Re: Things that annoy you about your fellow golfers

When people all stand by one guy hitting the ball when they could be walking to their own ball. Or when people refuse to hit out of order. Basically when people don't play ready golf.

I have no problem with this. It's a lot better than the alternative. Last week I played with a guy who was constantly walking out in front of me towards his ball as I was going to hit. It was annoying, dangerous, and just slowed things down because I always had to wait to make sure he wasn't in any danger before hitting.

Well he isn't doing it right. You walk way off to the side out of everyone's way, stop and watch when someone behind you hits, then proceed to your ball. There is simply no argument that playing ready golf will cause you to play slower.

Also when people leave their bags on the wrong side of the green

99% of the time when this happens it isn't going to cause you to wait any longer than you would otherwise, it's just an illusion. It's just a matter of whether you're waiting for them to walk across the green before they putt or after they putt.

Still not convinced. So if a player hits it short of the green and chips up to a back pin, and then has to go back to get his bag after he finishes this does not take longer than if he would have brought his bag to the back of the green before he putted?
