Which mistake annoys you the most?

We have all had a short putt for birdie and 3 putted for bogey.

We have all tried to reach the green from 300 yards and topped it up the fairway.

We have all hit one OOB off the tee then done the same thing again with our next ball.

We have all had a chip/putt up a steep bank that has rolled right back to our feet.

There are loads of others as well, which one really winds you up?

This.
 
Can't choose between two, which coincidentally both happened on Saturday and turned a potentially healthy cut into buffer.

1. Taking an iron as the percentage and safe play and pushing it into the thick stuff, leading to bogey. Happened twice so would've been better having a thrash with the three wood anyway.

2. Poor concentration. Also happened twice. First time being a have a go hero and trying to advance the ball miles from a crap lie and ending up with a double instead of chipping out sideways and taking bogey. Second time getting annoyed at leaving a par putt two feet short and rushing the "tap-in", leading to another double.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
 
Any missed putt from < 12". It just shouldn't ever happen but it does and it's painful. I missed one for birdie on Sunday... Ouch!
 
3-putting from inside 20ft annoys me most, especially when it's not a particularly difficult 2-putt.

Taking an iron off the tee "for safety" and stuffing it in the rough is pretty irritating too!
 
Getting back on level terms in a tight game in match play, only to chuck the very next hole away cheaply with some horrendous schoolboy howler.
 
I've turned from a complete "Demon" off the tee with the driver into a "complete spanner" in a matter of a few weeks and I don't know why, it's become that bad that my driver is lucky to still be alive and in one piece so it's gotta be the "slice off the tee" shot for me !...:angry:

Recently the only mistakes Ive been making are sometimes hitting the shot fat, so yeh thats the one for me at the moment

There is absolutely no such thing to the amateur golfer and as soon as you start thinking there is you're doomed.
