Mine: the group of four or more that every single guy gets on the ground and scopes out their putt

You have a problem with people reading their putt???

Some of these I agree with, but some of y'all are ridiculous. You complain about a dude waiting for someone on a green 250 out that he probably won't reach; but y'all also say if someone hits one up on you you'll hit it back or throw it in the water. He's probably had this happen so he waits.

You have a problem with bad players taking a few practice swings? He's not trying to top every shot, if anything the worse you are the more practice swings you need to feel comfortable.

My biggest pet peeve is the group that won't let you play through, even though the course is empty and you are 1 and they are 4; these groups are always playing for money

What I meant by this was that if he is one of those 1 and 100 players, he has no business waiting to try and hit a green he can't reach...he needs to lay up to a comfortable yardage and hit from there. I'd much rather wait on that approach shot than an unrealistic attempt to hit the green...

And if he is one of those people, it would serve his game better and probably lead to lower scores by using better course management...Win-Win for everyone.

no I have a problem with groups of four or MORE where they all roll around on the ground and size up their putts like they are about to hole out on 18 at Augusta

groups of 5+ piss me off to begin with but then slow playing and acting like this is the most important round of their lives really pisses me off.

A single really doesn't have priority over any group.
