Can someone help define dangerous play in golf?

It would help if we wait until it's clear to play. Those other players are always getting in the way aren't they? lol..

My definition of dangerous play in golf is when there are golfers out on the golf course spraying balls everywhere and creating an injury waiting to happen for those that think of golf as a courteous sport with ettiquette as its main code of conduct. I see golfers that are playing several balls at a time and only playing the best one. They slow down play and they do not seem to care if they hit someone. That is dangerous.
Golf is about etiquette and personal integrity. You should always wait until it is clear to hit your next shot. That being said if you are teeing off on a par 5 and the group ahead of you is hitting their 3d shot to the green please hit your tee shot. You are not going to hit them unless you hit a tee shot 400 plus. Also when playing your 2nd shot on a par 5 please do not wait till the green is clear. The odds are they are not in your range unless you hit an absolutely perfect shot and even then the ball will maybe if you are lucky roll on to the green. If that does happen simply walk up to the green and apologize. But be ready for that group to watch you putt to see it you make the eagle.
Dangerous play is defined as playing the ball down on the edge of a 100 foot cliff, right next to an active snake bed, and during the climax of a fierce lightning storm.....all while sober.
You should wait until the players are out of range. Etiquette would suggest that you should also wait until they are out of sight (still out of range), so you are not pushing the group ahead. Be careful not to play too slow though.
Yes, you never want to take your next shot if you risk hitting or even landing your ball in the group ahead of you. Make sure you consider the bounce of the initial landing-- some fairways are firmer than others, and your ball may take a healthy leap forward. There is nothing ruder than putting when a group from behind rolls their ball onto the green, or drops it outside of the green. This demonstrates a lack of patience on their part, and in golf, patience is just part of the game. With that said, ensure you play a decent pace as not to hold up the group behind you. Public courses become crowded with warmer weather, and frustration builds when waiting on a group. Not to worry, a marshall should politely inform you if he feels your pace is too slow.
If you are at a par 5 and you are still 250-300 yds. out and your an (Amateur) I'd say you can hit up with no problems if the foursome in front is still on the green. If your say 150-200 yds. out then I would wait till all is clear. Quick play is great as long as your playing safe, and if the group is playing slow ask them if you can pass at the next par 3. "MOST" real golfers will let you, once in awhile you get the idiots that are out to screw up everyones day!
