Thanks everyone for the positive responses. That makes me feel a lot better about bringing the dog on the course with me in the future! Here's a dog pic as a thank you to everyone 

Hi Everyone,
I was just curious how most of you would feel if a player you were paired with brought their service dog with them to the course? I usually tend to play on deal times in my local area and am paired with other players or groups. I prefer to play with my dog if I'm not with friends as she alerts me to, interrupts and provides assistance for occasional balance and vision loss issues. The dog is familiar with golf courses, does not interfere with wildlife, set foot in hazards or bunkers or on the putting greens. My primary concerns are slowing pace of play for other players by walking instead of riding and taking the time to give the dog commands between shots so she knows what to do.  Also just making sure everyone is comfortable as I know some people aren't too fond of dogs. 
What would you think if you were paired with someone playing who has a service dog accompany them and what else could I maybe do to make it as easy going for another player or group?

I got a bit carried away buying second and selling second hand clubs and now am set with two full sets I’m really excited

Honestly, I would not have a problem with it at all, I'm a dog lover and if walking alone, I would love to take the pup with me.
On your case he is not a pet, he is a lovely tool for your well-being.

He looks like he's doing a very good job .. glad it worked out! 👍

That's awesome! You guys could play with me any time!

Take Dead Aim

That goes for me also

Got out for my first day of golf this year with the service dog today. A few course employees said I couldn’t bring the dog at first but were fine after I explained service dogs. The guy I played with was really cool with everything so that was great.

You are correct. One of the more difficult parts of having a service dog in my opinion is that people don't really understand the ADA laws and the amount of people who abuse the law can make it tough on those who rely on their dogs and follow the laws. As of now there is no official registry or certification process so that leads to a lot of people pretending to have trained service dogs or people distorting or misunderstanding the regulations for a emotional support or therapy animal and passing them off as a service dog.

Goes with me late Nights on the weekend when very few people are on the course. Golf course owners love him and he displays proper golf course etiquette.

Thanks! That makes sense. I'll be excited to see the results once this is all over and they have time and the capability to do that testing once again.

Testing hasn't gotten started for this.   Last time I was there,  the previous winners were available and they were working on processing the data for this years winner.   a couple of days later,  got the email that all testing had been shutdown.
