On my own Waiting for the green (4 ball) to clear on a Par 5 for my 2nd shot 203yds. And 2 players behind decide to tee off and a ball lands 20yds short of me. Then on the last, again waiting for the 4 ball to finish off and I got 151, they tee’d off and a ball landed 15yds short of me!
What is it with players who do this? No need for it! Just ignorant arseholes.
Mind you, it fired me up, hit it within a foot of going in for eagle for the tap in bird and level par round.

And breathe. As someone who has been hit off the tee after just playing my second and not even putting my club into the bag I get the frustration

Blooming freezing today, and my Zippo hand warmer ran out after 2.5 hours.
More fuel required next time......

Being asked to join a roll up tomorrow knowing they only play twelve holes and on a swamp of a course (aren't they all at the mo) and having to use a mat off the fairway. LOL That won't happen once clear of the clubhouse !!! LOL
Looking forward to my golf at the weekend after a busy week in work only to see the changes of playing on Sunday have gone down the tube with the storm coming in. Even if its open (doubtful if it tips down overnight on Saturday) the rain is due to last all day and gale force winds so not an appetising prospect and can't see many of the roll up venturing out. Guess a lie in and pub lunch then

Manufacturers who embroider numbers on hybrid head covers, rather than use number tags. I recently bought a second hand Mizuno MX-700 hybrid for my spare carry half set. It didn’t have a head cover ... no problem, I thought, I’ll just get one on eBay. But no, turns out Mizuno always embroider numbers on and I can find every MX-700 number for sale except the very one I want. Why not have one head cover with interchangeable tags? OK, not life and death, but it nevertheless bugs me.

lol, don't talk to me about headcovers. In the most month I've had both my putter headcovers fall off so I've had to purchase another one on Ebay. My two G25 hybrid headcovers sit at home as well - one of them used to fall off regularly, and the other one had the number missing so I could never remember which of the two hybrids that one was. They're old and second hand anyway so I decided sod the headcovers I'm better off without!

It’s my own flipping fault ... it shouldn’t be a problem, but I’m anal about having the manufacturer’s original head cover.

I do slightly get it. When I had my old second hand G30 driver from an American Golf outlet which is now closed, they didn't have any G30 headcovers so they gave me a G one instead. That always annoyed me... the G30 covers were the nicely shaped ones and the G cover they gave me was the rubbish soft flimsy style. Make matters worse, my mate also had a G30 but with the correct cover on it making me jealous.

The design and quality of head covers certainly vary greatly.
The more I think about it, I’m OCD about a lot of things when it comes to golf. If I concentrated less on them and more on my course management, I might stop my handicap going the wrong way! ???

I don't often get annoyed but you certainly got me going.
What made you presume that it was a slow round - or that I am a slow player ?
Neither are true.
I suggest you read your inane posts before you press "Post reply"

I think he was joking man...

Ping hybrid head-covers where all the 'plastic' has crumbled and flaked off, yet the Driver cover of 4 years older is still fine !

Certainly was joking - thought the multiple smileys might have given the game away ?

There are no smileys on the posting.
If there were I would certainly have taken it differently.
I accept the sentiment of your reply, thank you.

He added five laughing emojis, they must have just not displayed on whatever device you're using.

Definitely none on my iPad.
I do see emojis on postings, but not on this occasion.
Thanks for the update - much appreciated - lesson learnt. ??
