My buddy Rick ran into the same thing at his course in Peoria (they have a little extra hole they call the bonus hole too). He got paired up with a guy who flat out walked off and sat in the cart rather than play it, and Rick said the whole mood went sour for the beers after. Here is the thing that bugs me about Dale's side: the handicap excuse is kind of weak, since nobody is posting a four man all square match to their handicap anyway (match play results do not go in there). The course spent money to build the hole and the starter sent you out there, so skipping it is basically telling the rest of the group their time does not matter. Rick still plays with that guy sometimes but he says he never lets him anchor the bet again.

Man I used to be the same way, figured a good set of plans should tell the whole story. Then we started tracking our own rework and a bunch of it came back to stuff that never made it from the office to the guy running the job. That one pager thing sounds dumb simple but it clearly works.
