If I hit a good one I'm likely going to tell you how good it was before you have a chance....
I'm in this boat. I remove all doubt by shouting something like 'Wooooaarrrr'... 'That's middled'... 'I've melted that' after the strike. No awkwardness or or questionable etiquette in sight :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yup...all mine! Currently fast asleep...until I make a sudden movement, then he is at full alert!
Mine too, someone on the GSP Uk face book page made a great comment about GSP's.
" how can you describe something that sleeps 23 hours of the day, as a working dog"

I would not class it as rude not to say anything, that's upto the playing partners, why take it personally.
My son or wife never says good shot to me, as I have talked to myself about the whole shot which is normally a terrible mishit and slice, even before I look at, maybe I shouldn't do that either:mmm:, goodness this game is getting complicated with playing partners.:mmm:

In my experience low SF golfers can get pretty grumpy when a higher handicapper congratulates them for what they see as a cracking shot - when the SF player may be a bit P'd about it not being what he wanted to do. Conversely a higher handicapper might not appreciate how GOOD a shot the low SF man has played - especially around the green - so remains quiet about it. And then of course there's the low SF player who moans if his shot doesn;t turn out right - and the higher handicapper questions why he is moaning - and low SF player grump ensues.
Unless the higher handicapper knows and has played with the low SF man - it's quite hard for him to know what to say or when to congratulate etc. So dear OP - have sympathy for the higher handicapper - for they know not what to say - and they are often struck dumb with awe

i never congratulate my playing partner who's off +3 on a great drive because his so straight its just boring. my other playing partner off 9 gets a congrats when he hits a fairway because its a rare sight.

It often amuses me when I take a shot from a bunker and it goes just a few yards and a PP will say 'well out' even though it was rubbish. Doesn't bother me though.

6 pages on not saying a good shot? Really? I was expecting tales of spitting, swearing, loutishness and fisticuffs!

Any shot that gets out of a bunker for me has to be a good shot, unless it is thinned OOB or flies into a bunker on the other side of the green.

Anyone who is remotely offended by a playing partner commending their shot should be bent over a chair and birched on the practice putting green by the ladies captain. Six lashes for being a complete twonk.
Get over yourselves.

How many 'good shots' were you hoping for? Difficult to expect 72 of them!

I love this! I've got mates who say 'well out' regardless of how far away it ends up out of a bunker.
Effectively because they expect to take 2 each time.

how can you get annoyed if someone says good shot?
If a high handicapper says good shot to me, even though it might not be considered "good" to me I still say thanks. Someone just acknowledged that they considered what you just did to be good in their eyes.
If you get annoyed your just an arrogant in my eyes

Think some missing the point of the OP, if your not saying good shot to anyone in the group grand , but i know if someone joined up with us we wouldnt be being encouraging to each other & excluding the other player , it would be rude & not nice ,
maybe its the fact i wouldnt be rude to someone like this is why i find it rude .. , its nice to be friendly and it ìmproves the mood in the group
Who on here would let someone join them , compliment each other but ignore the visitor /guest ??
And your reasons for ignoring or not ignoring them please ?
