Recently joined a club and in general, the members have been fantastic. However some just seem to want to complain at the slightest thing!
eg - we were queuing on a par 3 waiting for the green to clear, and some nob starting kicking off to us about slow play as if it was our fault.
getting shushed as we walked down the fairway by someone on the adjacent fairway taking a shot about 100 yards away(and I mean one to one chat, not shouting, and we didn't even see them)
Getting a telling off for not raking a bunker when I hadn't even been in a pissin bunker on that hole!
it it seems to me, that there is a particular type of golfer, who for whatever reason is almost looking for the tiniest possible reason to kick off.....usually a bit older than the average golfer I have to say.......
I almost dread bumping into other golfers on the tees sometimes for fear of getting a bollicking for something I didn't even know I was doing wrong.I'm a 43 year old father, senior manager in a footsie 100 company yet these types make me feel like I'm a child!!!!
ps - I believe strongly in etiquette and doing the right thing,so it's not that I'm against certain standards if behaviour - quite the opposite in fact!!
