WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE IN GOLF???

[MVP]

We've all discussed our favourite irons, drivers, books , courses etc, but what do you dislike golf the most?
Is it bad days on the course?
Playing against bandits?
Rule breakers?
that 50yard slice when you know its OB to the right?

Good grammar in the heading, by the way, mvp

Biggest bugbear would be Americans who shout "In the Hole". Where's ma gun?

Re: WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE ABOUT IN GOLF!!!

My biggest dislike is the rule regarding divots!!!!!

Why should I be penalized because some lazy *** couldnt be bothered to replace their hall carpet sized divot, or a crow picking out divots to find tasty little worms and grubs underneath!

Really dont understand that rule at all.

In fact it gets on my tits!

Can you please refer me to the rule ie. the new rule book free with golf monthly---what page and rule number?

Re: WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE ABOUT IN GOLF!!!

MVP i think what thecraw is referring to is the fact that you are obliged to play out of the divot unless you declared an unplayable and proceed under penalty.

Re: WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE IN GOLF!!!

1) being 'pressed' by the group behind when it's not my fault. It's the man-hating militant nannies' four ball ahead determined not to let us through as we have the sheer audacity to own a pair of testicles.

2) Chav's. This is not a class thing, it's a mentality thing. Plenty of asset rich and poor pond life out there using profanity, dropping litter, not calling a wayward shot, carving the course up, wearing football/training style casual wear (sorry lads but when I see a this within a 100yds of of a golfclub I see-t1t), showing no basic courtesy and generally otherwise undermining the ambience of a pasttime at pains to uphold the best of decent human values.

For the record I earn little, save hard and live for my 'moments' on the course. A comprehensive education hasn't prevented my from being able to deport myself decently, respectfully, turn out well and mind my p's and q's.Is it that hard?

3) People that roll their 27 tonne,megamonster, staff bag trollies over the greens and fringes.

4) Golf carts- unless you are disabled or otherwise physically impared. The devils work made for d1ckheads and the feckless. If you haven't got time to play 18 holes then play nine on foot and berk off! A curse on your tyres!Willy wavingly pointless and superflous to requirements.How anyone can take in the air, ambience and peace while they compose themselves in the 16 nanoseconds they have at their disposal between shots is beyond me. I live in central London and don't wish to be constantly accosted by whiring, grass crushing petrol powered barbie-bling.

5) Pompous people- golf is the great leveller, I don't care if you wear Galvin Green and went to Eton or wear M&S and went to Peckham comp.- if you're a boring, cliquey, name dropping, whinging prig then stay out of range of the perabola of my 3 wood- you have been warned. Alternatively, if you're polite, respectful, love the game and know the rules then welcome aboard. Not hard is it? This particularly includes old foosts (as my boss and scotsman would describe them) -the predominantly old members (not all) that believe that age confers not only wisdom but the right to patronise and condescend with a seemingly blithe and baseless impunity.

6)The leather wedge brigade aka cheats. I mean, whats the point? you're only kidding yourself pal. How can you derive any personal satisfaction from a game that is promulgated on the idea of it being 'you against the course'. Take up knitting and leave the rst of us to get on with it.

phew. that'll do for now. sorry if ive rattled a few cages but there you go.

(takes cover and expects carpet bombing from buggy-driving, rude, foosty nannies in a Man. U shirts with a proclivity to whinge and cheat)

Re: WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE IN GOLF!!!

1) scrotes who shouldn't be allowed to breathe let alone tread on the course.

2) Little turds running out onto the range to collect balls.

3) Cheaters

4) Anything that comes out of the mouth of these dumb-yank fans as previously mentioned.

Not just the QuadraDorisBall in front (although that is a life-sapper) but the idiots behind (invariably in my experience fat middle-aged men who seem to think they own the feckin' place and fail to understand that they are not going to win a 'confrontation' with me!) who seem to think that it's your fault for holding them up when you haven't lost any ground on those in front of you.

It's golf - what's the f$&*ing rush? Three words pal:

Smell. The. Roses.

An erudite and sagacious post billy - keep it up!

Re: WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE IN GOLF!!!

people who don't shout fore when they push it right or slice it left over hedges or trees onto an adjacent fairway, they can't see where it will land or if anyone is there and they don't shout the warning , then they don't even offer an apoligy, you tell them what they did and the usual answer is " A DIDNY SEE YI" thats the whole point you tit, if you can't see where its landing shout

Re: WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE IN GOLF!!!

Guys who ask you, after playing a nice 7 iron stopping nicely on the green, what club you used to then say they used two clubs less……………..with 30 yards run.

Guys who say, how do you stop the ball when their playing a brick.

Guys who say you’re lucky after single putting 9 holes.

Guys who have a bag full of wedges and they cant even hit their 7 iron.

Re: WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE IN GOLF!!!

Single, most annoying bugbear for me is also probably one of the easiest to fix.

However the majority of golfers are either to lazy or stupid to do it, fix your damn pitch marks!

Re: WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE IN GOLF!!!

1) Ultra slow 4 balls (either female or seniors). They have no concept of their speed of play and the tailbacks often remind me of all those caravans going to the West COuntry on bankh olidays you see on news reports

2) Vermin kids and council estate pondlife (no offence to anyone living in council houses but the fact you are on here indicates you have wit and intelligence and know how to behave ona course) that sneak on with 1/2 a bag between 4 or ride about on their BMX's trying to leap bunkers

3) Golf carts. Two golfers of limited ability playing like the red arrows and zig zagging left and right down the hole. If you can't walk and keep it (relatively) straight get off my course!
