Most annoying golf partners

[HickoryShaft]

Not sure if this has been linked already but made me laugh:

Which ones have you played with - or are you one of them?

http://www.golfdigest.com/golf/humor/18-most-annoying-golf-partners?

I have played with ball retriever guy on many many times but for me the first one 'Unsolicited Swing Advice Guy' is by far the worst of the bunch! Off the course or if I ask for some advice on a practice round I am very very happy to take on board suggestions but during a round it really does put you off.

(I have to clarify this has happened in society days & the like not club comps!)

I can be any or all of the following:

- Parking Lot Pro
- Mr. Magoo (yesterday's example was a lost scorecard)
- The Sulker (but only for a hole or two, I generally snap out of it)
- Overactive Bladder Guy

I hate:

- Unsolicited Swing Advice Guy
- The Jinx

The most annoying golfer I know is the typical "legend in his own living room", thinks he knows the game inside out, gives everyone advice and thinks he is best buddies with all the best players. Despite the fact that he is useless and no one can stand him.

On Saturday he actually had the audacity to question my game after I won a scratch league match 4&2, suggesting I didn't play well. Then he had a hissy fit at his son for being 1 over par for the 17 holes he played before winning (his son plays off 5).

And what's worse is he actually walks round the course with his 17 year old son during the match.

One very annoying man

I wish they had cart girls like that at my club.

Hehe, good stuff.

I play with Cell Phone Guy. His wife calls every round but even if she only texts he will call back, its never important and always frustrating.

I guess I am laser range finder guy.... I just like to gather information.... And try not to be Delusional Guy.

I'm probably the Delusional Guy as I'm scared to death of knocking it on the green and injuring someone, so I just end up waiting, sometimes unnecessarily.
I often play with the Jinx, yesterday he kept telling people who we saw on the course that I was on for a good score. It kept going through my head that I mustn't mess up now. Fortunately as he kept finding my ball for me I ended up with a 72, but I did hit some dodgy ones the nearer I got to the clubhouse. He very nearly Jinxed me into becoming a Lee Westwood.

Does he play at Shooters Hill? I think I know him!

Think I'm in danger of falling into The Vanity Handicapper group atm! (Think once upon a time I was "The Volcano" I wonder if there's a correlation between my carp golf and my normal balanced placid self?)

I'm sure I've played with all those characters at some point!

 

[Foxholer]

Seen many of those guys. Probably been a few too! Ball Retriever guy is named George! Nice Cart Girl yesterday!

I'm the overactive bladder guy. i think i was a tiger in a previous life as i cant resist (stop)marking my territory on every other hole!

I used to play with a fella like that stopped virtually every hole, he's now given the game up after having his prostate reduced using some sort of laser surgery

 

[tallpaul]

I some times play matchplay with a group of friends as a fourball in pairs. We have a rule that if the match is all square after 18, the pair who took the most toilet breaks loses. The ruling is known as losing on 'pissback'.

fixed! don't play behind him..............:ears:

 

[North Mimms]

I'm not keen on Analysis Guy (or Girl)
Commentates on every shot they just hit and the possible reasons that they hit the ball into the clag.

Quite hard to concentrate on your own tee shot when someone is muttering "must have had too much weight on left side, maybe I cocked my wrist too early / late, might have been standing too close to the ball, my socks don't go with my shirt.. etc etc"

played a society day last week with 3 yardage book guys. 5.5hr round easily, sad thing was we were still a hole ahead of the next tee time. in the baking hot heat.

kill me!!!

I’m probably about 5 of them, definitely sun block guy, if you had my freckley fair skin, you would be too. I am also over active bladder guy

I was draw against oblivion guy at the weekend, whom I have played at least 6 or 7 times.
He has no interest in anyone else’s game, but gives a running commentary on his every shot and every hard luck story. Then just in case you missed or forgot it, a re-run in the club house.

This is my most annoying guy

 

[cookelad]

The one I think they've missed out is "Lucky Git" - No one knows how the ball finds the fairway/green/cup and it probably doesn't deserve to but somehow that's exactly where it ends up! (In case you hadn't guessed I played with this guy over the weekend, the 3rd fella and I just laughed all the way round at the bounces and putts!)

I certainly had more than my share of good luck yesterday. Hugely pulled drive somehow found its way onto fairway! 2 putts going 15ft past hit the hole - with 1 going straight in for Birdie! Somehow got a lucky bounce and stayed out of water going for Skins win on 18 upand don for infrequent/rare Par though - as would normally have laid up from that distance.

I'm not to keen on 'Unsolicited Swing Advice Guy'... was playing a practice round on my own the other day and joined up with an old couple... after a bit of a slice on one of my drives she told me I should keep my right eye on the ball and that would solve all my problems... she must have been 70 odd and playing off about 50 but thought it was fine to share her wisdom... to be fair she didn't have a slice though now I come to think of it!

Do you expect me talk Goldfinger?
No Mr Bond, I'm going to repair your prostate.

Doesn't have the same ring to it really does it?
