Re: Things that annoy you about your fellow golfers

When people say "good shot" to a bad one. This is more understandable than the cliche person because it usually comes from people who are happy with a 150 yard drive that is higher than 2 feet off the ground. Still can drive you nuts when the pull hook ends up under a rock or tree and they say good shot.

Actually, I prefer this to the opposite: the person who blurts out something negative, stating the obvious. If it looks like someone may be screwed I typically go with "you may have a shot" or "I think I see it", or nothing at all.
There was a guy I played jr. golf with named Joey Snyder - who has gone on to grind out a respectable career, including playing on the big tour the last year or two. He used to unwittingly get under my skin by talking worst-case scenarios, things like "oh man you're dead behind that tree", or "that's a terrible lie". Drove me nuts.
