I got lots of them...

People who yell things at balls that have no chance of doing anything near what they want, or yelling something that doesn't make any sence at all. i.e. yelling "hold on" when your slice is already OB, "be enough" when the ball is already over the green, "get in the hole" after the ball has missed the cup/green...

When someone you're playing with is always 2 clubs short on every shot, not because they can't hit a 7 iron well, but because they want to believe they can hit a 9 iron 185 yards.

When there's a back up on the first tee, and a group of two asks to play through...

After three putting, he feels the need to re-putt from where he was, and again three puts.

People who blame the course for why they're not playing near how good they "are". We're all playing the same course, why isn't everyones score higher than normal?

People who aren't good, but feel they will look better if they get angry after every shot they don't hit well, so just about every shot. However, when the guy in the group infront of you throws his club at hit cart after most every shot, it is funny.



I work at a driving range/proshop/teaching center so I have a lot more for there.

People who come more than a few times a week and always complain how expensive the balls are here.

People how can't read, or choose not to.

People who ask me to fix their swing for them(I'm 17 and couldn't care less, we have a full PGA teaching staff of 13 people who love doing stuff like that)

People who ask for my advice on clubs, balls, whatever, and then say that they don't like that driver or how that wedge looks. If you already know what you like then buy it, don't waist my time or yours.

People who buy clubs that don't fit them; 70mph swing speed buying a X speed Cobra, people who can't hit a 7 iron asking if they can order a 2 to match their clubs. No problem selling it to them though...

"Old"(not so much an age as a state of mind) people who condescendingly talk about how modern clubs aren't superior to their old wood driver or butter knife irons. Facts are facts, numbers are numbers, sorry technology has advanced without you.

Someone who has no swing watching other people hit and telling me what they're doing wrong.

Biggest one is people who I've never seen want to hit my clubs, sorry not going to happen.
