Better stop safely and perhaps get a rude note from the Airport Authority.
Full Reverse thrust use would create a situation where the company would pay a large fine and the crew penalised for it. “Airmanship” would have been to let the FO land the aircraft as briefed (probably reverse would have stayed in idle) and then forget all about stopping at golf and reduce braking to get off at foxtrot or full length.
Stopping was not an issue, plenty of runway. If stopping was an issue then of course go full reverse.
