Room 101

People who, when you ask them what they shot, start with "well I was 1 over after 9..."

I'll put my spikes back on if we're going to go round again, I asked for your score!!! :mad:

We've all been there but none of us are guilty of doing it :p
Here's a tip. Next time ask 'did you beat your handicap today?'
 
Those little suction cup things that fit in the end of your putter so you don't need to bend down to pick your ball from the hole, & yes a definite must for me the "get in the hole" brigade.
 
Players that when asked their score give you a nett score, pretty much always high handicappers!

Tell us how many you took, you'll get more respect for doing so.

You da man!

This drives me totally nuts. Not wishing to start a landslide, but there are often posts on here about "I shot a 65" - with no h'cap in the signature or mention of h'cap.

I always talk in gross figures. If a mate says "I had an 80 today" I know that he's had a good game of golf...unless he's the pro!! :cool:

PS.....those 3 rubber tees tied with string are one of my favourite ever golf gadgets. In the winter you have 3 choices off the mat. 1) Hit it off the mat 2) Hit it off one of the rubber tee doobries or 3) unpack your bag, get out a hammer, break 3 or 4 trying to get the right height.

Best advice I've had for a long time. Might stop me falling asleep over Mr B's match reports (not that I would ever do such a thing :p)

This thread comes around every so often, and it's great to see some of the new guys involved. This 101 thing always makes me laugh.

From the looks of it, I'll see you in there. I don't think that any one of us isn't guilty of at least one of these things!

Personally. I play in checkered shorts with long black socks, and white/brown Footjoy classics, with a pink shirt and a Pringle 'geometric' jumper with a golfer symbol on it; naturally, draped of the shoulders of course in true 'preppy' style. My black glove is carefully placed hanging out of my back pocket. My Japanese imported Muira irons and wedges are coseted in my 'Stewart' bag, logo'd of course, by some iron head covers with my initials on. My driver has a 'funny' head cover on it to show that I have a sense of humor. But my 3 wood head cover has a St Georges flag on it to prove my patriotism. I have a chipper, handy for those little touch shots around the green, and an 'Alien' wedge; because there great, 'cause Sam said so. I have hydrids upto and including a 5 iron loft; well they're just easier; aren't they. I wear a visor, even though I'm bald.

And do you know why I keep being invited back to play?

Because I always buy lunch.


:D
 
People who complain about other peoples complaints or complaining!(101 under lock and key till they realise everyone has the right to complain and they themselves complain more)

Golfers who talk golf but dont play it? (Playing golf is taking a club out and hitting a ball as few times as you can, golf is not pretencious posing, time wasting dance routines or gassing about the game for 5 minutes before hitting a ball) if you are not hitting the ball or walking to it to hit it again you are not playing golf, you are doing some other mysterious pastime.

Scruffy golfers regardless of what they wear.

People with poor etiquette (Room 101 till they learn or change attitude)

People who refuse to drink from the cup of 'SHUT THE HECK UP' while others are playing shots.

Golfers who cannot resist telling other golfers how to play, or whats wrong with their swing without being asked, then proceed to duff their shot off their 6million h/c. :D
