Unpopular opinions

1. The Open rota has far too many Scottish courses.

2. Links golf is overrated.

3. Pros shouldn't be allowed free line-of-sight drops from TV towers and especially from grandstands - some of them are the size of small council estates - if you can't miss something that big you shouldn't be on the tour.
 
1. People who polish their golf shoes for an outdoor muddy golf course are not real golfers and should be banned, creating space for real golfers ;)
2. Trainers should be allowed on the course.
3. Too extreme - deleted
4. If you lose a ball that’s your game over for the day. 3 minutes search rule still applies.
5. Age related memberships should be banned
 
Great Thread !

1. x 2 for age related golf membership.

2. Your handicap should be your best ever score with any adjustment up, coming only after 10 comps in which you do not play to it and even then only .5 to be added.

3. Any winners of a comp have their handicap reduced to what they have played to for that comp.

4. Clubs should allow ladies and mens comps to be played simultaneously.

5. Play off any tees you want to when practicing. What’s the point of playing off a tee 50 meters forward when practicing? (Rare I know, but it happens).

6. Only £1 fee for any comp. My mate pays £4 !!! at his place LOL ,and hasn’t even come close to winning (he’s now off 29 point summat) owt for 2 years and plays EVERY week!!!! (when possible). So that’s another £160 (at least) to his fees.

Sticking to golf related, otherwise it would be a VERY long list.

If 2 applies you don't need 3...
 
women and men’s comps should be separate. In fact they should play on seperate days unless they stop treating it like a social picnic.
Majority of ladies are slow and methodical.
 
All golfers should use premium balls. Nothing worse than carving a Pro V1 into the jungle and walking out with a Top Flite in it's place.

Staying for a post round drink should be compulsory.

When somebody invites you to their club you MUST return the favour at your own club.

People who 'game' PXG clubs are just showing off.
 
Scotty Cameron putters are overrated.

Golf clubs are correct to offer reduced memberships for younger golfers.

PXG clubs are ugly.
 
Banning rubbish golf balls isnt unpopular....as you said, no one likes finding TopFlites!

People who disagree with dress codes wouldnt dream of playing football without football boots and the right coloured kit! :-)

People who "game" clubs, need a week in "grammar camp!" :-) Maybe more!

That is a daft analogy - boots and kits serve practical purpose; for running on grass, and for telling who's on your team.
