Ever get that feeling when you just wanna punch someone?

[AmateurSwinger]

Decided to go out tonight for a quick 11. Me and my mate used his aunties buggy to be back for england. Head to the first tee and there's a pair of absolute ***** teeing off, none of course in any suitable golf attire, including shoes. One then proceeds to hit a nice fade, not so bad after all, they probably won't hold us up. Wrong! the second 'player' (I use that phrase lightly) says 'I know will, let's see the difference between the tees.' He goes to the comp tee, duffs it, goes to the yellows, duffs it, go to the ladies, hits it down the middle. Then he goes on to say 'I'll play off the ladies tees tonight, obviously doesn't have a brain cell. All is well until the 5th when they decide to have a little rest on the 5th tee bench. We play our 2nd and 3rd on the 4th and still no movement. Then we hole out and still no movement. Until we eventually get to the 5th and one of them says 'best tee off now then!' I reply 'hold up, are you takin the urine' and all hell breaks loose on the 5th tee box. We called it quits and walked off, leaving those 'things' to play 'golf', if you can call it that.'

I should really buy a punchbag!

I know you shouldn't have to but couldn't you have just skipped past a hole or two?

 

[AmateurSwinger]

We didn't realize they hadn't tee off until we'd holed out and I was past angry at that point to skip a hole.

I generally try to avoid any/all confrontation when I have a golf club in hand... you just never know :mmm:

Feel sorry for you, I take it this was a municipal course?

 

[AmateurSwinger]

No it was my own course, hate the fact that every tom dick and Harry can turn up and pay and play!

 

[Hobbit]

You were in a buggy. Scoot past them to the next tee.

 

[rosecott]

You really can't expect everyone on the course to know that you are in a hurry to play quickly then go to watch the football!

They probably thought we'll have a nice, relaxed round while everyone else is watching football.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I can understand the frustration but confrontation can't be good andhad you carried on would no doubt impacted your play. I guess its the price you pay when anyone can turn up and play. There will always be the odd bad three ball that makes it a royal pain

 

[the hammer]

why buy a punchbag!!!!!! there was a free one in front of you, should've run them over, then gone to the next tee and avoid all confrontation.

You were out of order no way to speak to someone like that, you had played 3 holes so what they did at the first should not have bothered you as you must not have been playing for at least half an hour until then and they must have thought they had plenty of time but to go off on one at someone who has the right to play in front of you is bad manners and plain Rude.

Will you be my punchbag? I don't really like you that much!

Are you sure? A guy proceeds to tee off from three separate tee boxes on the 1st and they then waited until the OP arrived on the tee to decide to play. I'd have asked to play through as well. Can't see the issue but I guess on how the OP worded it and what happened after that

 

[Scadge]

Where's home cos I want to make sure I never play there if they let folks like that on ?

 

[beggsy]

If somebody had come to me and spoke to me like you did to them I'm afraid you would have been my punch bag

 

[AmateurSwinger]

Considering these guys were mid 40's approx I don't think it's appropriate for them to threaten 2 15 year olds.

 

[bobmac]

Just out of interest, was there anyone in front of them at the 5th, it might have been the reason why they didn't tee off. And are you allowed to drive a buggy at 15 ?

 

[pbrown7582]

surely if you watched them start on the first there will have been plenty of opportunity to ask politely if you can go through before the 5th tee?

imagine they didnt take kindly to to 15 year olds in a buggy rudely speaking to them.

Sounds to me as if there is fault from all parties here?

 

[Heidi]

lol - why get angry?! All you need to do is ask nicely

last night 3 young lads teed off before me and OMID and they duffed every shot. On the 6th par 5 I couldnt take it anymore - they were duffing more shots just in front of the reds - i shouted to ask if we could get thro while they looked for one of their balls. We both played screamers of tee shots, both layed up within inches of each other in front of the burn, then I played my third onto the green - nothing nicer than showing them how its done! better than punching anything anyday!

shame the rest of my round wasnt so perfect - hey ho

 

[sydney greenstreet]

Will you be my punchbag? I don't really like you that much!

So i say something you do not like the answer to and you want a go at me ? sounds the kind of person who needs anger management sessions. And as you are only 15 go ask your Mum or Dad if you are allowed to play with the big boys.

Aged 15 and you want to go round in a buggy? Absolutely pathetic. Carry your clubs and polish your manners lad.

If you are still angry and frustrated then head for your room and relax with your highly prized but very well thumbed copy of Razzle from April 2009.

It is a better option than wishing for a violent confrontation on a golf course of all places....
