re: Golf pet peeves

My biggest pet peeves with playing in a group are:

(A) the guy who decides to walk around right behind and/or in front of you, distracting your attention when you're either driving or putting

(B) the guy who gives himself a "gimme", sticking his club in the hole and measuring to see if it's "inside the leather" especially when you have something on the line to play for.

(C) the guy who misses his four foot putt, goes past the hole, then backswipes in towards the hole, and MISSES, then doesn't count the additional stroke, saying, "he wasn't trying".

(D) the guy who throws a club when he gets PO'd at himself

My biggest pet peeves with the golf course itself?

(A) rocks in sand traps (yeah, you Bear Creek)

(B) old farts who want to talk about their latest gall bladder condition with the asst. pro behind the counter while you're running late and need to check in.

(C) Course marshalls who are just a bunch of old retirees who only do it to get free golf, and then don't do anything. Every marshall should be required to wait for a group to clear a green, check the bunkers, repair a few ball marks and then move on.

(D) ill taken care of wooded areas between fairways, you know: limbs, brush, pine combs, rocks, limbs that haven't been trimmed

(E) Cart girls that come around only once a side. (especially if she's really hot!)

(F) Fairways that are 75 yards across and are blocked off from carts.

(G) not being told when making a tee time that the greens have been or will be aerated and/or sanded when you plan to play. The worst is not being told there are temporary greens. And those frickers still charge full rate.

(H) Paying a premium price ($$$) for a round of golf at a "destination" course and they are letting the greens get hairy and the first cut of rough grow to nature preserve heights because they are "conditioning" the course in preparation of an upcoming tournament (yes... you... Donald Trump)
