Things I hate

[Crawfy]

Tee boxes strewn with broken tees. Either have the wee tee bins to put them in or put it in your pocket and bin them later.

Apart from that - bullies and liars

 

[patricks148]

people who don't repair pitch marks and those that don't rake bunkers after being in them.

 

[Robobum]

Unsolicited advice. i swear, the next guy who tells me to keep my head down during a round is gonna eat my 5 iron. Crosswise.

Make sure you keep your head down else you might miss their mouth

"42 points with 3 blobs"

So basically you got 42 points then......

No golf trousers in my size (fat arse and short legs) during the sales.

Since the only things that typically aren't available in sales are the ones that are already sold out due to high demand, your body shape must be quite common where you live...

Un-repaired pitch-marks. Especially those that are within 6 feet of the hole. There is just no excuse for not repairing them when they are that close to the hole.

But how is the flight behind you supposed to know how close you hit your approach if you erase the only visible evidence - the pitch mark?

People who say "nice shot" after every ball that leaves the ground and flies into the air

People who say "nice shot" after every ball that leaves the ground and flies into the air

Yeah ... that too. My mum does that all the time. I hit my ball oob or into a pond and she says "Nice shot". Drives me nuts.

 

[Smiffy]

Burger baps.
Whoever invented those wants shooting.

 

[sandmagnet]

I will bite! You gotta explain why!

 

[Sats]

moany golfers

 

[jamielaing]

People who ask if it's a gimmie.

Did I say it was given? No. Play your shot then!

 

[Junior]

People who say "nice shot" after every ball that leaves the ground and flies into the air

In addition, people who say nice putt before you ball stops rolling......inevitably leaving you a snakey 3 footer coming back.

 

[Dan2501]

Nothing more irritating on the course than hitting a green in reg and 3 stabbing for a bogey. Infuriates me.

 

[ADB]

Those inane nicknames for bad shots - Sally Gunnels, Dennis Wise etc etc....not funny at all

 

[HickoryShaft]

Turning up and finding the greens are all on temps even though the website says they are back on full.

 

[tomshanks]

Bubba Watsons hands. They don't look right

 

[Crawfy]

Not being able to wear my Hi-Top boots, elasticated bottom joggies and/or my flat billed cap (back to front) in the clubhouse bar

 

[HankMarvin]

Coming into the clubhouse only to here guys saying they shot a 66 and say they were striking it well only to find out that they actually had a gross 81 less handicap.

Coming into the clubhouse and hearing that a really good golfer has shot a gross 81 including his 6 handicap. Always makes me laugh does that one.

That made me laugh. I came to golf after other sports so whilst I appreciate the handicap system I do not let it cloud my judgement on my own performance. Good is good, bad is bad. Bad should not be good in terms of scores. If someone asks my score I tend to avoid the question first off, but if they insist I tell them my gross score and then nett. I have no wish to trick someone into thinking I am a top golfer when my gross scores say otherwise. People who do this are conning themselves and everyone else. Stableford is a different matter but for strokeplay, be honest.
