the way, where was the free meal included in the green fee? The last mentioned I could have lived with, since my reason for coming to Dubai/RAK was to play golf.
