Do I not like that....

My #1 bugbear is litter on the course.

People are happy to carry a whole load of chocolate and snack bars and a full bottle of liquid but won't
put the wrappers or empties back in their bag or the nearest bin.

Then there's banana skins - yes, they are biodegradable - but it takes months if not years to happen.

And don't get me started on smoker's litter.
 
Long par 3's, particularly any over 190yds although 180yds is still pushing it. They are just dull, don't test shorter iron play and are lazy design.
I get your point, but they can have their place.

My home course has five par 3s, and three of them are over 200 yards (and another is 180). But as it's a short course, those par 3s are its main defence.
At least they are stroke indexes 4, 6 and 7, so us normal mortals get a shot on them. Happy to walk away with a 4 on them any time.

If I have to hit more than a 5i on a par 3 it’s too long imo.
 
Yes .
I have been looking to buy some with socks on they are hard to find unless you want a stupid animal character.
Asbri is the company you're looking for.

Asbri golf headcovers

I have a couple, absolutely top quality.

Edit:
On a second look it appears they sell to the trade, you could contact them and ask who stocks their headcovers near you.

2nd edit:
If you search "Leatherette golf headcover" on ebay you will find some.

That means that I, and many others, will be taking driver on at least 16 holes, maybe 17. That's doesn't offer much variation off the tee, one of the great joys of a par 3.

I use this and they have versions for fairway woods and hybrids. I actually bought on Amazon.

 
Left handed players. It just looks stupid and it's hard work knowing where to stand when they tee off. They always seem a bit strange as well.
Absolutely no reason they can't learn to play the normal way round when they first start.
If I even see one playing a shot on another hole it totally destroys my my composure.

The course has plenty of short par 4s where you needn't use a driver.
May well get a shot on a long par 3.
A club local to me has 2 long par 3 with si’s 2 & 6
Yes, as I said in my original post, those three 200yd+ par 3s are SI 4, 6 and 7.
It's the 180yd par 3 with SI 17 that bothers me more.
