Golf Random Irritations

[Beedee]

Getting told to pick up the pace when I was in the first 4-ball of the day and the group behind were no where near.

On my course the card says a 4-ball should get around in 4.15. Almost all our comps are in 4 balls. The first group out was a 3 ball and I was in the first 4 ball. We were playing at a pace to finish our 4 ball in about 3.50, and the group behind hadn't had to wait on a single shot all day.

[Griffsters]

People spending ages lining and re-lining up their ball on the green.

I knew that was coming!

Playing safe and ending up worse off than if you had played dangerous and taken a pen

The old hook an iron off the tee when taking it for safety is a speciality of mine🤔😡

Oh yes love that.. did that last year in a charity day off the 1st.. nice hybrid off the tee straight out of bounds lol

This year laid up to a pond for 2 to safely get on green .. laid up short.. missed the approach into the pond

That guy that you arrange a KO with who cancels on the morning of the game for something urgent having come up ( but you know it’s just because a bit of rain is forecast)

 

[Bazzatron]

Playing a new course and looking for the non existent map on the scorecard. I'll just guess shall I and you fill the card with advertisements for tat.

Also a specialty of mine. Did exactly this in a club match recently 5 iron for safety snap hook intonthe crap 🙄

Or my other one is our 12th OOB right, leave driver in the bag hit 3 wood. Goes straight right OOB. Next time round 4h, next time round 5 iron guess where they all went as well😳 I'd take anything for a hook there 😂

 

[inc0gnito]

People not replacing divots

 

[Sports_Fanatic]

People who don't buy drinks when they get a hole in one

And why when the pros do it does the beer go to the media tent, surely they could do something for the fans (proportion of them) to celebrate.

Mine from last week, clubs having paths as in play so penalty drop. That will be lovely playing off a stone path with my new clubs!

“Gimmes” in roll ups stroke play - yes it’s only a £1, but a player doesn’t have the right to give a putt on behalf of the other 20 players. We play AMAM ( yes it’s boring but , but it’s difficult getting them to play anything else) in two well attended mid week Roll Ups and whilst it could be argued that giving 6” putts speeds up the game, those 6” putts can often develop into 2’ putts.

These were just the ones I didn't need to think about. Wait till I start thinking about rules and "cheating".

What's a helicopter mother?

 

[Dan2501]

Duck hooks
Groups who follow eachother round like an under 7s football team chasing the ball instead of spreading out and going to their ball so they're ready to play
People who leave their trolleys in dumb places that mean they take longer than necessary to get out of the way
Patrick Reed
Cigarette butts littered on the course

I wondered that too and was too scared to google it at work

 

[garyinderry]

What's a helicopter mother?

Never heard of the phrase but I assume it means they are always hovering around. Haha
