Random Irritations

when your train company decided to run a 4 carriage train in morning rush hour instead of the usual 12 carriages and give no reason and an insincere apology
 
Sat minding my own business on an emptyish train and being asked to move as someone wants to sit in the seat I’m occupying.
 
The fact that "repair your pitch marks" does not apparently translate into Korean.
 
Rudeness, poor manners and arrogance all displayed by one individual on the course today. No-one behind us as we played the 5th. Saw a guy half-way down that hole as we were on the 6th (bell-hole as blindish tee shot). Shortly afterwards as we looked for HIDs ball in the trees (no longer than 3 minutes search) a ball came over our heads from the tee. This was closely followed by another! He came into view as we rang the bell and no apology. He did hang back a bit and then we stopped for a coffee at the hut and he walked straight past without an acknowledgement to us as we were vacating the hut. He then drove into the trees and we were waiting as he found his ball...messed up the shot, looked back at us and promptly hit a 2nd. Saw him duff one of them into the hedge bottom and he moved to the 11th tee. Proceeded to then take an age to hit his first tee shot and then had the flipping cheek to hit another. There is a clear club rule about no practice on the course so I shouted to him - he turned around but then took off to find his balls (neither threatening the green). On the 12th he definitely thought about a second drive but thought better of it.

Not sure I've encountered so many acts of rudeness from one individual on the course in such a short space of time!
 
Poor management by the pro shop/office to let a four ball of green fees wander off from the 10th in the middle of a medal and then do nothing about it, even when they are still only 100 yards off the tee after their opening shots
