A Tale of Two Greens

A Tale of Two Greens

The top green is the chipping green at my local muni and the bottom is the putting green. There is a saying, if common sense were common everyone would have it.  Well, five minutes before I took this picture, I was about to grab my last golf ball, by the way the ball I'm talking about is on the bottom picture, suddenly one person walked over, then the next, then you had three to four people on that small green, then two minutes later another person showed up and began chipping for a grand total of five.

Meanwhile, the putting green is twice as big as the chipping green and for ten minutes the ball in the photo was the lone being on the green.  WHY?  Come on people, have some sense and some etiquette and head over to the putting green, especially if you are a high handicapper.  You need to spend more time on your putting anyway, so don't be stubborn just because you want to get your chipping in. This shows that you maybe an impatient golfer, and besides fear and anger, impatience is another enemy of a good golfer.
