I know you are being serious, but I seriously LOLed at this while thinking of all of the hacks I see playing the back tees at courses and shanking every tee shot.
Anyone is allowed to play golf at a public course (courses got to make that $$$ by overcrowding them) in the USA without any lessons or licensing as long as you have your own set of clubs. Which leads to a scenario where there are so many hacks that slow up play on courses that it can be very frustrating to golf sometimes. Don't worry about what other people think of you and your friend on the golf course, chances are they suck at golf and are aholes.
btw I am a hack but I at least play fast which is the most important thing.
re: Wild Horse
OP I have played this course before and hated it. Too many narrow fairways with sharp doglegs and they all seem to be crowned in the middle of the fairway. I hit a couple of balls right down the middle only to watch them roll off of the fairway into a garbage area or water. The personnel there are friendly at least.
