The course I normally play has a limit of four people in a group, but I hate it when a group of between 6 and 10 guys show up, tee off in foursomes and by the time they make it to the fifth hole, they are one big group and they never want to let anyone play through.

And the club let them carry on like this?



Our course would have had a marshal out like a shot to kick them off.

Mind you, they would only kick them off after they had paid for the round.

I can tolerate mostly anything on the course except slow play...

But what really ticks me off is "thread-jacking" on forums... Absolutely drives me nuts.... you go to read a topic and find it's morphed into something totally different!! ...do you check it again... just frustrating... So That's what ticks me off.

I've played 1 course where there were more marshals than golfers! I kid you not, 2 marshal's per hole on 18 holes... It must have been "work for free" day or something then.



I thought of another thing that ticks me off in general: People who think rough-housing the golf carts is OK. Trying to crash them, or roll them over, etc. To me it gives a sense that someone doesn't have any respect for other golfers on the course and for the course itself.

For a long time the course acted like it didn't care much about anything, they have recently started to really take more interest in their course and their members. We'll see how different things are this season.

There are a lot of things to upset me on the golf course, but over the years, I'm happy to say I have learned to enjoy golf and let most things roll off my back. I used to be too serious.

Most in particular though, the biggest thing that ticks me off is... me...

I still have the golfing mind and knowledge that I developed many years ago that led me to being a scratch player into my early 50's. I know what I should do to make a ball do exactly what is needed to accomplish pretty much any shot I run into. When injuries made me take a few years off from the game, I've never been able to get my game back to what it once was. Life gets in the way...

Unfortunately, the mind and body don't communicate very well anymore and my body doesn't do what my mind visualizes. The upsetting part is, I don't often convince myself that the odds aren't good of making the shot Tiger would make, so I go ahead and try it anyway, and fail...

I upset me...

As far as outside things to upset me, there is one thing I have run into lately. Where I like to play, (Calusa Country Club in SW Miami), there is a group of about 6 people who always get two consecutive tee times. The first threesome tends to wait by the green they have just finished, watching the following threesome play. Since they are gambling, they want to see who is doing what. Then they are all together on each subsequent tee, watching each other tee off. It is slow play raised to an art form. Sometimes, once they are far enough out onto the course, they simply join up and play a 5-some or 6-some, holding up everyone behind them. For some reason that I can only guess is political, the rangers will never say anything to them.

One day we played a 6 hour round behind them. Another day we played ahead of them and they were 5 holes behind us when we finished.

If you do not like correct spelling, then another pet peeve must be people using text speak. I must admit, text speak does have a way of pushing my buttons. It's a slippery slope to illiteracy.

I can just imagine receiving a letter from a customer in five years time;

Dr Mr Fitz

Tks for Ur quote. Pls sample, k thks.

Boy, do I know that feeling. Sometimes I think it takes me longer to correct my posts than it does to write them in the first place. Even then, things slip through.

My general excuse is simply that I have dyslexic fingers.
