Annoying things about golf or golfers

Posted by: user259247 | Fri 20th Nov 2009 14:43 | Last Reply

Been off work ill recently so havent been near a golf ball for a while but had a bit of energy today and decided to go to the range.

Bought my basket of 90 balls and discovered I was the only one there. That was until I had hit my third ball and a bloke took position in the bay behind me (20 bays still empty). From his very first shot he moaned, groaned and cursed loudly every shot he hit. After a few minutes I told him that his outbursts were very offputting (scuse the pun) but was just met by a blank look and he continued moaning groaning and cursing every shot. An afternoon spoiled for me.

What does everyone else find annoying about our game or its players ?

You had only hit three balls, Phil, if it was that bad you should have moved to another bay yourself. I certainly would have.

There is so much I find annoying about this game but it is better left unsaid.

Being beat 5 & 4 normally upsets some players

I cannot understand why somebody would go onto a driving range with only one person using it, and then go into a bay right next to that one person!

When I go on the driving range I try and find a bay with a couple of empty bays each side.  I don't rant and rave when I hit a bad shot but I still like to think I'm not annoying anybody else.

Some people are so ignorant but that's the kind of country we live in now.

John, you made a mistake, you only lost 4 & 3 at the N v S.

I think John may be alluding to a more recent match we had against two prominent members of the Southern team.

You mean the good hiding of David and Kevin. I have heard about that from the horses mouth.

 Why go to a range hitting crappy balls? As for the bloke who came and stood next to you, obviously a whinging shirtlifter.

 What? the whinging or the shirtlifter bit? Either way he's a prat. Now I don't want to go into which I prefer or dislike more (ie whingers or shirtlifters) and you Benjamin obviously are a bit related to the PC police so no doubt dear diary will have more column inches tonight but unless they want to contribute, positively, for us all (does that sound better?) them they can go etc etc. I'm sure you'll have a response but rather childishly I will neither read nor respond until you put up some kind of profile. 190 YDS WITH A 7 IRON?? Only popeye Casey does that. I knew then you were full of sh*t. Go bother another website.

Mod here,

Ben Jamin, I have had to delete a number of your replies for "Language Content", you may not like Spammers, but let us deal with them instead of swearing at them.

Your responce to Patrick can be classed as a personal attack, everyone has a view on any subject and it is just that a personal view. many of the guys on here use "Off the cuff" remarks which others know what is ment and no offence is given or taken. You, being new need to realise that. If the contents on this Forum make you feel uneasy then I suggest you don't read it.
