ANNOYING (and not) GOLFER HABITS/THINGS/ETIQUETTE, What bugs you, what doesn't Options

[blkfaceanh]

Bad:
-The golf course who "only allow people with tee time to play" but when you wait for your tee time, they allow 5 different groups to go before you. You can't honestly tell me that between 2:05-2:10 that 5 group have tee times before my group. Then when your group is up to tee, it's been 45 mins PAST TEE TIME. Yeah, that makes sense. Why book a tee time if I can just walk on and have a higher chance to tee off before my booked tee time?

-The marshal that insist, on a weekend, to let a four-some play ahead of a two-some, follow by a one-some and another one-some......ok......let's NOT pair up groups. That will make everything faster.

-When you start on the first hole and you see the fairway AND green completely empty, only to finish, drive up to hole 2 to see 3 other groups waiting to tee off......W...T....F.

-Slow players that think they are in the PGA, take 5 mins worth of practice swings only to hit the tree 3 feet in front of them.

-Groups that like to drive to every player's ball/look for the player's ball, eventually find it, watch him practice swing for 5 mins only to hit it 3 inches with roll, then drive to the next player's ball/look for the player's ball, eventually find it, watch him practice swing for 5 mins and see him hit the ball straight into the lake, then drive to the next player's ball/look for the player's ball, eventually find it, watch him practice swing for 5 mins and watch him top the ball for 5 feet, then drive to the next player's ball/look for the player's ball, eventually find it, watch him practice swing for 5 mins and then watch him hit the ball into a ditch on the left side of the fairway. Rinse and repeat til they 100 jack on the green and tell each other they made bogey.........wow, go play on the driving range, I hear it's an AMAZING COURSE FOR PEOPLE THAT LIKE TO PRACTICE SWING FOR 5 MINS BEFORE THEY HIT IT MORE THAN 5 FEET!

-Groups that are S L O W! They know who they are. NO FREAKING WAY A TWO SOME CANNOT KEEP UP WITH A FOURSOME! If your that slow, go freaking home. Just go home-->Turn on the computer-->Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and L and wonder what just happen. A TWO-SOME, COMEON!!

-The marshall that suggest to your foursome that you should skip a hole when your on hole 4 because the foursome on hole 1 is about to tee off. Maybe YOU should skip a hole fool!

-The ONE golfer in the group ahead of yours that is EATING A FREAKING SUBWAY SANDWICH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FAIRWAY BEFORE HE EVEN LOOKS OR TAKES OUT A CLUB TO HIT HIS BALL. If you spend more time knowing what club you want to use more than eating that damn sandwich, maybe you wouldn't shank it 3 inches with roll you freaking fool!

-The one guy that is randomly paired into your group that claims he is a scratch golfer but takes more mulligans than you can imagine. Yeah I'm a scratch golfer too than by that standard. In fact, I shoot a 55 overall for an entire 18 based on that math. Yeah, why not? In fact, I just hit a hole-in-one on a 642 Par 5 from the tip!

-The golf store that says they have the "Best Club Maker" in the area but after he puts in your expensive shaft, you find scratch marks all over the shaft and on the top of your club head. You also hear loose poxy in the club head and notice the grip isn't even on correctly because you can still see the tape......GG GOLF ETC IN CLEAR LAKE HOUSTON, TX! Best club maker........what kinda club you making?

Good:
-Marshals that space everyone out

-Golfers that are decent and don't spend FOREVER taking practice swings

-Competitive but not insane golfers

cell phones and loudmouths

Smokers that leave cigarette and cigar butts on the ground. Smoke if you want, I used to, but I snuffed out my butts and kept a baggie in the cart or my bag when walking to collect the butts.

[mrhills0146]

Pace of play! 99% of golfers get irritated by slow play. Of course slow play is frustrating, and it's really detrimental to the game.

However, "speed golf" is just as bad. If you are the type of player who wants to see how fast you can play 18, fine. Go ahead and be the "rabbit" but you'd better be the first tee time on Saturday morning. Nothing worse than seeing groups giving 5' putts and bragging about "my foursome just played in 2.5 hours." Yeah, right.

If you don't have time to play, DON'T PLAY. I agree that a round should NOT take 4 hrs and 45 minutes, but a comfortable pace of play does not equate to trying to set a land speed record either.

[cheeser]

You know what's also annoying? Guys who type more than 1 paragraph or listed more than 2 or 3 bad things in this posting.

My phone is set "on" but I have bird ring tones - about 7 of them I use depending on what state I'm playing in. Black Capped Chickadee, KillDeer, Robin, Red Shoulder Hawk, etc...

To this day nobody has detected my phone is ringing. I've had it go off in people tee shots and they never know. I don't take calls on the course but I leave my phone in my bag sometimes and I won't hear vibrate. If I am "on-call" I need to have a phone around.

Since I hear it all the time I know it's my phone. Hilarious when it goes off indoors in the pro-shop. Guys look around for the bird

You can get some of them at the free sound project, but I got mine at the national geographic website. Convert them to whatever your phone uses and upload them onto your phone. I use an iphone so mine are already iphone-ready.

Message me if you have an iPhone and I will email them to you. They're tiny.

Any chop that hooks a towel to their belt loop. Also hate it when a 17 handicapper has a set of sticks that cost $3000 and a Staff Bag......which last I looked, there are about 44,000 of those guys on this site. Here's a few words of wisdom......if you aren't a 2 or lower, get rid of the staff bag.

Why exactly does this bother you? Petty jealousy perhaps?

These posts never cease to amaze me. Why in God's name would someone's personal belongings have such an affect on another. If this is how one chooses to spend one's money, so be it. SO many other things to worry yourself over...
By the way, I got a stand bag but it says Titleist on it- that OK with you? I fall sufficiently under any handicap requirements you may toss out there so I assume yes...

As another poster said- welcome!!

I love the guys that buy the big staff bags...helps us guys that work in the shop. Although I don't think a 2 handicap would even be good enough to warrant using a staff bag unless you got it for free since the hassle of carrying it around isn't worth the price or look IMO. Hell the one I have doesn't even fit on carts correctly.

What would it matter what any other golfer chooses as equiptment to you. If he wants a staff bag who cares maybe he's a high handicapper and need lots of room for all the balls he will lose:) and to stash a cold 1 to share with me on a hot day... If he wants the latest and greatest clubs who cares, I personally believe if you can afford it why not, I am sure you would to if your mommy allowed it
Most guys I know that can afford the top line clubs also take lessons or are looking to improve their game like every one elase. Why not use every advantage you have available (sort of like teeing up an iron on the tee box, or scouting the perfect drop out of GUR).
Too many guys get worked up over stuff they have no business sticking their noses in. Golf is for everyone young, old, skilled or beginer. I have never met a pimped out beginner who wasnt eager to get helpful advice on the game, rules, etc, stupid advice like "dont use a staff bag" or dont buy the best clubs you can afford that work for you" is not helpful advice....

I'm not exactly sure why you are quoting my post and then half a** trying to insult me on the way. I stated that I didn't care one bit what other golfers play I just said that IMO using a staff bag isn't worth the hassle of carrying it around. It makes zero difference to me if a 20 handicap uses a staff bag. The fact that my "mommy" would allow it is hilarious since I get all my stuff for free and you can't even spell words like equipment or beginner.

Nice to have you here....

- Rant on:

Who cares! Awfully hippocritcal coming from anyone reading a golf discussion board dedicated to the latest and greatest golf equipment. Let people carry and play what they want. I take this personally as I continue to suck at this game although I love it and have worked hard to improve but just lack the skill. This does not mean that I should not be able to own nice equipment. I hope you were talking more about the attitude that somrtimes comes with this sort of player.

Rant off-

Cliff J.

[mrhills0146]

There are so MANY things that can bother you when playing golf. There's an even longer list of things you OUGHT to pay attention to when you play golf.

This is why I'm so floored every time I see these "I can't believe this guy was off 15 and had $4K of equipment in his bag."

W H O C A R E S????

Once again: one thing that a man should never do is tell another man how to spend his own money. Never.

[MiuraPro]

if you aren't a 2 or lower, get rid of the staff bag.

I find that a bit judgmental and shallow, to say the least.If anything, a staff bag is a thing of "golf fashion."  Why should it matter what your handicap is?  If you want to rock a big leather bag, then more power to you.

this is to kingheatly and the rest of ya'll that continually post about staff bag posers....  Get over it....Staff Bags have nothing to do with a golfers skill set, so quit judging them as posers.  I choose the use of a staff bag for several reasons,  I am a diabetic, that is in very good health but I still need to watch myself and dehydration playing golf here in the southeastern u.s.  So I choose to ride.  Hoofers just do not cut it for riding....period.  As for cart bags they maybe a good choice for some,  but for me and probably many other staff bag users think Cart Bags are gimacky.  i.e.  14 club pockets, a million, zillion pockets of no useless size on cart bags.  just put several good sized and a large pocket on the cart bag, like a well made carry bag, plus a majority of the cart bags have too many colors, and designs and a majority of them look like they come from outer space.   A great cart bag would be an appropriately sized traditional staff bag for riding in a cart.  Too me there are two types of bags that have a traditional appearance in the game of golf.  A carry bag or a staff bag.  They are traditional.  Cart bags are not, I think they are novelty bags.  i.e. special putter wells, special sleeve for dispensing balls,  little fastners for towels, gloves, sharpies, built in beverage coolers.  Are you getting my point.  These are the bags being used by the golfers going on a 5 hour picnic.....Everybody on this site needs to get over there staff bag issue.  It has zip, nadda anything to do with a golfers ability or what there ability should be.

Like MasterCard.

[cheeser]

Does anyone here even like to golf? Or does everyone just buy equipment to stare at it?

[Myfast]

We buy equipment to look at and take pictures of to post online. Occasionally we like to rant online and wish the weather was nicer so we could play instead of sitting in front of the computer.

As for annoying things, most of mine have been covered in the thread from slow play to people that dont fix pitch marks on the greens. >_<

My #1 pet peeve is when someone in my group carries their conversation from the cart to the tee box. They try to hurry the last few sentences in a whisper like it's any less distracting when i'm already addressing my shot and have gone through my pre-shot routine. Just shut up or bite your tongue for two seconds and i'll give you the same due respect when it's your shot.

[sigmapete1]

#1 Pet Peeve - people who complain about everything. Golf is fun, enjoy it!

[Carter43]

I hate it when a golfer in my group stands behind or in front of my line of putt to get a read on his ball. I'm in a Friday golf league and I can't believe the number of golfers thatt do this.

I always politely aske them to move off the line, and the begrugingly move. Somtimes they only move an inch or two and I have to aske them to move a little more.

Is there a golf rule against standing on a competitor's line of putt?

I did not see anyone mention this...so, I will say it is really annoying to watch average players (10-20+ hcap) head to the back set of tees and struggle all day long because they don't hit the ball far enough/solid enough to handle 7000+ yards. I know my limits and they are about 6700 yards.

I don't mind frustration, but I cannot stand it when people are dropping F-bombs and GD every time they mis-hit a shot/putt. It is so classless and disrespectful to those around you and to the God that made you. I do my best to chastise myself by name...I remember hearing Jack Nicklaus do this as a kid on tv....he would say "Oh Jack" with a tone that let you know he was frustrated. I wish Tiger would try that instead of F-ing this and GD that. He seems to be a classy player in every way but this. Too bad.

[wholeinwon]

From the other side:

People who come into the shop and check in 5 mins before their tee time, then run the whole course behind because they take another 15 to get out there because the insist on talking on their cell phone or going to the bar, but heaven forbid if you put someone infront of them.

People who call the golf course on a Saturday morning between 9am-12pm and ask if they can "Just come out anytime and walk on"

People who complain about pace of play after they have been told the pace is slow, or their tee time is delayed...these are usually the same people who also complain when a marshall asks them to pick up the pace or skip a hole.

People who call the proshop to complain about pace of play, you then have to go out there to check why they called, and you see the group infront of them a hole ahead and the guys that called waving you over, lining up putts, checking yardage, etc. etc.

People who look for balls in lakes, environmental areas, or in forrests...or whenever a ball retriever is in someones bag, i cringe

People who ask to demo clubs and say to their buddies "ya, i hit this about 325 when I tried it at the golf shop" and they proceed to go to the range to warm up and can barely hit the ball

People who go to the range with a driver, and only a driver before a round

Also for the record...Marshall and the Pro Shop are usually on slow groups by hole 2 or 3...and they both usually are aware of them. There is not much you can do because: 1. Marshall are usually either voltunteers who are working for free golf and retired, or retired and getting paid very little basically wanting free golf, so they don't really want to get yelled at by people on hole #2 and ruin their day so you kinda just try to deal with it the best you can.

It's a lose lose situation for proshop staff and marshall's...if you move a group they are pissed at you, if you don't the group behind is pissed, either way someone is pissed off and for the most part people are usually in both situations at one point or another.

Things I can't stand while playing:

When people complain about a conversation, a noise, another group talking, etc. Ok really? Who do you think you are, if you can't handle noise please leave

People who pace off every approach shots yardage. Really? I'm a + handicap and I don't know exactly how far each iron shot goes because I'm not that consistent, so do you really think because your 144 instead of 150 it's making a huge difference? Just hit it NEAR the green it will probably work out much better and is GREAT for pace of play.

People who wait on Par 4's or 5's...especially Par 5's when it's a 500 yard hole and they hit their driver 200 yards...oh really? is your magic wood coming out of the bag that goes an extra 100 yards? hit your layup and go wait there so the group behind you can tee off.

People who "Reverse Sandbag" There is NOTHING worse then playing with someone who is "about a 2" handicap and they start off double, triple, double, bogey and say "oh must be a bad day"...really?...a bad day? maybe a bad adding job on the score, you last 74 was probably more like 84, get a real handicap and stop acting like a PGA Tour player.

People who change clubs 100 times because "the wind is up" or "oh wrong yardage"....really?...really? your yardage was off by 15 yards so you have to run across the fairway to your cart, run back, take one swing and then top the ball...good, good thing you changed clubs your top might of only gone 30 yards instead of 35.



Sigh...that was good to get off my chest...

People who NEVER put the flagstick back in the hole. You know the types. After holing out, they walk to their bag and let others do the work.

[acantrell]

2. Golfers who smoke that drop ash on the greens leaving burn marks.....

Same here. My usual playing partner and I play at the same muni every Monday, and he's a smoker and does exactly this. Also, there's times when he throws the cigarette down before he hits his shot (mostly on the tee box). I've warned him that one day I'm gonna come to the course the night before and pour circles of gasoline around the teeing areas so that when he throws his cigarette down he's instantly surrounded by a wall of fire. He laughs, but he'll learn his lesson someday...

[johnburkejr]

alot of those i don't see too much but one i do see all the time is people not marking their balls.

it's lame and bugs the crap out of me.

[Carl Spackler2]

People that stand right behind the hole when your putting. Hey man I know you want the line but I dont want to see you scratch yourself while im reading my putt haha.

Oh and the sunflower seeds spit on the green: gross, disrepectful to everyone else, and kinda rednecky.

[skinny99]

I am curious about this one! I have found myself in this situation a couple times,not planning on playing so I don't find people to play with, then the option of playing comes up! What should I do just show up? I think calling is the only thing that makes sense,if they have no openings they can tell you! Enlighten me please. Thanks Todd

I think calling and asking for a tee time would obviously make the most sense. Obviously if you are a single you can ask to be paired with another group.

Is there a golf rule against standing on a competitor's line of putt?

Yes, there is a rule against standing on the line (or an extension thereof) of a player's putt. That is why you always see the pros (and me! ha ha) stand off to the side and then take a couple steps over as the ball rolls so as to see the break.

Pet Peeves?

No classers who NEVER sand/replace a divot, fix a ball marker or rake a bunker.

Loud mouths who are swearing, exclaiming, or otherwise have loud diarrhea of the mouth during play. Especially when you are in middle of backswing on adjacent tee!

Any nasty a** cranky miserable SOB who manages to find a way to gripe and complain and otherwise act like an uncouth jerk continually (often because they are not scoring like Tiger despite having a swing that looks like a backhoe falling down a hill! ) when having the great fortune to play this beautiful game on almost any day. Amazing to me how many just plain miserable people there are on the golf course sometimes!

If you don't have time to play, DON'T PLAY. I agree that a round should NOT take 4 hrs and 45 minutes, but a comfortable pace of play does not equate to trying to set a land speed record either.

to add to not having the time to play...DON'T BE LATE TO YOUR TEE TIME!!! I like to get the feel of the putting green before teeing off so I'm always on time but I know some people who are fun to play golf with but hate to wait for.

You know what's also annoying? Guys who type more than 1 paragraph or listed more than 2 or 3 bad things in this posting.

HEY! they can't help it! that's how bad their experiences are with some golfer's. Don't blame them, blame the cause.

There are so MANY things that can bother you when playing golf. There's an even longer list of things you OUGHT to pay attention to when you play golf.

I discovered something that I really cannot stand yesterday . . . metal cups.

I HATE the sound of a ball falling into a metal cup. I almost didn't want to make my putts because of it.

-The golf store that says they have the "Best Club Maker" in the area but after he puts in your expensive shaft, you find scratch marks all over the shaft and on the top of your club head. You also hear loose poxy in the club head and notice the grip isn't even on correctly because you can still see the tape......GG GOLF ETC IN CLEAR LAKE HOUSTON, TX! Best club maker........what kinda club you making?

If you are in the Houston area, I would suggest going to Swede Golf in Deer Park. You would be better off buying equipment and parts elsewhere, and taking it to them, but they do good work for fairly inexpensive. They are on San Augustine, about 500 feet west of Center street.

Hate to be a complete d***, but they actually proved on Mythbusters that a cigarette butt can't ignite gasoline.

Still though, that would be pretty hilarious to see.

[Double True]

-Courses that try and squeeze groups out in 5 minute time slots instead of closer to 10.
-Marshalls that don't marshall but instead drive around and look for lost golf balls.
-Chops that scream and curse when they miss their 10 footer for double bogey.
-D*cks that play your ball without taking 5 seconds to look at it.
-People that have no sense to look around the green at where the other marks are at and proceed to walk on your line.
-First one in gets the pin right? Not for those great people that putt out first and walk off....
-People that don't fix divots or rake bunkers.
-Flags in utterly recockulous pin positions like on a side slope of a two tiered green where there is water on that side.
-Pretty much every thing else that all of you mentioned before me.

[Marrrk]

of all things, nothing bothers me more than people who TAKE FOREVER at the turn. my dad goes into semi-retirement after the 9th hole. he disappears into the clubhouse and i don't see him again for 20 minutes. come on, pops! get the hell back on the course already!

[Marrrk]

oh yeah, and people who live directly on golf courses and act shocked, SHOCKED! that your ball hit their house. it's one thing to come out and check for damage, but it's another thing to act like the possibility of this obscene monstrosity never crossed your mind.

[theshow]

Got to be honest here, don't play golf w/your girlfriend, and don't play golf w/girlfriend and family! It's going to be a miserable day. I know your trying to be a good guy, but it will be a long day!

Yeah true, but her some of her family that usually goes are bad @ss at golf. one is a low single, one shoots low 80's and another shoots mid 80's but occasionally breaks 70. a couple of them were the main reasons why I started...I just had to beat her dad at golf HAHA! and my gf plays well too she is better than average for women golfers.

at the beginning of it all I was the one who was making it a long day got better since then, but anyways I can see how it could be miserable. but once a year they all go and it's nice.
