most embarrassing playing partners!!

[Nobbi]

I played a couple of days ago with 2 lads from work and another member. 1 of the lads had gave it all the talk about how he was off single figures in his teens (now 29) but he hasn't played in 5 years.
He rocks up with a decent powakaddy, all mizuno gear etc. He defo looked the part.
We soon realised he had probably never stepped foot on a golf course before.
Blowing raspberrys during tee offs, walking over people's lines. By 6th we were literally begging him to reign it in abit.
The 7th, he pulls his shot off the fairway and lands on the 8th green. People are teeing off on that hole, he strolls over and attempts to hit some kind of rescue wood off the green. Digs about an 8 foot deep divot then starts swearing and kicks his ball up the fairway.
The worst bit was on the 9th when he said his arse was getting abit saucy, pulls out a pair of socks from his bag, wipes his arse with them and chucks them in a bush. He shot 72 on 9 holes.
Literally the worst playing partner EVER!!

Cannot compete with that. Had a playing partner with a real temper. Stopped playing with him when he snapped his driver over his knee

By the time he'd taken a chunk out of the green with a hybrid I'd have junked him and told him for foxtrot oscar and refused to play with him anymore

We all picked up on that hole. Went over and repaired the green. We knew the guys teeing off and explained our situation. The other lad from work had a real barney with him about it and the bloke has since quit work too. Which is obvs handy because we aren't too pleased about it. Then the socks on the 9th.... that's just bad upbringing!!

My mate can be bad to play with. Decent guy and on his day a decent golfer but soon as his heads gone their is no talking him back into the game.. we will be laughing and joking and suddenly he will get annoyed with himself because his games gone a bit iffy and go all defensive and stand off ish..

last round we played he left after 10 holes on one of my society days where I had invited him as a guest.. he was having an awful round but come on put a smile on your face

we play this little trophy against each other.. hes won it twice otherwise I win it.. he reckons he cant play well when its on the line he puts himself under too much pressure

seriously dont play for it then we dont have to lol

worst for me was the belfry.. first day we had a nice day but both got eaten alive by the brabazon

second day we played the derby and after 10 he wanted to walk off.. "if I have one more bad shot" etc etc im like mate I paid a lot of cash for this trip lets just enjoy it

plus I was playing the round of that year!

Brabazon??

Another I had a couple of weeks ago. Another member, gets the head on aswell. He was playing poor aparently but iv played 3 rounds with him now and he's been about the same.
He had a shocker on a par 3. Hit first oob and ending up 3 putting for 7 or 8 or something. Last putt we gave him and rather than picking up he whacks his ball with the putter and the ball hit his mate clean in the calf from about 6 foot away. They had words 😂😂

yeah the brabazon course tour us apart.. we loved every minute but scoring wasnt the best.. 3 pars between us lol

derby the next day was totally different lol

he does the same! if he has a bad hole he lobs his ball into a field or into a pond.. its really childish

Oh the course is called that. I thought it was some insect/bug I've never heard of.

Shouldn't invite him mate. I'm the type that laughs at things like that which would probably wind him up more.

Nowt wrong with a bit of club snapping

 

[Norrin Radd]

cant compete with any of your stories chaps but we do have a bloke at my track that a few of us call charisma ,cos thats the only time he has any ,jeez hes a boring S O B

 

[chico]

I played with a guy who kept running to his ball after every shot. Not Sure about the etiquette but embarrassing. Could be the answer to slow play though.

Didnt you have one the other week who tried to claim a hole in one...?

He at least had the decency to keep his socks on. :rofl:

 

[Sats]

Cannot top that whatsoever - Some of the people I play with get a little miffed over bad shots, but that clears up after a bit of banter and optimism.

 

[Pin-seeker]

One of my mates regularly throws a strop on the course.
After a bad tee shot on a par3 he hit his bag with the club he'd just used resulting in snapped shafts on his driver & 3w.(we only play £1 a man for nearest pins) 😂

He can go the whole back 9 without really talking to anyone once his heads gone.

Personally I'd find a new hobby if I got like that.
