Is there anything more frustrating!!?
Choosing the right option off the tee. Then topping a 6 iron 50 yards.

Thought you'd have got over that by now!! I know where the OP is coming from. Teed the ball up on our 4th today and twice it toppled off for no apparent reason. When it finally perched there and I was ready to split the fairway I knobbled it 100 yards along the ground. Fortunately I'd left my bag up the fairway close to the exit from the 3rd and the ball was right next to it so my pace of play improved. Stuck a hybrid from 200 yards onto the green (and then three putted). Double frustration on one hole

I played with a 16 h/c yesterday in a comp and he turned on 23 points then topped loads of shots scoring 12 on the back 9. He was unhappy!

Hitting it straight out of the hosel and skewing it
- into a water hazard
- into a gorse bush
- out of bounds

You recalling my last outing at H4H Smiffy:rofl:
No mate. My round with Chris (Golfmmad) at his invitational the other Sunday.
Had 8 blobs, and 3 points, off the first 10 holes.
And then it all went to pieces.
One of the guys we were playing with (who I'd never met before) asked "Do you always swing that fast?"
"Only when I'm angry" I replied.

Topping it 20yds into deep clag; trying to hack it out, and ending up with an 8 - on a par 3.. Was obvious from the moment I found the ball after my tee shot that back to the tee and play three was far and away the common sense thing to do. Frustratingly, the common sense option often only seem obvious after the fact.

Don't tend to top it with irons anymore, but what I ready do hate more than anything in golf is creaming a drive down the middle then leaving the second shot short of the green.

Nothing more frustrating than smashing a drive, leaving a wedge into the green, short siding yourself and walking away with a double or worse. Unbelievably annoying. A bad shot is annoying, but a bad shot that means you fail to cash in on a good position is very frustrating.

There are so many things that frustrate me, and I wouldn't say any of the are more annoying than the other.
A good tee shot, followed by a shanked, topped, or duffed approach is bad. Hitting the green and following it up with a 3-putt. Yesterday I hit the edge of the green on the second shot of a SI1 par-4. I then duffed my chip, and 3-putted for a double-bogey 6.
I agree that not cashing in on a good position is horrifically frustrating. Especially when someone else in your group has played the hole badly, but still gets a better or similar score to you.
Having an 18th hole collapse after a good round in a medal is probably the worse feeling there is. Yesterday, a fellow was 5-under nett going onto the 18th, and he had an 11! He went from having a definite win to not even having a podium position, all in one hole. He was fuming!

Two things I know about my game...
1) I am unlikely to choose the "sensible" course management option.
2) When I do it has as much chance of going wrong as the aggressive choice!
Pet hate - taking less club to lay up short of some hazard and then hitting the ball into it anyway.

You got it in one! - when my PP looks at me incredulous that I'm taking driver, I just reply "if I knew I could hit a 6 iron straight, I'd use a 6 iron, but as I cant be sure, I'll still to driver thanks!"

Ah thats not too bad.
Unless people are single figure handicaps then being safe of the tee is just pointless.

Did it 4 times yesterday! 3 times with a hybrid and once with a 5 iron. Also hit a hybrid 2nd shot for position on a par 5, that ended up in a pond. Finished the round 5 over par... 13 pars and 5 bogies, all of which were horrible chunks.

Having 130 to the flag so going with a 9 iron. Hit it right at the flag to then realise you took your SW out of the bag! This happened to me yesterday.
Being nearest the pin ... and three putting. Also happened to me yesterday.
