The GM forum 'black list'.

[haplesshacker]

After a recent thread and various threads over he last two years. What's on your golfing black list?

Be it yellow balls, shorts, black gloves, black shoes and shorts, electric trolleys, societies, hybrids etc. Get it off your chest here!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Chippers, seniors not calling you through when there is a clear course in front (even the women let you through), shorts, novelty headcovers

 

[BrianDamage]

I played with a bloke 3 weeks ago and he was wearing shorts! I laughed all the way down the 1st to a treble bogey.

 

[AlchemyGolf]

players who only talk a good game!!!

They talk the talk but never walk the walk!!

 

[rob2]

Easy one this, head covers on irons.

Why dont you wrap your tees in bubblewrap as well to ensure they dont break!

I have to echo everything in Homers post and will add players not repairing pitch marks and those ignorant people that think they are whipering to each other as you beginning your address.

Hold up, I've never used these but have just ordered a set as my MP32's are so clean I dont want dings all over them. Forged clubs dent easy.

Lets make it a definitive list

1.Yellow golfballs
2. Chippers
3. shorts
4. The talkers but not walkers
5. all the gear and no idea blokes

Feel free to copy and add....

 

[Dodger]

Yellow balls,folk that carry a ball scooper,plugs on the end of putters for getting the ball out the hole,forummers that cannot take critisism and feel the need to cry about it if they don't agree...it's a forum for christ sake,slow play and golfers that will not wave through,too many adverts during Sky golf coverage,Euan Murray always,always saying ''great talent this kid,I really think he has the lot'' despite the fact they have won hee haw.....I could go on and on!

 

[Parmo]

People who use stupid American insults that are many years below them.

 

[John_Findlay]

Players who take 4 practice swings..... then flub it, every time.

 

[didsbury_duffer]

Oh!! How long have we got??
In no particular order.....coloured socks with shorts, NR's, DMD's, chippers, novelty headcovers, brush tee pegs, cargo trousers/shorts, towels hanging from belts, not letting through, bucket holes on temp greens, Poulter's trousers, players not repairing pitch marks and divots, players not raking bunkers, handicap bandits, fairway mats. I could go on.
Am I living up to my avatar?

 

[BrianDamage]

The no. 1 thing that annoys me is American crowds saying 'get in the hole'

WELL!

As a senior often held up by junior (and not so junior) players taking so much time over their shots-especially putts, as if they are playing in the Open in the monthly medal.Must disagree with the above.

Guess this is a whole new thread

John, i just cant help it i promise to try harder .

People on this forum who moan about bandits ,28 handicapers who play with Mizuno blades and Pro V1s,one track ponies, manufacturers who bring out shiny new clubs so you have to buy them , Nick Faldo's cheesy commentary,Poulter nuff said.

I hear you Birdie, I have just bought a new set of forged Mizunos which are already a bit dinged...... but rather that than being laughed of the course

All in jest

[bigbiffa]

yeah what is wrong with shorts???.....one that bugs me is the oldies that hit the ball,walk to it , hit it 100yds, walk to it, hit it etc, then stand on the fairway impatiently.......have they never heard of pre shot routines,lol?

 

[CannyFifer]

playing parners hunting for a tee after a drive, they cost pennies
ps - i've got a chipper

 

[stevek1969]

People who wait for a green to clear on a par 5 when they've hit there drive 150 yards, impatient women who hit from the tee before you've played your second shot.

Whats wrong with shorts ? my legs might not be of model standard but they like to get an airing in the summer.
