Just for fun and not meant to degrade anyone. Just finish the sentence above.

Here's mine:

"you are joined up with a threesome who, at 7:05 in the morning, are already chugging beers and are worried that the 24 pack they bought won't be enough."

You have a 9am tee time, and the course has tee time spacing so close together that they are already 30 minutes behind when you get to the first hole.

[DavePelz4]

When the 9:21 tee time is still on the practice putting green, it's 9:34 and the starter is doing nothing to get their arse in gear.

[nitram]

...when you're a half-hour away from home and 15 minutes til tee time and you realize you've left your wallet (money) laying on the bar at the house. Feel free to substitute money for golf shoes, sun screen, golf bag, etc.

[cardoustie]

When you're paired with three gents that don't like music and aiming fluid ... and they have iron covers and the frilly thing that covers the laces on your spikes

[Petethreeput]

When you get to the tee box, the group your paired with is serious, and you know you are an amateur.

Dude, hit it and chase it.

When you're paired with three gents who think golf carts are mobile bar rooms and don't give a crap about anyone else on the course.

[mukster]

....the starter says to the single that has been paired with you "So buddy, we're going to keep the shirt on today, okay?"

[fufu]

When the group in front lets the green clear on a par 5 before teeing off.  Then proceed to tee off and no one in the group gets one out there over 200.

[Thrillhouse]

When you and your two friends show up at men's night at the club only to be paired with a single who asks how you like your PXG irons on the first tee...

You just described every course in the Phx area.


I left my wallet at home and didn't notice until I got to the course.  That was a long day.

I have to wonder about the IQ level of the director of golf or whoever has set those times to allow this.  It has ZERO benefit to the course, and just p1sses people off.  I purposely avoid two courses in my area because of this.

...when you're warming up in the practice range before you're tee time and you're chunking, duffing, topping the ball left and right and can't get your swing together.

I guess that's why they call it practice, eh?

I walked off a course at the turn because my group was sharing clubs and got mad when I played ready golf and putted out of turn.  They insisted in the furthest out first and not putting out.  It got really old and the 9 took almost 3 hours.  The pro gave me a rain check for 9 but I haven't been back.

..when you "shart" yourself on the first tee putting a tee in the ground.

[sailfishchris]

...... the single you're partnered with snaps his driver, 6 iron, gap wedge, and putter on successive shots on the first hole.......then asks to borrow your driver on the second tee.

[thug the bunny]

When you see 3 young studs in front of you on the first tee playing the tips, dressed the part, and then you see their practice swings and you're like 'oh no...';

[jslane57]

When your golf buddy buys a mixed drink from the cart girl on the first fairway.

[bluejeeprubi]

When I wake up to go to work and realize I can't play golf

[andrue]

..you realise you can't reliably hit anything longer than a 7 iron and frankly even that is burning worms half the time.

I love iron covers, irons can take a beating in the back of the truck when your going 90 down the Florida sun coast and you see the trooper and brake a little to aggressively.

[SixtySomePing]

You're late for your golf league anyway, so you drive faster to make up for it, only to get pulled over for speeding... (I've heard about such things)

[Rob McHugh]

When the single you are paired with shakes your hand vigorously on the first tee and enquires "say, have you ever heard of Amway?"

Rob

[finleysg]

True story: when your company league partner walks out of the pro shop having rented clubs, and purchased new shoes and a sleeve of balls. To get through nine holes, I had to lend him a dozen. We almost ran out, but the final ball survived the last hole.

[King_Slender]

...you're on a 16 man golf trip, the shuttle ready to pull out at 8:00am and for an 8:30 tee time (course is 10 minutes away) and one guy, we'll call him Tim, who was up all night drinking and went for a 13-Mile run in the morning is just jogging down the driveway.  Tim disappears into the house, comes out 15 minutes later and still has shaving cream on his face having just showered and shaved while 15 of us sat on the shuttle.

TRUE STORY!

The thing is though, do you ever see the course not packed? People must really love the course enough to still play ut

There is a course in metro detroit that does 6min intervals and puts zero dollars into the operation; they operate out of a cart barn. All their profit goes towards the course. It is always in perfect condition. People always complain about the pace yet wgen ever i play it, its always packed.

I watched friend baby barth the morning of tournament on the range when teeing up a driver. He still shot 75 i think.

[jjgsgolf]

You're a 0 handicapper and you get paired with 3 hacks that laugh at each other every time they hit a bad shot.

[mumbles236]

after 10 minutes of searching, three members of the foursome in front of you have to come back to re-hit their drives on the first tee

[azkaevolution]

...I decide to load up the bag and head to the course...
