Most annoying golf partners

[Spark.]

I can be annoying swing analysis guy, though only when playing with my dad. We are both playing roughly the same and give each other advice on how our swing looked or what we looked to be doing wrong. I wouldnt do it with anyone else though, just wondering if it annoys my Da' now though haha.

I played a guy in a comp recently and beforehand several players had said to me "Oh, good luck with that".
The first thing he did was complain about the handicap difference though we'd never met or played.
During the round he constantly gave me specific instructions as to where I was to stand when he took his shot, waved me completely off the green before he'd putt, when I outdrove him on one fairway he rang the club pro to renegotiate his handicap on the basis he'd not signed his card in the last Saturday comp - successfully (going from 11 to 12), questioned my handicap if I hit a good shot and more than once told me I had a tricky putt to make.
As a newish member I knew his handicap switch was illegal (and the phonecall is against club rules) and I knew I had a slim chance in the comp so I tolerated his behaviour and didn't let it affect me.
An argument would have affected me (on the course).
He finally got me on the 15th after wittering all the way around.
A few days later I was describing his antics, without naming him, when two members who overheard shouted "Oh, that'll be Stoney" to laughter all around.
Since then two players have related stories to me about a "PITA" to play and I've said "Stoney?" and we've laughed aloud.
You might be pleased to know that there are players who have firmly put him in his place.

That just sounds like the type of guy who'd be a complete prat in all aspects of life lol.

He's one of two names that people won't write theirs alongside on a comp sheet.
I've partnered the other one too.
He constantly gives advice and says wise things like "in time you'll learn it's all about course management".
He once came alongside me and said "Right just lob a wedge up onto the green - take your time".
I took a 7 for a chip and run.
As I struck my ball he said "Never mind" and walked to his ball without watching the outcome.
My shot went into the heart of the green - he hit a tree.
A priceless moment.
I find him quite harmless but he really gets to some members.

Sounds like he loves the sound of his own voice, that yin. Talks about course management, then tries to over play?

I am probably more than one of those guys.

A couple really spring to mind

If i have a particularly bad hole, i sometimes turn into air counter and my bladder is as big as an orange.

So bad so, i once played with a distant relative of a family friend. Years later my mum bumped into him and she casually asked "have you ever met my son David?

He replied

"Oh yeah i know him" "swears like a trooper and pi**es like a racehorse"

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'.

That's a belter. lol

I think Im number 6 - Fresh Air Counter!
