The USGA May leave them outside the bunker for its events but many courses prefer them in the bunker so the grounds crew does not have to move them when mowing.


Correct, but the grounds crew still has to move them when working the bunkers. I've always preferred them outside the bunker because I hate it when a ball catches the rake and stays on the downslope into the bunker instead of getting into the flat like it maybe would have.

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.

Pro tip, if you don’t hit the green you won’t have to repair your divot ;)

Fixing every ball mark on the green before you putt, even the ones not in your line


I fix ball marks that aren't mine while I wait for others to play.

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.

Courses with elevation. First time I ever came across it was in Omaha when I was there for the WS. It was an awesome hole, just over 300 yards and the tee box was probably 75 feet above the green and it dropped off about 30 yards in front of the tees so you had no idea where your ball went until you got off the hill. Came across it again playing a course in Maine with a similar layout as listed above but way longer.

frick y’all are old. Time for some graphite senior flex shafts

The course in Toledo bend doesn’t have a bell but it has a flag in the middle of the fairway that you lay down when you’re in the way and stand it back up when you’re done

I'm in NC. We have a few courses around here where the fairway goes downhill and you can't see. When the guys in front clear the fairway, there are big bells by the cart path on their way to the green that they're supposed to ring telling the guys on the tee box they are clear. Goodyear golf club has a couple. They also have a light boxes that works the same way.

Ross Bridge has the GPS on the cart that gives you the location of the other carts on the hole. Pretty awesome.

Absolutely getting your ball back if you hit into the group I’m in


Had a group behind us at LSU hitting into us the entire back 9. Mind you there was nowhere for us to go since there were a few groups ahead of us. They received a couple balls back and we had a few words on the 15th. 17th hole we are putting and a ball rolls up onto the green. I picked it up, looked back at them, rubbed it on my junk, and put it back right where it was.

There are a lot of things, many mentioned, but the worst is someone doing tricks in the golf cart.
