1) The old school elitists
2) Joining fees
3) The mentality against single players
4) People who use the words "coucil estate" like its a virus
5) people who use electric trolleys, I mean if you need a electric trolley under 40 then you need to also lose some weight, so carry your bag. (exclusion is the bad back brigade)
That's it for now.

Re: WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE IN GOLF!!!
I hate groups who rather than wave you through will Noticeably rush there round ie not putt out, rush tee shots and the like. Different players have different speeds and abilities.It takes no longer than about 3-5mins to let a group through if done at the right time.
I will get some stick for this but it seems to be the older players who feel they can keep up who will at all cost avoid letting groups through.Just wave em up and then enjoy playing at your own pace dont rush!!!!

You can be lucky with one or two but not 9. Oh, I did three putt two other greens.

1) Having to drop in bunkers after moving the ball from casual water. It nearly always plugs. Rules should be placing.
2) Golfers who dont repair divots, rake bunkers and pull their trollies across greens/fringes.
3)Slow play.
4)Red deer that run/walk across our greens. Cull the B******s.

I apologise in advance for the first one:
1) The really good players (who have been playing a long time, and obviously know all/most of the rules), who get very uppity and look at you like a terd when perhaps you might not know them all). Every one has to start somewhere, please take a chill pill.
2) The fast play brigade who have to get roung the course at top speed, please again relax and enjoy!!
3) W*nkers that don't replace divots or repair pitch marks. Or for that matter don't rake the bunkers, I don't like being in them in the first place, but to have to play out of a two foot deep hoof print really gets my goat.
4) Pompous tw*ts who have always done this or that better than everyone else (get a life).
5) Lack of etiquette, please don't stand in my eyeline, chat, zip yr bag up, stomp over my line of putt or generally be an arse. Learn some manners.
6) People who slag off people with electric trolleys (tongue firmly in cheek). I have one, but then again my course is over 7,000 yds and has more hills than Snowdonia.
7) CHEATS (just bugger off!)
8) Bandits, who only ever enter the majors, if you can play off 5/6 don't be surprised when people cane you when tou come in with a gross 59 in the club championship off a handicap of 17 or 18.
Gosh, I need to go and have a lie down!!!!

Well done everyone, some top quality bile being spewed here. Special congratulations to Billyg who managed to sum of all of my pet hates in one go.
Special mention goes out to the 4 ball of seniors who I got stuck behind almost every Saturday last year. Never any intention of letting anyone through even when asked (and once complained to the club because my 2 ball had apparently been pestering them all round and ruining their game). They appeared to be chained at the hip to each other because they were certainly incapable of playing a shot without the other 3 standing around or looking for their ball in the rough whilst another played a shot from the fairway. Every shot was line up, 2 practice swings, step away from the ball, line up again, 2 more practice swings then, if you were lucky, hit the ball 30 yards. Do not even get me started on the time it took them to put. I am not joking when I say they took 5 minutes walking round the green, another 5 crouching behind the ball then never managed to get it within 5 feet.

Re: WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE IN GOLF!!!
I can only think of one specific time when I have been seriously held up by ladies. It was a 4 ball who appeared to be having a long discussion in front of us. Eventually they remembered that we were behind and called us through. As we came level, one asked if we could help on a ruling. They wanted to know what the penalty was for taking an air shot over the wrong ball.
I have to come to the defense of the ladies. By no means do they all play slowly. At club level they may not hit the ball that far but they rarely have to look for lost balls like us machos. I think that it is those who treat the round as a social event that give them all a bad name.

Re: WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE IN GOLF!!!
People who insist on playing because the 'course closed' sign is not on display, even if the first fairway is under water!
People who use electric trollies in conditions above.
People who don't repair pitchmarks on the greens.
Oh, and, the club steward who has just closed the kitched 30 seconds before you try and order something to eat!

Those that always tee off at 12 on a Wednesday afternoon every week and feel they have the God given right to do so even when someone has the audacity to tee up just before they waddle out of the club house.
Divot non replacers
Pitchmark non repairers
Junior haters (remember guys, they are the future of the club)
Low handicappers who scoff and sneer at higher handicappers performance and technique (Everyone has to learn)
People who just can't wait until you are out of range before tw***ing a ball towards you.
People who find the fairway a great place to natter, even when a faster group is waiting behind them.
People who keep equipment (clubs, gloves, head covers etc)found on the course instead of handing it in at the clubhouse.
Rant over...............I think. I may be back!

Re: WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE IN GOLF!!!
Gotta agree with most of the above. However.
The idiots that stand on the green measuring who's going first, then all leaving the green whilst each player takes their turn, and then repeating the whole thing over and over until all have putted. Okay I'm all for the whole etiquette of the game, but this is ridiculous. They don't even wave us through either. So on the odd hole or two we might 'fire' the ball a little early to try and hurry them up. Guess there might be one or two on here that don't like us doing that but 'get a move on'. Bet you sods drive in the middle lane at 50 as well!!
Okay so I'm a newbie - flame away!!
Popcorn at the ready!

Those golfers who tell you exactly what they did wrong in the shot just played, every shot. e.g. I dipped my shoulder a bit too much, my ball was sitting just behind a wormcast, my right big toe was not gripped against the 2nd toe, someone on the next tee sneezed, blah, blah, blah.
I bet you all know a few like those

My three mates are quick enough to tell me when I've hit a bad shot. I often hear the laughs before I end the follow through!

1) 5 Hour Rounds
2) People who say nice shot when they know(and i know)it was a crap shot.
3)Taking on the wrong shot when you know you shouldn't and you totally balls the round up.
4) But by no means last CHEATS & PEOPLE WHO DO NOT REPAIR PITCHMARKS & REPLACE THEIR GREAT BIG DIVOTS.
