If the course is open. If it's Saturday and there are 3 foursomes in front of my 4, frick off. There's no where for you to go. Get off my arse and find some friends. Solos shouldn't be allowed on the course on the weekends except the first 3-4 tee times. After that, you should have to be partnered with 3 other guys without friends.

Lay off you suburban golf pricks. The game is supposed to be fun. I'm sorry I just started playing the game. I guess I'm not allowed to enjoy it softball guy wanna be! I try and play at times the course isn't crowded and on the cheaper public courses yet I always encounter some prick in a clown outfit trying to get in a two hour round and I'm the only reason he sucks at life.


As long as you are picking up at like 3 or 4 over par and not eyeing the slope of the green for your 40-ft triple bogey attempt, then you should be fine.

The middle class and nouveau riche has ruined golf, imo. Once considered a classy gentalmans game. Now going to any public & private course is like frequenting a Dave and Busters.

I can stand playing behind these guys if they don't act like professionals before every shot...just hit the damn ball you're going to duff or shank it anyway

You should probably just tell the people you're talking about to their face instead of coming here and being a puss about it.

There is more to this story than you are letting on. Based on the information you provided, you're inexperience probably put you in a situation that you didn't know how to get out of. Lighten up, you'll learn.

Because anyone can play softball. Not everyone can lace a golf ball down the middle of the fairway. It's also a great way to hang out with business associates outside of work. You can also take your kids out. Did you think this thread through prior to posting?


Not really true. I'd counter with anyone can golf, but not everyone can hit a 300 foot home run, chase down line drives in the outfield, throw runners out with a rocket arm, and run the bases with speed.
Yes, anyone can play softball, but few play well. Anyone can golf, but few play well.

lol golf is for people who can't play real sports.

It's acceptable, even commendable, when you're older and trying find new ways to stay active but if you're under 40 and golf is your sport of choice you're a loser.

Stay on the driving range and abandoned golf courses until you can break 90
