• Thank you all very much for sharing your time with us in 2025. We hope you all have a safe and happy 2026!

The GM forum 'black list'.

Golfers that spend their whole life complaining about what's wrong with their course. If they don't like it go and join somewhere else.

One that amazed me on the forum was someone who was looking to move courses as their current one was too short & easy.

I think he had a 17 handicap :p
LOL my hallway is a tough track never mind a proper course being too easy!
 
The parents of kids who are quite good. But the dad has to keep telling you how little Jonny is going to be a county player/scratch golfer/long hitter etc etc etc

When most kids I knew as a junior (me being one of them) got bored of golf, discovered the wonder of girls, booze and anything else we're told not to do! Give up for several years and then try to get half decent again.
 
Sloping tee boxes. The game's hard enough - give us a chance!

People who don't like black golf gloves! I've used them for years - what's wrong with them?

People who's stance points about 150 yards to the right and then moan like hell when they smash it 200 yards right.....and slice it.....

People who are rubbish, refuse to have lessons as they are a waste of money but will gladly spend £300 on a new driver.....then can't use it but still blame it for their rubbishness

People who turn up with a bag last seen in the Boar War. The zips don't work so muggins here ends up carting all the gear. The bugger then beats me.....

Crowned holes!

Officers of the club who were lowly insignificants in their working life but, given a modicum of power at the gold club, become a Hitler/Kim Jong Il hybrid!

Missing out on the GM PING day..... :(
 
Blokes who can't play, know nothing at all about how to swing a club and couldn't explain how to open a tin of baked beans........

then coach their w.a.g.s. at the driving range in the next bay to me.

There needs to be name for murdering someone with a golf club, 'cause that's what I'll do next time this happens.

If these folk want to do something useful for society, go to bay no.26 (or in the next field) or book your missus in for a lesson with pro.

:mad:
 
Bobble Hats. What's that all about? It's golf not the winter olympics!!! ;) :p

I think it was to take your attention away from the pink jumper.

It was January on the east coast of Scotland to be fair.
And? what is the purpose of the bobble? apart from a complete waste of wool! I thought the bobble was there to prevent your ski goggles strap from sliding off your head!! ;)
 
Unofficial 'tour' players who feel they need the equip themselves with clubs, bag, clothes, brolley etc etc of the same manufacturer. Why not go the whole hog and have a transfer down the side of your car..
:D :DBrilliant ;)
 
Seniors complaining about Juniors holding them up,or complaining about anything..I once had one old fella stop me and start whinging because of the equipment in a junior`s bag..
 
Despite starting this thread, I've taken a step back and stayed surprisingly quiet.

All things considered some of it has made quite uncomfortable reading. I'm sure that some of us felt a few 'twinges' reading through this.

All in all, I'll keep stum. After all. I wouldn't want to upset anyone would I!! Probably not good for business. :eek: ;)
 
My list is:
1. lazy greenkeepers (yeah I know it's contentious)
2. 26 handicappers who it it miles.
3. shorts on the golf course
4. people who play golf in jeans and footy shirts
5. crap sand in bunkers
6. so called temp greens eg. bit's of fairway with a hole in it.
7.holier than thou Tiger bashers, you know, the one's who have never done owt wrong.
Oh there's more, believe me there's more.
