Let's see...where to begin?
OK, in 'list' form, the following things tick me off, (in no particular order):
1. People who do not fix ball marks.
2. People who leave their carts at the bottom of the green directly opposite the exit point, (who then have to walk all the way across to get it while everyone's waiting to hit).
3. "Carts only" policies.
4. Group searches for lost balls, (particularly prevalent with the drive cart crowd).
5. Foursomes in two drive carts who have to all "visit" each player's shot instead of going to their individual balls.
6. Players in drive carts who wait and watch one player hit, then when he's done, the cart drives forward thirty feet and the other guy gets out to hit.
7. People who mark my ball for me on the green. (I'll mark my own ball, thank you. It's part of my pre-shot).
8. People who mark their ball on the green with a tee. (Lot's of chlorine in that gene pool, huh?).
9. People who take in excess of 7 or 8 shots to get to a green and then begin plumb bobbing putts.
10. "Cartpath only" policies, (especially when most of their cartpaths are on the left sides of the holes when 90% of the golfing public hits the ball to the right).
11. People who spend time trying to "dig" their ball out of the cup with the back of their putters while marring the grass at the edges of the cup or displacing the cup altogether.
12. People who don't replace divots.
13. Cell phones on golf courses.
14. People walking on my putting line.
15. Golf courses who have "carts only" policies and try to explain them by saying that they speed up play.
16. "Belly putters" or putters that more resemble branding irons than golf clubs.
17. "Brush tees", (they don't tick me off really, it's just that I can't believe you were stupid enough to fall for the hype.
18. People who pick up and pocket "found" golf balls lying between adjacent fairways - one of them is usually my tee shot.
19. People who begin a driving range session by hitting a full driver, (again, not really a 'tick off', but come on!).
20. People who don't fix ball marks. |
