For me its the guy who waggles for two minutes every shot looks at his line for another two minutes but hasn't hit a strait shot all day.

This is the same guy who slices on a rope or duck hooks every shot yet procedes to tell other what they are doing wrong in their swing.

frick you, I take two to three practice swings and I am not a slow golfer. My pet peeve is people who wait for others in their group to hit before they go to their ball/figure out what they are going to hit. This isn't the tour, play fricking ready golf. Also hate people who won't let me play through.

Oh! I have another one. Playing with, or behind some cock sucker who walks over to his ball, without a club/clubs, to check yardage, then goes back to cart to get the club/clubs needed. For fricks sake, if you can't tell within 2 clubs how far you are, frickING QUIT!

Also, while irrational, people who put their lip on my ball while putting. Don't say shite until it's in the hole, and damnit not every putt that rolls within a 5 ft radius of the hole is a "good putt."

That's messed up. I only wear pants in the winter and it has to be <50 degrees for me to consider it

People who walk in your putting line, then question you when you say something. Yes Scott, if you see this, I'm talking about you.

People that hit a ton of practice shots after they hit terrible ones. I don't mind every now and then, I do it myself a little, but don't hold the group up.

Slow play. Take a couple half practice swings to get a little rhythm, line it up, check your grip, waggle, and go. Don't stand there gazing at the trees after your 4 practice cuts like you're on #12 at Augusta on Sunday.

People who can't let go of a lost ball. This isn't the US Open, hoss.

But, by far, is the guy who tells you what you're doing wrong without me asking. I know I have things I need to work on, but i'll do that later. We're not having a fricking range session right here in the #8 fairway... I know a guy, consider him a good friend. Neither of us is good. We both shoot high 80s a lot, but he's way more sporadic, and is the world's worst at this. I'm not interested in the advice of someone I'm beating on the reg.

I hate tee coordinators. I have never met a happy tee coordinator

Also I hate people who are obviously terrible and have been playing terrible all round but they still get mad at every bad shot they hit like they expect to hit a good shot when they can probably count all their birdies in ther life on one hand

But the absolute worst is courses that are in terrible condition, have terrible practice facilities and that have 50% jean wearin golfers but act like you are supposed to play 9 holes at 2 hours or less and think that they are second to only Augusta

One that is indirect to the game of golf is club members. I deal with this shite in a big way growing up. If I have paid my fees and am abiding by your rules dont roll up like you are a big fish in a small pond and get onto me about bullshite. All you are really doing is looking for an op to tell me how awesome you think you are because you have been a member for however many years like I give a frick.

In this particular case the "elite" club I used to frequent has lost a third of their members, the course has gone to shite and they are recruiting people to join for discount dues rates. I am not sad to see it fall off given the attitude of some people and the shite I took.

I mad

Not sad

Friend of mine was a greenskeeper at the RTJ course in Auburn, and he said he regularly had people hit onto the green while he was watering it, when there are signs posted all over the course. He would snag all these balls and put them in his cart, then when the idiot came up to the green and asked where his ball went, my buddy would say he hadn't seen it.

On my list it's people pushing you from behind. I played once and my friend hit one into the water, decided to drop and hit from the same spot, and some guys on the tee behind us were yelling at us to hurry up, when they were a foursome and we were a twosome... you're not going to keep up with us, you douchebags.
