Golf Etiquette . . . another golfer picked up my ball… three times.?

I’m curious, I golf several times a week at a semi-private club in southern california. Last week something odd happened. A lady who was playing a few holes behind me kept coming into my fairways and picking up my ball, inspecting it, then placing it back down. The first time I asked her kindly to not pick up my ball. I don’t really care personally, but she gave me this snotty look and drove off… Okay, fine. I hit another tee shot and sure as crap this lady pops out from the previous hole and picks up my ball again, this time she tosses it down!
I ride over to her, tell her to not touch my ball – to never touch anyone’s balls (hah hah) unless she’s absolutely sure the ball belongs to her.So it happens a third time . . .I call the pro shop from my cell phone, the ranger comes out and tells the lady to leave the course. Granted I play there at the least three times a week so they know me, but what sort of idiot was she? Was I wrong for having her kicked off the course

Unless its a hot cart girl, I dont like people playing with my balls on the course either.

Seriously, you were in the right. You were probably alot nicer to her than I would have been. Pro V1s are 4 bucks apeice. If its not your ball, keep your hands off of it. You can identify a ball without moving it.
