The Broadlands is a terrific layout. Every experience there has been enjoyable. Today’s round, with two other players, was trending the same way. Then we reached the back nine, only to find ourselves playing behind a sixsome—yes, six players. They were apparently playing a three team best ball. The sixsome never considered waving us through. They seemed more intent on bumping their carts into other carts, etc.

We played the front nine in 1:35. The back nine took 2:15. We played the final four holes in the rain, waiting on every hole.

How were six players allowed to play together? Was there no one who could marshall play?

This experience will cause me to carefully consider playing The Broadlands again—a course I greatly enjoy—anytime soon.
