-Please stop playing from the tips in my 4-sum when it is clear that you have neither the skill, nor the distance. I'm not impressed by it so just swallow your pride and play with me from the mens tees and not with the single digit handicapper 50 yards back. Also please stop acting surprised like this never happens to you when you don't even hit it past your wife, who is waiting for you at the ladies tee. If it happens on half of the holes you play, I'm gonna guess it's not a fluke and some bizarre force of nature is trying to tell you something, MOVE UP!

-Stop looking for your ball in the 18 inch high fescue. It's obvious that you're not going to find your 180 yard straight and 80 yard right slice that is out here somewhere. Maybe if you didn't feel the need to play $50 Pro-V1's, you would be less inclined to spend 15 minutes searching. I'm tired of looking with you for it, as well as watching not to get poison ivy, and would like to play my shot before I forget where even my ball is.

-This is not the 18th on Sunday at the US Open. Stop reading your putts as if it were such. You haven't even sank one of these putts yet, why start now? And also stop hitting my ball back to me when I hit to anywhere within 3 feet. I don't take gimmes like you and I enjoy hearing the sound of the ball in the cup.

Sorry guys I just had to rant about my round today. Feel free to attach any other personal letter to "That Golfer".

Dear "That Golfer",

Stop asking if that is you in the fairway 330 yards ahead. That is a leaf. Not your ball. Also, don't say "Nice Shot, man" after every shot I hit.

Iputt,

I see that you are in New York. Where did this happen?

As for an open letter, would all golfers capable of walking please do so. You would be surprised how the pace of play would pick up.

Dear "That Golfer"

- Don't give me crap about shooting a 91 to your 88. We both know that you didn't shoot an 88. It was actually more like a 108. I honestly don't care how you score your round, but if you don't score it objectively don't expect me to be happy for you.

Dear "My uncle aka that golfer"

Breaking 3 of your clubs during the round earlier does not make you look cool or strong. You're a jackass and just throw 200 dollars into the woods. You arent a pro so when you mishit it, get over it.

Man, there sure is alot to complain about isn't there? I'm really not trying to be rude, but it seems like these threads are always popping up. If there are so many of "these golfers" why even play at all?

Dear "That Golfer"

Amen. I can't stand it when people claim they shot this number or that with several mulligans, OB, water hazard. If we were allowed to take as many mulligans as we wanted I'd never finish a hole without a birdie.

I was playing with a friend a while back and he claims I beat him by 1 stroke(for 9 holes) when it was actually 8 if he played by the rules. I have no problem with people that play to have fun and want to take mulligans as long as it doesn't hold up play. But do not try to tell me you shot 85 when you actually shot 97.

Dear Golfer,

When its your 3rd putt, is it really necessary to read it from both sides again?

I was thinking the same thing. Either I haven't played with any of these types, or I am oblivious to what they do(as it isn't my business). I don't care if they say they shot a 72 when they really shot a 90. That will just come back and bite them in the ass if they every play a tournament. You guys complaining should just worry about your game, not whether or not someone looks funny doing the spiderman.

No doubt...

What's worse?? The golfer that plays from the tips with a 20+ Handicap or the golfer that bitches about it for the next 3 days

Dear "that golfer"

I am not good at the game, and no matter how good you are, I don't want your advice. If I did, I would have asked for it.

Dear "that golfer"

You don't have to wait for the green to open up when you are 250+ away. Chances are you should be laying up anyway.

Dear "that golfer"

Is it that hard to put your divot back in the fairway? Is it that hard to rake the four holes you made in the bunker getting out?

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Dear 'that golfer',

You always seem to find your place directly behind me on the golf course, driving in your cart, when you could clearly use the excercise and walk the course like I am. Whether I tee off at 7am or 5pm, you show up like clock-work on the tee behind me when I am half-way down the fairway.
I am here on the course to play a relaxing round of golf, while still maintaining a fair pace; not to hurry down the fairway and rush my shots to see how fast I can play. I am not a professional, nor do you look like you can hit the ball better than I; but somehow, you always seem to keep that 'awkward distance', where you are too far behind to play through, yet close enough to keep pressure on me.
I wish I could just forget about you back there, but it is always in my mind. Yet again, you end up making me wait at a tee to allow you to play through. As I swallow my pride and mutter out those 5 words, 'Why don't you go ahead', I expect you to hit the ball like Tiger Woods, the way you've kept up the pace with me the whole round, yet, you shank your tee shot to the right, and continue chunking your way up the fairway. Almost as if your round has suddenly taken a turn for the worse.
This is a common occurance, and all I ask of you, 'that golfer', is to let me enjoy my round without feeling rushed.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
