Irritating habits

People who click their fingers to try and make the ball stop on the green.

Who did this first, and why?

And why have so many dorks followed suit?
 
I'm like Smiffy - I shoot off into the distance when leaving the tee - leaving PPs behind. I stop to chat and they are 50+ yds behind me.

That of others? PPs not making any attempt to stand in the HNSP (maybe too much to expect) or further back on the tee looking down my line when I'm teeing off :)
 
Maybe not so much irritating as seemingly confusing to many - after finishing for instance a par4 hole that I get a shot on I will say 4 for 3 for 3 - and I get blank confused looks :)

That's up there with what I find irritating :-)

I find it hard not to say something after a pp hits a shot - it's easy when it's a good one but feels rude to not say anything when it's a bad one. So I'll probably say something inane like "that's ok" or "it's not in any trouble" etc...probably very irritating!

See, that does irritate in a weird way. If I'm marking your score, all I need to know is your score. I can work out the rest!

Yes that is irritating - people can fill out a scorecard and all you need to do it say the gross score

People who go through a PSR for a practise swing. I have seen it done.

Used to play occasionally with a bloke who would go through a PSR and practise swings... and then go and get a club. Lots of staring, some lining up, some stance checking, and a couple of swings. And then he would go and get a club and do it all over again.

Lovely bloke, but Lord he was painful to watch sometimes.
 
Don't understand why poker chip markers are infuriating. I know it does annoy a few so I always carry a smaller coin type marker especially if my ball is close to the hole or another ball. I find it easier to get out of my pocket. Simple as that
 
People who say "I've paid my money, I'll take as long as I want".. Not in my game fellas, you'll play at the required rate and you'll like it..
 
Those well meaning folk who offer commiserations when you have a bad hole, saying things like "Bad luck" or similar when luck had nothing to do with it, it was just down to plain old piss poor play.......
 
Played on Tuesday with thre elderly gents, the eldest said in a colonial manner " I can hear you whispering " and he stepped away from his tap in. And glanced at us. I profusely apologised, another PP who was one of the other guys regular PP was smiling his head off.
At the next hole, I had a twenty footer and the old guy was telling another PP how he has not brought his Best game today. I never had the balls to pull him up about talking.
 
Pink castle tees. Nothing much wrong with the tee but... There are certain users of them who, after swinging at the ball, are more concerned about finding the tee than they are watching where their ball is going.

That'll be me then :)

Next time I'll comment that it was an utter rubbish shot and fully got what it deserved :)

You didn't mention "That's a Par" yet :) :) :)

You have just described a work colleague I have a game with regularly,while searching for the tee,I often hear the phrase.
Did you see where my ball went?
