Pet Hates on a around of Golf

[GB72]

My pet hate is playing partners who do not help get a line on a wayward shot. I have played with a few who always expect other people to have a line on their tee shot when it heads into the cabbage but are always doing something else when other people ask if they have afforded them the same courtesy when they tee off. Even worse are the odd few who I have specifically asked to keep an eye on a shot because my view is obstructed and they then proceed to chat, fiddle with their bag but certainly have no desire to see where your shot lands.

Add to that the odd playing partner who is often absent when everyone is looking for a lost ball but is the first to make sure everyone is looking for his and you have my 2 pet hates.

Lot of pent up frustration... obviously much of it in jest, but I do get the feeling that some on here do take it just a little bit too seriously...

I enjoy playing golf, I like being out there (unless it's lashing it down) so don't really have much to moan about. If the round is slow, probably not a lot I can do about it so why worry? What will be will be.. Doesn't stop me trying my best.

People who dont look after their clubs and pitch up with last weeks mud and grime encrusted on them. Take some pride in your equipment, nothing worse than a dishevelled bag full of manky, sorry looking clubs.

People who try and over-complicate the game with some new found technique or fad.

Having to play from divots, stupidest rule in the game.

Most of mine is in jest but sometimes the lack of courtesy shown by FCs can wind me up a little. Never to the detriment of my round or so as I don't enjoy myself but I have always been brought up to act in the way that you would expect other people to act and so sometimes showing a lack of consideration for the course or the people that you are playing with can be frustrating.

There was no jest in mine! Why the heck would you put mayonnaise on a cheeseburger???

Without reading through the other 11 pages and in no particular order:-

1. People leaving litter, there are plenty bins provided, put the rubbish in your bag till you get to one.
2. Pitch marks, must repair two or three per green during a round that are not mine.
3. People leaving their trolleys/bags on the wrong side of the green, holding up play
4. People marking their cards next to the green
5. People unaware of whats going on around them
6. People not shouting fore
7. Rain
8. Hitting a good shot and then not being able to find you ball

Well, this is a actually a really good point, but I don't associate that with golf. I find this just completely unacceptable. Why ruin a perfectly good cheeseburger with white crap? yes, if you want it you can ADD it. It should NEVER come as standard.

Point accepted. Carry on...

People who are too lazy to enter their scores on the PSI

And players who fail to enter their card in the box and PSI ?!

Absolutely with you on that, mayonnaise is the devil's work - similarly salad on the side of a plate of golf club fish and chips - no need

As far as during a round of golf - not much bothers me

Why would you put mayonnaise on anything? Yuck!

Not ever, wow you are quick.

Thankyou my missus says the same.

I have been playing less than a year and have never been told to speed up or had to let someone through due to slow play. Seeing as slow play is a an issue, me and my playing partners do play quickly.

Hitting a good shot and then not being able to find you ball

Surely that pet hate depends on the definition of a "good shot".

 

[HickoryShaft]

Pitbull terriers - worst sort of pet on a golf course imho !!

 

[Slicer30]

Badly repaired pitch marks - golfer with good etiquette but bad technique when repairing the pitch mark.

Lifting, prying up the pitch mark which then becomes a little dimpled bald spot on the green. So avoidable if they just took the care to repair it properly.

Dog walkers who let their dogs off the lead and then leave the s**t on the course !!

Recently our Pro has started taking lesson on the course - he then stands aside with his couple of pupils and watches our next shots. We don't want or need an audience !!!

Confused ?

Your pro is taking lessons on the course but stops to let you play through ? And you don't like him watching you hit the ball ?

People who have to walk to their bag to get a provisional ball, keep one in your pocket ffs

[Twin Lakes]
