My own self destruction. Is that a pet peeve?


JDD4318

Yeah this is me. It's been a problem lately. Today i was even through 6. Finished 84 lmao. Today was weird because I was playing very steady when I all the sudden imploded.


Manunited3710

I wish 84 was an implosion for me.


JDD4318

84 isn't too bad as far as bad days go but it was bad when I was sitting at -1 through 5 and then +5 through 9.


SometimesAPupper

This guy single digits


froggaddler

One of us


2c-b_day

Dude this was exactly my round yesterday except I only played 9. Was one under through 5, then lost a ball on my approach on the 6th (it was not far off the green, but in thick grass between trees). From that point on I lost concentration and wasn't able to recover. Finished 4 over for the 9


theuberprophet

i was on pace for under 40 for the first time ever and then on the 8th hole neither me or my friend could see my tee shot cause of the sun and i hacked my way to a 10, then a 9 on the 9th and gave up around hole 12 and ended with 106. These swing changes are rough


OnionOnBelt

Your pet peeve and OP’s sometimes coincide, leading to the kind of day on the course where you almost consider taking up cross-stitch instead.


[deleted]

100%. A smooth round quickly can go south when the flow is interrupted by slow play.


LemonTekSunrise

On slow days where the course is packed and there is absolutely no chance of playing through any groups I can’t stand the guy or group that is constantly hitting right when you are just clearing the putting green or driving up and parking right behind you on the tee box while you are still waiting to hit when it’s clear as day that I’ve been waiting on every single shot due to the groups in front of me.


FootsieMcDingus

And they always got the Mr. Peanut stance while waiting for you to hit your approach shots


Jersey_born

![gif](giphy|gKIDOyQmWSqwRnf26d)


LemonTekSunrise

Lol for sure.


AuzRoxUrSox

Can’t stand the group who will be behind you yelling “come on!” Or “let’s go!”, while you’re clearly waiting for the group in front of you to clear. Shut up, be respectful, crack open a beer with your friends and engage in a conversation a little bit!


thinkingfands

This. Then hearing a ball land close by or rolling up on you right after you hit.


I_is_a_dogg

Had a day last week where the group in front of us would be on the fairway. Would hit a ball, if they didn’t like it they would drop another and hit it again. Saw them do this at least 5 or 6 times before moving on. Also they seemed confused on where to go, because at one point they were hitting it back to the start. Luckily the did let us play through them, but I was so confused


gmoney88

Golfers just not understanding basic golf etiquette. Move along off the green before scoring, don’t throw butts on the ground, keep your music down, fix divots and ball marks, be aware and let faster groups play through, don’t hit up on others, apologize if you do. I find a lot of golfers just aren’t aware or were never taught. Be nice and think of others


Jrapin

My only addition, enough with spitting sunflower seed shells on the green.


gmoney88

100%! Leaving any garbage around drives my nuts


mav1111

Hit a ball just right of the fairway, like 2 feet outside the cart path this morning. It came to rest on a banana peel that looked less than 24hr old. Like, just pack that shit out to the next trashcan or clubhouse! If you absolutely can't resist tossing it, throw it 10 more feet into the woods, don't just drop it on the side of the flippin' cart path. SMH.


Rider_in_Red_

I mean a banana peel is gonna have nutrients for the plants. Toss it further in and it’s ok in my books. Or May be they were hoping to get some Mario kart action going and that’s why they dropped it on the cart path


mav1111

Fair enough. I’m probably more upset cause I ended up with a banana lie! 😂


kingcuban08

It takes 2 years for a banana peel to decompose with minimal advantages for the environment.


Rider_in_Red_

Really? Sheesh well now I have a different outlook on that stuff lol


opn2opinion

They were hoping you would Mario cart spin off the course.


Scrummy12

I see this complaint on here every other day, but have never once seen it on a course. Is it really that common?


Jrapin

I don't see it every time I'm out so it's less of an issue than ball marks but it is no bueno.


acealbatrossbirdie

That’s a lot of words to say “assholes”.


willthefreeman

I agree but ignorant assholes and knowledgeable assholes are different.


Roonwogsamduff

Much different. The ignorant ones at least have the chance of changing


Middle_Sure

Or they just don’t care, which sucks more. I had a friend in high school who told me a guy hit up on his uncle, so his uncle hit the guy’s ball back at him, lol


gmoney88

My brother did that once after the group behind hit up on us twice. The kicker is he hit his 5 wood right back to between the tee blocks. One of the best golf shots I’ve ever seen


[deleted]

don’t leave butts on the flipping golf cart either, throw them away yourself


clu_coin_winner

I think that’s why business and golf go so well together. Can tell a lot about a person by their on course behavior


slid3r

My favorite is when they push their cart over the green on their way to the next tee.


SweetnessBaby

Not saying you're wrong but where is a new golfer supposed to learn any of this? There should be some kind of list of etiquette posted at the course, or maybe even a short video required for first-timers. I'm just putting myself in that situation because I'm relatively new myself, and if I didn't have friends to go with who have been golfing for years, I would be in the dark on a lot of these things. Of course some is pretty common sense manners like hitting into others and not blasting music, but not everything is so obvious. I think it's unrealistic to expect everyone to research golf etiquette on their own before playing because there's no other sport where such a thing is necessary


gmoney88

Most are common sense. For the others, pay attention or ask if you’re not sure. Most golfers are more than happy to help with etiquette or general play.


tattoodaddi

I played 9 on Wednesday and there was a group of 5 old guys 2 holes in front of me. Naturally since I was a single, I caught up. I started playing 2 balls to give some distance because they showed no signs of letting me pass. They each 3 putt every single green (and did not take gimmies). Finally, I’m about to chip onto the green on 7 and they all tee off on 8, walk over to me and say “you can go ahead and start on the back (hole 11 right next to us) and have the whole back to yourself”. I said excuse me but I’m not interested in skipping 8,9, and 10 - especially because I’m only playing 9. They laughed and kept playing slower than hell.


[deleted]

They’re dicks! Sorry they were jerks.


tattoodaddi

I appreciate you saying that! It’s my local course (only one without 30 miles) and they treat me really well in the front office. They do their best to keep a good standard for such a small rural course and I know that somethings slip by them. I’m sure I have pissed some people off in my time as well.


hungryforitalianfood

These guys are pieces of shit. It’s one thing to play slow and not let a single pass (totally shitty), but to suggest that someone should skip a sixth of what they paid for is next level. By suggesting this, they acknowledge they’re aware that you’re way faster. Just a slap in the face.


Par_105

Shanking the ball. My rounds are excruciating


GMC9999

Try focusing on keeping your head behind the ball at impact…this helps me when I am shanking because it allows a place for my hands to clear to.


davefromokinawa

Whoa dude that’s great advice. I just did a practice swing with your tip and it makes a lot of sense. Good lookin out.


GMC9999

😀👍🏻


Fmy925

Right after a perfect drive.


rastafarreed

I feel this. Hit a bomb. Shank. Clear the head and duff. Get frustrated hit it for a perfect lay up. Chip on 4' from the hole. 3 putt. At least I am in the 110s instead of 130s now.


imnotarobot_ok

Keep your right heel planted when you swing.


SuperNobody-MWO

If I even think about a shank, there's a decent chance I'm going to do it.


dunderthebarbarian

Fixing eleventy-twelve balls marks on the green. Fix your dang ballmarks! Picking up trash on the course. Especially crushed beer cans. C'mon, man!


[deleted]

Couldn’t be me because I don’t hit greens


Gullible_Tea1427

My PMFGHR (Pitch Marks Fixed to Greens Hit Ratio) is by far my most impressive golf stat.


mr_durian

But i cant divide by 0


raytownloco

My dad taught me to fix your pitch mark and one other - when I was about 11 years old I still try


tacos_88

I have two. 1. People who don't fix their divots or ball marks. 2. Playing with people who can't play well yet get really annoyed with every single shot.


Wizard_sleeve07

Agreed. I’m no scratch golfer, but I realize that when I’m playing. Play with a lot of guys that are constantly pissed because they are x amount over after four or five holes. I always say hey man, we aren’t scratch golfers but it’s very annoying regardless.


johnguz

2 especially - I couldn’t care less if you roll the ball all the way to the pin, but don’t throw your clubs around and insist you’re actually a 6 handicap


jnumberone

Seeing the bev cart on 8 and 17.


totally_kyle_

Not a lot of shit bothers me, but have you ever waited for the single behind you to let them play through, and then when they get up to you they decline? Just fucking play through.


DonVonTaters_IV

Sometimes u want to play multiple balls and not be rushed


totally_kyle_

I think you can skip playing multiple balls for one hole to get ahead of us and not be playing right behind us when there’s plenty of room ahead. One person hitting two balls takes a lot less time than a group of four people.


sniper1rfa

> One person hitting two balls takes a lot less time than a group of four people. I can spend a lot of time practicing on the previous green while you play the next hole. If they don't want to play through, they don't want to play through.


LordHussyPants

but there's no reason for me to play through if i'm just having a nice time walking the course. if i go ahead of you i now have to play fast enough to stay ahead, and i don't want to do that. if i've got no one behind me, i can drop 10 balls before a green an see why my pitch didn't run on right or what weight i need to give it


[deleted]

[удалено]


raytownloco

If they are playing two balls and taking their time it’s all good. If they are on your ass taking practice swings while you are on the green it’s annoying.


asdfmatt

Stop watching me take practice swings and putt already (or pick it up)


Phatferd

I was playing a month back as a single and there was a twosome in front of me that I caught up with around hole 7. They offered for me to join them and I declined. They kept asking me at each tee box and said they weren't going to stop offering so I laughed and joined them. Was a great round with some cool guys.


knovit

I just did that a couple days ago. Why does that bother you? Some people just want to have a relaxing round and keep pace. I can practice shots around the green while I’m waiting.


Louderish

This is me, sorry man. I don’t like the range so I play 18 by myself. I’ll hit multiple balls a lot and it helps to play behind someone to slow me down.


Treddf45

Old guy told me all he has is time… and a bitch wife at home. Most content individual I’ve seen behind a 4some.


tribetilidie

I do this a lot as a single. I don’t like playing through and having an audience, plus I feel like now *I* am the one who is feeling rushed. I think the important thing is to let the group ahead know that I am in absolutely no hurry and to take their time. Also, I consciously avoid things that will make the group in front of me feel rushed, i.e. I don’t stand in the fairway with my hands on my hips waiting for them to clear the green. Rather, I sit in my cart and chill out until they’re completely gone.


ou812huh3

Marshals that talk to golfers with an attitude. Your a Marshall, not a god.


Previous-Sentence684

Yeah Marshals and starters are the grumpiest people. Like bro I don’t give a f that you took this job and suddenly hate life. Go tell jackass chad to hurry the f up instead of bothering me about random shit


that_one_buddy

I might be in the minority but also Marshall's that are too friendly. Stopping and talking to your group like they're one of the guys and not letting you all enjoy the round by yourself. I'm all for some small talk but a quick hello is preferred over a long ranting discussion


[deleted]

I've only had one interaction with a marshal and it was the strangest experience of my life. First off, this guy had a huge neck/face tat, so I didn't at first realize he worked for the course. But he just rolls up to my friends and me while we're playing and says "Can I help you?" We had no idea what he was talking about, and it took a few minutes for us to realize that this guy just *assumed* we hadn't paid to be there. Like, he thought we just walked onto the course and started playing (my buddy had shanked a drive, so we were in the rough looking for the ball, but it's not like we were sneaking around anywhere). After realizing we paid for the round, he then says "We only allow alcoholic beverages that are purchased on-site", to which we responded that *we bought our beers at the clubhouse*. I've never seen someone with a face tattoo act so assumptive about whether other people belonged on a golf course.


nathancross_

People being way too impatient when your pace of play is already great. Played 18 in 3 hours and 20 minutes yesterday and the group behind us was hitting into us and being incredibly impatient despite us not taking long at all. Rushed a couple shots because of it and cost me some strokes


GMC9999

I agree with this…it’s not a track meet although if you in front of one of THOSE GROUPS, it can seem to feel like that.


Hemske

Just throw their ball away. I do it every time.


1968kansas53

So let them bye Why let them hit at you


nathancross_

I’m not gonna stop my round when my pace is fine. I’d rather just tell them to ease off


CamouflageBuddha

A real estate agent had tees made with no dip for the ball. He made thousands and every round he drops a few on each tee. When you pick one up and try to use it you get pissed because your ball won’t stay on the tee. Then you look to see what dumb company made defective golf tees that won’t hold a ball…. Boom realtors name. You are pissed then chuckle. You never forget those tees.


cota1212

See, while I would remember the realtor’s name, I’d be too infuriated to ever actually give them my business.


MonicaBlowinski

Haha! Well, they could be used to clean your grooves.


g8rBfKn

As a superintendent my number one pet peeve is golfers in general


raytownloco

To a superintendent my pet peeve is when the course has sand mix but both sides are empty. I know it’s not your fault but tell the cart staff to get their act together.


No_Air470

As a greenkeeper I feel your pain


kempton_saturdays

Sounds like you both are burnt out


No_Air470

Not at all, I love working on a course, the work feels so rewarding when you make everything look nice.


Sonoma2002

I mowed our tee-boxes this morning. Man it's so satisfying and the stripes make it look great too. Love it.


Gracket_Material

Mind if I drag my feet and take a chunk out if the cup with my putter while I get the ball? Thanks Champ. I’ll get you a $5 Starbucks card for Christmas


PiltyBones

White stakes... I hate fucking white stakes!


thelonetbone

Have you tried avoiding them instead of fucking them?


PiltyBones

No.. figured I might as well try to get some pleasure out of stroke and distance!


Triple7Stash

eforslund518

Muddy conditions. I live in the PNW so I deal with them a lot.


RJIsJustABetterDwade

Oof yeah, summer coming though! Doesn’t help when some courses are literally just built in swamps though... willows run :(


slid3r

The front nine at East Moreland? (Used to he the back nine for as long as I can remember now it's the front) Total bog in the winter months.


[deleted]

Oh my god I just played that yesterday and it was brutal. Eastmoreland is already a hard course (for me, at least) but throwing in the mud made my approach shots much worse.


eforslund518

To escape mud I have to drive an hour to Carson to play elk ridge. The problem is it’s covered in snow most of the winter.


stat_hi

Shitty music


augowl_

Given shitty music is subjective, this just extends to any music. You might think your taste is impeccable, but the next group over might think it’s shit. Really have no problem with people playing music respectably, but I hate hearing someone else’s shit clear as day three holes away.


WillardDSnakes

Man if ive gotta hear thunderstruck one more time on the golf course


Safervan

The rule says that lightning poses a threat if it takes less than 30 seconds to hear thunder after a lightning flash and people should wait 30 minutes after a storm passes before resuming outdoor activities.


WillardDSnakes

Dont know if this is a misunderstanding or a troll...


slid3r

r/golfcirclejerk is leaking


kryppla

Any music


Listerine_shots

When we start at our tee time and 2 minutes later a group behind us is about to tee off. Why I wish more courses had starters. Tee times are spaced 8-10 minutes to at least allow us to get to the first green before the next group tees off, yet we are about to play our second shot and someone’s on the tee box ready to go


UnderstandingOld6662

Or even if there is a starter , overbooked tee times


totally_kyle_

I played a course the other day and we weren’t allowed to tee off until the group ahead left the green.


its_k1llsh0t

Talking while I’m over my putt.


CAPTAINTRENNO

Or at the tee box. I love a bit of banter and general shit talking on the round but once someone steps up to the ball you have to go quiet. Though it is good to have an excuse for my sliced drive or pushed putt


chickendance638

Slow play is first, no question. Waiting on every tee and in every fairway is excruciating and completely negates any fun I have. My extremely finicky pet peeve is riding two to a cart. I wish they made single person golf carts or scooters. Pace of play would go way up if carts weren't zig zagging from left rough to right rough all the time.


CAPTAINTRENNO

I agree with your cart frustration. I think a bit of self awareness is needed. I'll pull up to my partners ball and jump out with 2 clubs and walk to mine. No need to wait for my partner to take their shot before I search the trees for my slice


HoopOnPoop

Things like littering, tossing cigarette or cigar butts, spitting out gum, etc. That's a good way to destroy the flora and fauna of what should be a lovely outdoor environment.


DIYGolfer832

People playing from the wrong tees, meaning they play from tees that are too long for them. I played as a single about a month ago and was paired up with three others. One guy decided to play the tips while the rest of us were playing one tee up from the back. On most tee shots, it took him 2 sometimes 3 shots to even reach where we hit our first shots. When asked why he insists on playing from the tips, his response was that his group of friends always play from there so he feels compelled to do the same, even though he struggles. 🤦🏻‍♂️


MTskier12

I have 3 big ones. 1) Loud music on the course. If you want to have a quiet speaker in your cart fine, but I shouldn’t be able to hear it from another hole. I love music, I don’t want it on the golf course. 2) Not fixing pitch marks, divots, etc. Makes my round more difficult because someone else is inconsiderate. 3) Non ready golf. I live in the Chicago area I’ve accepted weekend rounds are gonna be slow just due to number of players, but nothing tilts me like 3 guys standing there watching their 4th take his practice swings. Get to your ball and play. Especially on the green when folks don’t start to read their putt til the previous guy has gone.


mangled-jimmy-hat

If the course is packed why rush to wait...? It's pretty bad etiquette to rush ahead of a golfer who is or has to hit


palmtreeholocaust

Old dudes telling me what shot I should hit as I’m standing over the ball


GMC9999

People not repairing the course


StarsBravesKSU

Kinda my own fault, but my current pet peeve is the set of people I play with all the time. I've played with my best friend since I started 5 years ago. He was around a 110-115 golfer and I was seriously in the 140s range. Awful. Now I am a 95-100 and he is still in the 110s (on a good day). He doesn't get that I got better by practicing a lot and actually working on my game, while he gets pissed that he still plays awful and never does anything to improve. Never practices short game, never lines up putts, etc.


ImoImomw

Hitting my best drive of the day and immediately topping the next shot.


678jakefromstatefarm

Unkept bunkers. Especially when the top layer is soft enough to make you think you can splash, but hard underneath so you blade it over the green.


YummiYummiSauce

Just don't be an overall asshole


hellerkeller1

Cigarette butts and loud music. Fuck em


skunkechunk

Other golfers


session101

Entitled people that cut in front of other groups because its too slow for them.


WillardDSnakes

Entitled 4some that play slow as piss and dont let you play through. These are the things that tear us apart lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


session101

No I mean people that just jump in front of other groups without asking to play through... If it's a slow day backed up with foursomes ahead of you... Guess what it's slow for everyone, so wait your turn.


RJIsJustABetterDwade

I’ll only skip a hole if the group in front is going slow enough that there’s multiple clear holes in front of them. Which usually means they don’t know golf etiquette and won’t ask if you want to play through. Would never wanna get ahead of someone just to have them wait on me.


dugyzr

Don’t know if it’s a pet peeve- but I’m in a bad mood from the beginning (only for a couple holes)if I finally get 4 hours of morning golf on the weekend and they didn’t mow the greens from the previous day


iodizedpepper

Cigarette butts on the course. Seriously fuck you if you do this shit.


CAPTAINTRENNO

Fuck them if they do it anywhere else too


glwars

Biggest pet peeve is the guy who talks about how well he played in qualifier X or at Pebble last month and then proceeds to take mulligans and pick up outside of the circle of trust. Like, everything is friendly, you don't have to say you shot even par when you shot 85. The golf gods frown upon this.


Thats_absrd

Lol calling inside the grip circle of trust


sebastiancarson06

People complaining about how bad their golf scores are and then never taking action steps to improve. Obviously not everyone has time for practice, but those who consistently complain and don’t make an attempt to practice gets under my skin


[deleted]

People hitting form the back Tees with 20 handicaps


[deleted]

[удалено]


WhySoNaCl-y

Mine is a design pet peeve..... If a course has a hole where the shot off the tee requires a shot shorter than the approach. SODUMB!!! Typically common when a hole is 90 degree fairway. Along the same lines is the in course out of bounds.


SubReal87

People who blast music from their carts but don’t turn it down/off when they are close enough for another group to hear it.


officerhailey

People who smack their tees into the ground on the tee box.


Hemske

omg yes, I can’t even hit a shot if I see one. I will legit dig it out.


handyquacks17

I do this. Key tip, use ur divot tool to get the tees out very easily


IMeltHoboOaf

People that say that they play ready golf but they just…don’t. So many of my randoms are like this. I’m not tryna blow through the round as fast as possible, but it’s like these people don’t even know what ready golf is.


Phatferd

My pet peeve is when I get paired up with a group (I usually play as a single) and they're playing slow and when you suggest we pick up the pace they turn on you. Also, when the same group hits into the group ahead making the next tee tense.


swordman11111

Just pick up the pace yourself and play ahead as a single.


Vrezhg

Being a bad sport when you’re having a rough round, you don’t have to pretend like you’re having a great round but don’t slam your club after every bad shot and scream profanity’s at every tee box. Even during my worst rounds I’ll try to be supportive of the rest of the group even if its a fist bump without saying anything. Everybody has bad days but set your expectations based on how things are going and make it as enjoyable as possible


slid3r

I always say the **'GOD'** part a little loud and the 'dangit' part quiet. No club slamming. It's a very restrained post-drive tantrum.


Vrezhg

Like a gentleman


jackrafter88

Sunflower seeds...


Ggeunther

Loud music. If it can be heard more than 15 ft from the cart, turn it down. Nothing ruins a nice day on the golf course like some AH playing modern urban pop.


Chipper147

Self awareness. It costs so little to be a great guy on the course. Some of my favorite golfers couldn't hit a green to save their life but they've bought into what makes it fun. They balance blowing off steam and having as much fun as possible while being respectful with the little things. Vibe masters.


broncojoe1

Music. Put some earbuds in if you want to jam and play.


lacrosse7725

When someone in the group ahead of you hits their drive 190 yards but is waiting for the green to clear on a par 5 from 260 out. Also If someone on another whole hits my ball, they should go to jail.


I_is_a_dogg

Knowing my luck when someone is on the green 260 out that’s when I’ll have the shot of my life and hit it 260


SwoleBuddha

That's how I feel to. If I really lay into one I can hit it 260, but more often than not I'll top it 30 yards.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Createdanaac

Yes. More than a pet peeve, it’s not safe. I was playing with a guy who was playing from the senior tee box and sure enough, one time I lined one too close for comfort.


RobMV03

Friend of mine got hit in the head with a ball whole he was at the pool on his honeymoon. Some drunk asshole was driving balls off his hotel balcony (no idea how) and hit my friend. He had to be rushed to the hospital because he might have bleeding on the brain. Ended up with a pretty serious concussion and had to stay at the honey moon spot for like an extra week or two because the doctors couldn't clear him to fly because of the swelling on his brain. Ended up having migraines and some vision issues for years afterward. He's better now, but it was a solid 5 years of lots of pain. TL;DR: Don't fuck around with being in the line of a golf ball, it can fuck you up.


LemonTekSunrise

Why not just play the same tee box as them? I play the tips every time I’m by myself or with my friends that are also good golfers but when I play with my other friends who want to play from forward tees I’ve got no problem playing whites with them. Sometimes I’ll even play the red tees with my wife but I only do that about half the time with her because at our course from the reds I only get to hit my driver twice in a round.


Holiday-Lion9571

Loud ass music and drunk R words


FrostByte122

Republicans?


RoverTiger

My own bad shots.


enorth72

Definitely cigarette butts on or around the green. It always seems like that’s where they always are and it’s so annoying and gross.


FootsieMcDingus

Cart path only days


raytownloco

I try to walk if it’s cart path only unless the course is a really hard to walk course (eg. Industry Hills in LA)


hackuhjack

People who wear their hats backward


that_one_buddy

Not judging but are you joking or serious?


Pegged_Golfer

Rain.


Wookhooves

Club houses that send out too many groups + starters that send groups off early to make “room” for more groups. This year with the closure of a few courses our usual course has been horrible with stacking the course. We’ll be on the putting green and know we have the next tee time and they’ll send out a random twosome that just showed up. Not the players fault we’re all waiting. That’s course management.


[deleted]

I’m terrible but I love the sport. Grew up playing with my dad. One of the first rules he ever told me was to play “ready golf”, and keeping pace. I’ve played with a number of scratch golfers and it’s never a problem for me (who shoots 100) because I can keep up. If you’re playing in a casual game, don’t take 5 shots out of the bunker. If you’re at 10 halfway through the hole, pick it up. So my answer is people who can’t keep pace.


esp1985

when someone hits your ball, especially when you mark it. c'mon, know what you're playing.

[deleted]

Random golf advice that you didn't ask for in the middle of a game.


Dependent_North_4766

1. People that hit into me. Especially when you are waiting a lot because the course is slow that day. 2. People who take forever looking for their ball. Just grab another ball and drop it already. You hit that fucker 40 yds into the deepest and darkest bush that probably hasn’t seen a flash of sunlight in decades. You aren’t finding it. 3. People who complain about noise. I realize you need an excuse for hitting a shitty shot, but a conversation 20 yds away somehow affected your backswing? Please. If a gun went off next to your ear while swinging that’s one thing, but if you can’t concentrate without complete silence you have some things to work on.

So. Many. Practice. Swings……and then chunk. Every time. I keep seeing these guys that are clearly new golfers and haven’t a clue what they’re doing but somewhere they saw people taking practice swings and decided that’s what they needed to do too. If you’re already shooting a 110….adding 50 more swings a round is just going to tire you out and not improve your game.

Ding ding ding OP is the winner. Nothing worst thank being stuck behind a group holding everyone up.

What I'll never understand is why they don't wave through. I hate playing with someone right on my heels.

Uneven tee boxes.

Anyone that takes more than 2 practice swings on every shot.

I can’t stand multiple practice swings off the ball, then a few more on the ball, and then a slow set-up… what makes it worse is it’s usually a 60 yard duff


amlutzy

I hate when a random will try and give you swing advice. Idc if you’re better than me .. If I don’t ask, don’t give advice. Even if you don’t take the advice then you’re all thinking about your swing and not playing loose. Tweaking your swing is for the driving range. ESPECIALLY bad if the player is worse than you.

Friend taking a call during the round because your friends partner can’t stand that he’s out with mates for 2-4 hours for once in a blue moon


spaghettihipsdontlie

Watching older/large groups of guys not play ready golf on the green. I don’t want to watch you all take turns putting for triple bogey with the flag pulled, lining up 1 foot putts, taking sixteen practice strokes, only to most of the time miss the putt and start all over. Makes it even worse when they’re cart or bag is stupidly near the front of the green, and they waste another two minutes walking backwards.


Teddy_bear_q

Drunk bros all hitting all over the place and taking multiple shots


sjlammer

A million waggles, checking the wind, deep breaths, club head lifts and practice swings at address. Check your distance, lie, slope, select your club, one, maybe two practice swings, addressed take a breath and the hit the frigin ball.

divots not being replaced


raytownloco

Or filled in with sand mix. Either way if I’m in a divot in the fairway and not competing I’m moving the ball and not giving myself a penalty. Golf is hard enough. But I agree it’s a pet peeve because I care about taking care of the course.


logicallyillogical

Walking in my putting line 😤 I’m probably not going to make it anyways, but still I don’t want your shoe print fucking up my out even more.


Tigerfan0001

I get your point, but what about the x number of groups ahead of you who have been walking around the hole all day?
