Re: Things that annoy you about your fellow golfers
I just played on a reputably nice local course last week. While the course was indeed in great condition, the people running the place must have been retarded. I pay for the round and am told, "Take this ticket to the starter at XXXX time. That is when you will be starting." I was thinking, "Nice, they even have a starter here."
So we get down to the first tee area about 20 minutes before time and to my surprise there is a group of around 15 4-somes, about a third of which have already started play. We talk to the starter, and he makes us wait until all of the groups tee off (by the way, we were a twosome). But the starter (some grumpy old-timer) does not adequately space the groups out. He has the next group teeing off at the exact moment the previous group clears the landing area for a drive.
It was the longest, most miserable round I've played to date. To exacerbate matters, the group in front of us would not allow us to play through and were excruciatingly slow. I've considered a personal policy of no more weekend golf.
Even though they are not fellow competitors, add clubhouse pros/chumps and bad starters to the list of golf annoyances.
