Played with a friend yesterday at his home course. We had the second tee time of the day as a twosome, some how a fivesome sneaks in front of us at the turn. We stopped for about 2 minutes for a Gatorade. We get to number 10 and there is a fivesome- wth.
I mentioned to the grounds superintendent and he said that’s the GM or pga guy on staff.
What?
We are waiting on them every hole. I mentioned it to the starter and raised hell with him.
He said that’s the guy in charge and he does what ever he wants.
I never have experienced anything like this.
Ok moving on.

To make matters worse lol - he deleted my fb posts calling him out about his bush league bs.

Complete BS

i would have skipped #10 and jumped in front of them then played #10 last.

Is he going to kick you off the course for the same shite he did?

He has a boss, everyone has a boss, no way I'd put up with that shite at my home club.

Your friend needs to raise hell.

We talked about it. But the group that we were originally behind was on the next tee box. It was a total frick up.

My list would be too long, so I’ll limit it it to my current pet peeves:

As a player - seniors that don’t rake traps, fix pitch marks on the green or fill divots with sand. Ladies that refuse to let men play through and turn a 3.5 hour round into a 5 hour round.

As a homeowner on a course - both members and non-members abusing the course by riding carts all over the place and especially not following “cart path only” rules when the course is soaked.

Baw that would've pissed me off real bad.

I have a lot...

Ignoring Carts-on-path or 90 degree, not letting faster groups play through, hacks shooting 90 but reading every putt from three directions, mulligans and foot wedges

Eta: if you're just out having fun then mulligans and footwedges are fine. I just don't like the guy who hits three mulligans, bumps every lie and then tells everyone he shot 78

Had a guy watering the greens from a tractor parked on the fringe the other day. It was around 9am, midway through our round. That shite is ridiculous when you’re paying $75 to play.

Got held up by a 4some on Friday. Had a kid playing solo in front of us and they wouldn’t let him play through.

Had someone jump in front of us the other day on the back 9. They just strolled up and tee’d off on 10

the reason the guy was probably watering the green from a cart is because his irrigation system is broke. at least he is trying to save the greens so he doesn't get blown up on this site for having dry greens or shitty greens. give the guy some slack. at least he was doing what he can to try and save his greens.

There wasn’t a hole open. We would’ve had to skip two holes.

I'm in northwest florida. This course borders a large bay system. It rains every afternoon here. The dew had barely dried.

Even if your grammar was correct, this would still be a shitty take.

Getting paired up with people that are in a big hurry esp when we’re always waiting on the group in front anyways. Driving their cart way ahead of you after they hit, having to constantly yell, “heads up” because they’re in the way. Kicking 5ft putts back to you and racing up to the next tee box just to wait even longer. I’m all about ready golf if it’s convienant, but the single trying to race through a round in 2 hours on a crowded course needs to chill the f*** out.

Agreed. 100%. I like playing fast, but sometimes it’s impossible

Seniors aren't the only ones that don't fix their pitch marks and ladies aren't the only ones that are oblivious to the pace of play and groups behind them. Anyone who does this draws my ire.

1a. The guy that just drove it 225 waiting for the green to
clear with 250 left on a par 5.
1b. People that refuse to let you play through when you're
obviously playing much faster and no in is in front of
them.

Probably the people who struggle to break 100 playing from the tips or groups who play slow but let nobody play through
