Re: Things that annoy you about your fellow golfers

What's interesting is the subset of golfers that's the fastest is the one you'd consider to be the slowest: old men. They blaze around courses - whether they're walking or riding - like they have to be somewhere, when in reality they don't have to be anywhere, ever. [/ QUOTE ] This is so wrong.

LOL as a caddy for 12 years Experience = Speed. Old men are great. Once they get this far they know being slow is a killer. SO Accurate.

[/ QUOTE ] I completely agree... with the provision that they must be playing in a cart. Old men walking = kill me please. I usually play 9 holes in the mornings before work with my boss and we always let this twosome of older dudes go before us because we know they'll be a hole or two ahead of us by the end of the round. One of them is a 91 year-old man who can't hit his driver more than 120 yards but hits it and every other one of his clubs perfectly straight. His putting? Makes me want to cry how good it is. I played with him once and I think he finished only a couple of strokes over par. Old men ftw.

People that tally their scores on the 18th green while you are waiting to hit... [/ QUOTE ] yea i just thinking of this when i read your post. it applies to all holes though, not just the 18th... this happened to my friend and i on the first hole the other day when we were playing behind a 3some. one of the guys literally stood on the back of the green, turned around at the 1st hole and recounted all his strokes as we stood in the fairway waiting to hit on, i was actually quite shocked that he didn't realize he was wrong for doing it. it was pretty obvious right then that this was going to be the longest 9 holes of my life, luckily i know the starter who was driving around the course and he drove us to the back 9 where there were some free holes to jump onto

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

Phoenix, really. The stud games used to be great but not last time I was there (2003). Any feel for this? Thanks, I 'll be there in July. [/ QUOTE ] This would be a great question to ask in the B&M forum. Ironically I lurk that forum quite a bit but rarely post there or even play live these days. However, there are several Phoenix players who are very helpful, the consensus being that CAZ (Casino Arizona, adjacent to Scottsdale) spreads the best games.

Re: Things that annoy you about your fellow golfers
I get frustrated when I hit a tee shot off of the toe or heel and it flys straight and with a good trajectory, but 20-40 yards less than a nutted tee shot and I hear....I "nice shot"...or better yet "wow".
side note: These comments usually come when the player who commented is playing well, above average; otherwise he would not comment on my crap POS shot.
