Pet peeves in golf

[RynoVol]

As a takeoff on the "Things you're tired of" thread, let's do one for golf. Brassy hit a couple of them, but here are some of mine.

1.As Brass stated, hackers not playing four hour golf. I hate seeing a guy sit in the cart watching his buddy hit, and not walking the 30 yards to his own damn ball across the fairway to be ready to hit.

2.Marking a second putt, especially when it's less than three feet. Nothing slows down recreational golf more than four guys marking ten putts.

3.Two or fewer visits from a cart girl during a round...especially if she's hot.

4.The grill not having egg salad or hot dogs at the turn.

5.Unrepaired divots on the green.

I left plenty. Now, you go.

You hit on most of mine.....

Greens that are not mowed....slow play....the first person that hole's out does not get the flag (one of the first things I learned as a kid...First one in, gets the pin).....making the turn and a bunch of assholes are starting on the back nine and you have to wait on them......people who play slow and still want wave you on......women who cant play a lick and their husbands or boyfriends trying to teach them the f'ing game durning the PEAK time's...
and last but not least...dumbasses that drive their carts right up to the green...

-golfers who wait until it is there turn to even look at their line..be looking at it while the first guys are lining up

-those hitting 2 or more shots off of every tee box and keeping the best ball, then acting like they had a great round at the end of the day

-calling obscure rules on people when no $$$ is involved

-when my wife or anyone (infrequent player) tells me "good shot" after a horrible shot

-people who don't properly rake bunkers

-being hit into when the course is crowded and slow....if I just hit my drive and am standing in the fairway, don't hit

-guys who are going for a par5 in 2 from 300 yards out...if you hit your drive 220, don't expect to hit the 3 wood 300 from out of the rough

^^^This one drives me up the frikkin wall. But of course, who am I to criticize Ben Crenshaw while he lines up his puts in the final round of the US Open while playing in front of me.

-being hit into when the course is crowded and slow....if I just hit my drive and am standing in the fairway, don't hit

^^^ saw some fucktards in front of me do this today. I couldn't believe it, especially considering the group in front of them had some BIG DUDES.

^^^ Yep this a classic.


Some others:

Shitty players who take about 10 practice swings. Also, shitty players who go through an excruciatingly meticulous pre-shot routine every frikkin shot. The worst version of this is the guy who thinks he's Crenshaw squatting down and taking 30 seconds to line up the fukking logo for his putt and does the ole Tiger Woods cupping his hands around his eyes to read his line. Oh, and after they hit a ball from the fairway, they take about 45 seconds to get their sorry asses back in the cart because they have to clean the dirt out of the grooves after every damn shot.

Players who don't know that they shouldn't be walking around behind you after you've addressed your ball.

Marshalls who dick around in the woods and marsh collecting balls while they should be telling slow groups to get the lead out of their asses.

[10 uh C VOL]

Playing eighteen holes and seeing the cart girl once and that was on the tenth fairway after stocking up at the turn...

Cart girls that are ugly...

People that spit out their chew on the green...

Assholes that talk on their cellphones at any point during a round (you aren't that friggin important)...

Teeboxes that aren't cut...

When you are waiting to hit an approach shot and the same asshole stops at the edge of every green, looks down the fairway and proceeds to "count" how many shots he is going to say he had...

People that want to hit 2-3 balls off every tee.

People who try to play at nice courses and have no reason to be playing there because they suck that bad. I learned on the cheaper (city) courses. If I'm playing at a nicer course I don't expect to see someone take 3 swings before they make contact, drive 20 yards, and do the same thing.

People who blatantly shave strokes off their score. Not so much that it bothers me, I just think it's funny.

Starters that won't let you go off the back 9 on a slow day.

Another one....

People who live on golf courses who have really loud mouths. One time I was playing with some buddies and some bitch whose house was about 50 feet off the green was out on her deck yakking on her phone about her precious little dog, Chocolate. After a few minutes one of us (not me) turned her way and yelled "FUCK CHOCOLATE!!!"

Those are some great ones, mainly the reason I invest in a private club and play early. But some issues are still evident: we you leave the bunker, take a club and knock the sand off your shoes instead of tracking up the green. Carts- runners who already have beer trying run thru walkers so they can getbto the bar, Dumbasses who hit tee balls before you get to hit your second shot,creeping lack of integrity in the game, and sandbaggers as well as ego handicaps,

What course you belong to Naper? Just in case I'm ever up that way when it ain't 50 below.

Let me know... 20 year old Palmer course. We do also have plethora of 100 year old courses to play.
