Stealing and playing range balls on the course
Not raking the trap
Ignoring the 90 degree rule or path only holes
Not filling in and repairing divots
Being Slow. You’re a 15 handicap, you’re not playing Sunday at Augusta.

I’ve accidentally hit into the group in front of me several times, a lot of times people disappear behind trees or behind a trap and you assume they’re gone. People have done the same with me and I don’t mind as long as you acknowledge and apologize for it.

this one is underrated, too many ppl go straight off the path from the tee to never return until the next hole.

I can't stand it when people don't ring the bells on the fairways of blind teen shots after their 2nd shot.

End up either havin to wait and guess or havebto drive 100 yards up the fairway to check on them.

These holes have bells for a reason.

Random sidebar here, there is a course here on the outskirts of Memphis that used to tell you to go 90* to your ball(if it wasn't path only) and then drive straight down the hole in the fairway until it ends and then cross back to the path. The guy checking folks in used to be such a hard arse about it that he'd literally drive his cart out to you on a hole if he saw you not following the rule. Never heard another course say anything like that, and have never found anyone that could tell me why a super would have that rule. They have apparently gotten rid of the rule in the past few years, or at least they don't remind you of it every time you check in. Anyone ever heard of something like this, or can explain the reasoning?

I've done this on accident as well. Most notable I was playing at my buddy's club and asked him how far it was to the water (guy in front of us was playing his ball right in front of the hazard). He, incorrectly, gave me an inaccurate distance. I play a shot I intended to be well short of him and the hazard. Well, it rolls to about 10 yards short of him. I waive my hand to apologize. Guy proceeds to throw my ball in the water. I thought that was a bit of an overreaction.
