The situation was not typical spotting. He was abusive to a player on my card, demanded to know his name for saying the the spotter couldn't assess courtesy strokes which he threatened. He wouldn't clear from the hole when I said we were trying to finish our hole, he said, "I don't care." As opposed to spotting, when we were looking for a disc he called out, "45 seconds and he was going to start the clock." I asked him to move from my line of sight when I was throwing my birdie putt. Even "Bill" the tall, white haired OG PDGA official came over to the hole from 18 asking what all the yelling was for and said they'd had other complaints from the previous day and day 3. I am all for giving someone the benefit of the doubt and not blowing things out of proportion but this was not one of those cases. He was out of line. He affected play. He chose to escalate during the round instead of address any issue after completing the hole. It was not professional and it was something that should be called out.
