Re: Things that annoy you about your fellow golfers
The MOST annoying thing a person can do is whine. Don't complain that you should've done this or that when you clearly don't have the skill to do either.

[ QUOTE ] morons who dont know that letting people play through is beneficial to everyone on the course [/ QUOTE ] QFT. WINNER!!! [/ QUOTE ] Yeah that does win, but I also thought it was kind of obvious. Not to the people not letting people through though, I guess. One time my brother and I were playing as a twosome (this is at Brown Deer in Coralville, IA, for those familiar with it). On about the 14th hole we came upon a foursome that was heinously slow. There was clearly nobody in front of them. Clearly. Yet they just kept plodding along. My response, however immature, was to slam on the breaks and squeal on the pavement when stopping, or to stand in the middle of the fairway and glare at them. This whole thing reached its nadir on the 17th hole, a par-3 that goes quite a ways downhill. I was having a great round prior to running into those douchebags, and I was annoyed that they were taking me out of my happy place. So I took out a driver and started pounding balls over their head into the pond behind the hole. NOW they paid attention to me, confronting me when I came up to the green and telling me they were going to turn me in. I basically told them to STFU, that I was visiting from another state anyway, and they were the ones that started it by forcing our pace to a crawl and not letting us play through.

Re: Things that annoy you about your fellow golfers
It bothers me when people get mad that I hit into their group because they are slow.....

Re: Things that annoy you about your fellow golfers
The people I play with never want to do anything other than just keep score for themselves. When I try and suggest something they look at me like I have three heads. It wouldn't really bother me but none of them keep a handicap and they don't even come close to following all the rules anyway.

Re: Things that annoy you about your fellow golfers
1) I can't stand being crowded on the tee. I like to stand behind the ball, envision the shot, then walk up into position. But so many players insist on standing directly behind you on the tee(facing the fairway/green). Standing on another players line is poor etiquette and the line extends from the ball to the flag and beyond both.
Then when I ask them to move they scoot over into my peripheral vision and start fidgeting. Ugh. 2) Players who use the term "tee box." 3) A player who plays poorly but constantly tells you how he "hasn't played this poorly all year." 4) Players who do not know how to or choose not to mark their ball properly. I could keep going and reveal that I have a lot of pet peeves. Most of them I can chuckle about and ignore, but a few(like number one) need to be taken care of...
