Resident know-alls who comment on how it's done but are in a safe place not to make a mistake themselves, particularly those who comment on your chipping, putting or bunker play when their ball is close to the hole.
And boy, do I hate head covers.

My favourite one yesterday after I blocked a drive out right on our Par 5, 6th hole. After the round guy I playing with starts telling me what I'm doing wrong with my swing and why I'm blocking the ball 🤔,
Considering it was the only fairway I missed all round unlike him who hit every drive straight right up to that point and after.

I've a good friend. Great off the course but plays off 21 did when I started and still does now. He has no problem telling me how bad my putting, chipping, irons and drivers are.
In the plus side, he rates my 3 Wood.....

Commentators who say "He couldn't have placed that any better".
I bet he could have!

Going to see your coach, who tells you everything is fine and you are hitting it well, then going out and playing as bad as you possibly could

PPs/FCs who give a commentary on their game - and especially those who get it wrong! Yes I can see that you missed the green but no, it wasn't because it had a fade on it. It was because you started it on the wrong line and you effing sliced it.
Bad back causing me to miss club champs and other events in a bid to play Addington and Sunningdale is a semblance of health

Players who search for balls during a game.... even though they haven't lost one! 
the 3 ball who were out in front of us not allowing the single guy through, despite them losing a hole on the group in front of them. poor guy was standing around on every shot. it was his first go at the new course as well
LOL one of the guys in our group treats a lost ball like a family heirloom, will look for it every time he passes a spot on the course he prev lost a ball..... very annoyingPlayers who search for balls during a game.... even though they haven't lost one!

yup they should never have banned that orange bloke from the tango'd adverts. He'd be very useful for alerting the offender to the errors of their ways

Hitting your driver well all round until the last 2 holes and putting on in the trees (no pen played out) and the other cost an unplayable

Playing with someone who is completely pissed. Happened to me couple of years back (playing the Emirates Faldo so it was costing me a lot of money). Me and my cuz were joined up with a couple of members into a fourball. One was completely rat-arsed.
The only rather amusing moment was when he was to tee off on one of the early holes - he took driver and was doing the 'Billy Connolly drunk man' walk around the tee trying to stabilise himself so he could get to the teeing area. He got stable and eventually got the ball teed up - then addressed the ball pretty much as a right-hander as he would do - and was ready to start his swing when his buddy said - mate - you've got my driver - and I'm a left-hander...
But as things went on it got really tedious as he was slumping over and sometimes falling off their buggy - the course marshalls took him back to the clubhouse after the 9th.

Shotgun starts. At the end of the round there just isn't enough space in the locker room, there are queues for the showers, bar, food, etc. Nice in theory to get everyone in the clubhouse together, but a pain in practice.
my son in law does this and it drives me nuts!
he also has a habit of telling me how I hit a shot and what I did wrong and more often than not he is completely wrong.

Yeah it should work very well, but its not often the facilities match the format. Everyone gets back to the clubhouse within say a 30 minute spread or so but 70 blokes into 3 showers just doesn't go. It seems to work fine if there's a minimum of 6 showers
I like a shotgun start as the bar is lively but this yr for our captains day they decided the cards should be entered onto the computer, one computer, very slow, 100 or so golfers all at once
. Surprisingly enough many didn't bother entering their scores as waiting an age for a 0.1 increase was the same as not waiting an age and getting the same.

The player in your group who makes the most inane jokey comments - all of the time - and laughs at them as the rest of us stand around groaning. Groaning that is until we miss a very short putt on the 1st and our friend jokingly comments - 'you wont want to be doing that all the way round - ha chortle ha'....
