2 words - SLOW PLAY.

I hate people who fudge their scores...When I know someone shot a 6 and they tell me 5, then they do it three or four more times...ugh, just bugs me...

People who walk up while you are getting ready to hit on the tee and they are so close to you that you can see their Size 13 shoe just across from your ball.
Will not shut up on the tee box.
They hit their 2nd, or 3rd, shot and then go down the fairway off to the side but still in front of you while you are getting ready to hit...especially if they are on the right hand side of the fairway where I probably am aiming.

The most anoying problem for me is the pitch marks on the greens as our greens look like the face of the moon at the moment. Following that would be the divots not filled in, poor etiquet, talking at inapropriate moments, and last but deffinatly not least is slow play especially when they wont let you through. Ive played a round that took 4 of us 5 and a half hours, I think thay got sick of me lobbing shots over their heads though.

the most annoying thing for me is when i am the last to hit my shot and everyone starts walking down the course and this causes me to rush my swing

After reading this post I realized that I play with some really annoying golfers. One has not bought a ball in two years, every time he has to look for his ball in the woods, he spends 5 minutes, and comes back out with a dozen balls. Another, is constantly giving lessons even though he has not won a round in over a year. The third is constantly talking on the tee, on the green and everywhere in between, and refuses to stop because he says it dosen't bother him when someone talks when he's hitting, although none of us ever do. The other three of us also suspect that he shaves strokes, because he is in the woods and rough as much as the rest of us, but usually ends up winning, we just don't care enough to take the time to try and catch him at it. I am not immune to bad behavior either, I am the one who curses at bad shots. I am not really mad, it is just habit, and I am trying to get out of it. We are all long time friends so I guess we all just ignore each others faults.

Things that do bother me are,

Cell phone conversations that consist of more than," I am on the golf course, this better be an emergency."

Slow Play, All golfers start out playing bad, but there is no excuse for slow play.

A group behind you crowding you when there is a backup on the course in front of you. Hitting the ball over my head is not going to make the three groups in front of me play faster.

number 1- slow play...
2- some one who doesn't play the water hazard/out of bounds rule
3- a bad putter... takes them too long to sink a putt

Shaving strokes when they are keeping the card, the system that our highschool uses makes that pretty hard though.

I stopped playing with this guy recently because he kept cheating. Now it doesnt bother me that much, but he comes out with so much bull at the same time. He reckons that he is only 2 shots worse than me to start with which isnt exactly true. He then counts his shots as he would have liked them to end up, missing the odd top or fat shot here and there. He doesnt count drop balls.

And at the end of the day he wants to play competitively against me.

I stick by the normal rules, how I would during competitions.

I just get to the end of the game and think....'what a waste of time'. So now I dont bother.
