Least favorite isn't listed. It's the "I would never call you on this, BUT..." Guy. Just fricking call the penalty if you see one. Don't call it, but not have the balls to enforce it. Also, I am not a fan of the guy that likes to make up rules to call on you. Happens every time I play in a tourney it seems.

I get more nervous when I feel like my group is holding up another group than pretty much any other time on the course. I can't stand when my group is responsible for slow play.

I'm sure it is just lost in translation, but you sound like a cheating bastard.

people in tournaments always try to say that I don't know the rules when I call them on one...then I promptly break out the rules book I keep in the bag...and...they still complain! WTH...if you don't like the rules, don't play golf

Yea this too. If I'm by myself, I'll usually go out of my way to avoid having to play through a group until it isn't possible anymore. I've hit a small bucket from the fairway before on #7 or #8, just to wait until I get to the turn before I have to play through.

I play with a couple of Turtles. I play with a couple of Complainers. I am generally the Hot Head. I dont play with any Know It Alls though.

The Turtles are the one that drive me insane, I can deal with the others.

I get so nervous playing through. I play by myself so it happens a lot. Long as I make solid contact I don't care. I get in my cart and haul arse to my ball.

The golf digest article made me laugh out loud in class. Half of those are my roommate who I play with every day.


ETA: also I used to get nervous about people waiting for us or whatever, but if you just realize that most of the people playing suck just as bad as you who really cares.

I've got a little sergio in my on the course when it warrants it. I despise slow play and will get pissed and complain about that. I also don't like paying to play on shite courses with greens that look like they were bombed with patriot missles and hardpan "fairways".

I also have a little tiger in me as I will get pissed at myself audibly from time to time but I don't let F bombs fly out and I don't throw clubs.

Nope. In fact I've called penalties on myself that the rest of the group didn't see, like my ball moving while addressed. I'm talking about something different. The time I got the most upset the guy wasn't saying anything to me. He was talking to another guy in the group and was pretty much just being a dick. Like talking shite to the guy about walking through the line of his putt on the other side of the hole in case he misses. I mean we're the last group to go off. 100 people have walked all over that green. He's not the reason you missed that putt.

I am probably the most like Ben Crane. I take at least two practice swings usually. I don't waggle that much, but lately been having trouble getting my grip comfortable.

But again, I play by myself. So it doesn't matter much.

My buddy back home waggles like nobody's business and I swear I almost start laughing because he'll waggle for about 5 seconds then finally settle down and when I think he's about to start his back swing he waggles again.

I would promptly tell him to kiss my arse and don't say another word to me the rest of the round. those are the kind of guys I can't stand playing with. someone farts four holes away and that is what gets blamed on a duck hook. I can't stand those kind of guys

Scooby and I were behind 4 old dickheads at Sherwood last week. When they blatantly ignored us on a par three tee box(you know the won't make eye contact so as to not let us ask to play through), I got on the tee box while they were putting. When they so much as glanced our direction, I made a waving motion with my arms, as if to say get off the green....I'm about to hit.

frickin' dicks. At the end of the round, they told us, "thanks for being so patient out there behind us today." We looked at each other like, so you knew you were holding us up?!

Geriatric bastards.

My friend pulled a fairway wood on his second shot on a par 5. The cart girls started going wild in the middle of my backswing. I hit a bad shot thanks to that.

He didnt apologize. Just called me a whiner.

But I told him to go eat some fried chicken.
