SLOW PLAY is the #1 enjoyment killer for me.
I see guys who shoot in the 100's out there taking four deliberate practice swings on every shot. There practice swing looks nothing like the swing. they hit it 40 yards and then proceed to deliberate over which club to hit adn then take another four practice swings. THIS SHOULD BE BANNED from the game.
That and doing 40 laps around the green to read your putt (for a 7) from every conceivable angle. Unless you are in a big time tournament, get a read and hit your damn putt.
also, Guys too lazy to walk over to their ball and be ready to hit when their cart buddy is done. I see guys who have a ball 20 yards from their cart partner yet they will sit in the cart while their partner hits and then wait for him to get back in and drive him over 20 yards to his ball. At that point he has to get his yardage, spent five minutes picking a club and proceed with the requisite 4 practice swings.

I don't get angry if I think they people who are slowing me down are trying to improve their game. It takes time and focus to become consistent.
You can definitely tell if it's on purpose, and when it becomes excessive.
I do laugh when someone reads the putt from every angle and then leaves it halfway short.
I'm trying to improve my game...that's why I tee off at 6 AM on Monday mornings. I can slow down if I want.
