Monthly poll time: infuriating scenarios + number of handicap rounds..

[Achilles]

I'd like to play as many comps as possible this year - feel like I've got some catching up to do having not played for so long. Would like to get the handicap down into the teens so need to make the most of the qualifiers.

As for my most infuriating scenario, it would probably involve waiting all week to play only to be stuck behind a slow four ball from hell. But I'd get on with things and be on fire until the 18th tee....when I'd proceed to sky my £300 driver, spend the next 5 shots getting out of the rough, and proceed to 3 putt from 6 feet with the clubhouse in sight!!

In all seriousness though, I think throwing a score away right at the end / 3 putting is what gets my back up the most. I can cope witht the others (just about). Cocking it up at the death can ruin my mood for days!

slow fourball for me. I get a bit bored and feel very tired when having to wait for every shot. I also have too long to think about stuff and can talk myself into the wrong option (am a firm believer in your first thought usually being right for your own game).

The others are frustrating, but I can be philosophical about each of them - weather happens, sometimes the course is closed, and every week there will be at least one shot I feel bad about (isn't that the point of this stupid game?!)

Being a fair weather golfer, rain stopping play after weeks of looking forward to playing is my biggest annoyance.

I play maybe 16 full rounds a year. The 3rd one of the year was meant to be last Thursday. I had been getting excited for a least a week, and then on the morning HID is soooooo sick I'm on kids duty!
I love them all and had agreat day with the kids, but really frustrated that I could not play!!!!

Where is the "all of the above" option? They all make me want to carry out seriously violent murder.

How can slow play be worse than no play?!
