MR nice advice man.

[Tashyboy]

Just reading another thread about someone playing there first medal and how nervous they are and will be. Another guy has advised about letting other players know that it is his first comp which I totally agree with.
However I once played with a guy who literally gave me advice on every shot, drive, putt, the lot. By the end of the round he had proper got on my tits. He was really nice but the mute button on him had broke. Towards the end of the round one of his pals mentioned that they had told him to shut up a long time ago.
ever played with anyone who is full of advice.

My principle is never to give advice unless it is asked for. Playing in a fourball friendly match a while ago one of our know all opponents stopped his partner as he was about to swing & told him how to correct hi address position. Walking down the fairway he told his partner that he badly needed a lesson. He said "Just go to the pro & tell him you haven't got a clue what you're doing" That made him play so much better.

If it was a metal then he technically shouldn't be giving advice.
I've played with some that do it.. But they've never done it to me. And it's usually given when someone is really struggling. Usually as well it's totally the wrong advice as well..

The other one I hate is a player commenting on ever shot that hit... oh I just turned my hands over too much on that one. Or i was trying to hit a high draw in that one. That really nice me. It's always after the shot. Why don't they just hit the ball and a what happens instead of giving a running commentary. 😀

Played with a "all the gear, no idea guy a number of years back." His piece de resistance, 17th hole par 3 140yds. His advice was hit a 5iron coz it's very windy up there. I hit a wedge a couple of inches past the hole. He didn't bat an eyelid as he said, "you really had to go after that. It would have been easier with a 5 iron."

I'm guilty of this one, a real bad habit I'm trying to break!

I hate the nice advice guy at the range who, uninvited, starts to tell you where you're going wrong.

You should carry a print out of your handicap certificate and hand it to him, smile and turn away.

Ya mate.. but I bet you don't do it after every shot. That's different. Every now and again I can deal with. In fairness I might say something the odd time.

But the ones I'm talking about are usually the ones that are double and triple bogeying their way round.
If they concentrated a bit more and talked a bit less they might play better.

Only the bad ones.....

Al bring some duck tape for me mates and some ear plugs if that fails.

Reading the bit about players talking about there own shots. When I played Limdrick my pp talked through every bad shot. He even said "that's the perfect divot" after one shot. Shame it was not the perfect shot. Another, My coach would be embarrassed with that one.

 

[harpo_72]

I only talk if asked, otherwise you get a quiet game with me. You may get the "good shot" etc... And a bit of chat, but I don't do it that well.
I don't mind people talking, or giving advice it never bothers me. I figure we all see stuff differently and they may have a gem ... But they won't affect my game.

 

[Wilson]

I only give advice to my mates, who don't play a lot, if they either ask for it or are really struggling - and I keep it as basic as possible.

As for commentary, I have a pal that does it, after every shot, all the way to his next one! Last time my other pal and I just ignored him until he got the message.

 

[effayjay]

Unsolicited advice is just so annoying, and the vast majority of it is utter crap.

Only slightly less irritating is the person who insists on commenting on every shot I make, "you've pushed it", you've pulled it", " not hit it", " gone way past". Yes I know, I've got eyes!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Played with a few advice givers. Usually done with good intentions but still annoying. I try and be polite to start with. Sadly there has been times when I've ended up having to be blunt. Not nice to do but necessary for my own enjoyment of the round

i like winding my mates up ,if and more often than not they hit a duff shot ,i just ask them "why did you do that" gets em even more wound up .
god forbid doing anything like that in competition though .if im asked for a bit of help i always say im not qualified to help you ,so dont want to be accused of giving you bum info.

 

[jusme]

Unsolicited advice is a big bug for me. Most people are knowledgeable enough not to do it. (with friends its a different situation). I have had it once or twice and I stop it at source, politely of course. If you don't the advice will keep coming.

I really really do not appreciate unsolicited advice from random people

Unless you are a pro, keep your trap shut
thank you

i hope this link works

Absolutely correct to mention that it's your first Medal.

For the pillick that keeps giving unsolicited advice, just mention that it's a 2 shot penalty for doing it!
