...I hit a tee shot, and somebody in my group says "Nice drive!" as I watch my ball cutting into the trees.

Give me yours.

I hate it when... You show up to the first tee at your tee time, and the foursome ahead of you is fooling around at the tee box, cutting up and laughing while they are digging their gloves out

Yeah, me, too.

I hate it when I see cigar/cigarette butt, sunflower seed shells on and around green.

I hate it when guy urinates anywhere when toilet is just a quick walking/cart drive distance away.

I am stuck at work while my golf buddies are playing and blowing up my phone with txt and pics. I really really really hate people that pull right on my cart when I am parked at the tee box, and in the tee box ... especially when they feel the need to hop out and watch, or talk with their buddy ... WTF???

This is a pet peeve of mine as well, I can't stand that.   I know they are generally trying to be supportive but when the ball is headed for the trees, it's not a nice drive.

You show up to the first tee at your tee time, and the foursome ahead of you is fooling around at the tee box, cutting up and laughing while they are digging their gloves out of their bags, figuring out what balls to use, finding tees, popping open beers, goosing each other with their drivers, and doing just about everything you can do short of actually teeing off. All the while the starter is just sitting there, even though the previous foursome has left the first green. You know you are in for a long, tedious day.

True story. After they teed off, we asked the starter (a retiree and a pretty nice guy) about the gap, and he just shrugged and said "What can you do?"

my pet peev is similar. I hit a shot that i know is a load of :poo: and they say "ooh that sounded nice". Yeah, it'll sound even nicer when my follow up shot is ricocheting around the trees!

Yeah, something all golfers must learn is to just say nothing about others shots, unless it's truly a nice shot, and then only after the ball has stopped moving.

I hate it when I can't play golf.

I guess I don't care much if someone comments on my ball flight or not.  I don't however like "on course instructions" from someone that can't break 90 when playing by the rules.

+1 on this, regardless of the skill of the golfer trying to give me an unwanted lesson.

I hate: Hitting the ball fat Missing any putt that is 3 feet or less Any shot missed because of a fade/slice Slow play Players who exhibit poor golf etiquette, either out of ignorance or indifference I'm sure there's plenty more...but that's the top 5.

When playing with a group of your golf buddies and one of them never gets there at the appropriate time.

I hate playing with guys who never shut up on the course. Sometimes I play in a scramble with a buddy and we invariably end up with two of his friends who will just not shut up. Telling stories on the tee, telling stories on the green, talking while others are trying to hit, etc, etc.

I hate that too.  I love sunflowers seeds but is it really that hard to spit them in a used can or bottle?  I don't think so

I'm more apt to forgive players who don't know proper etiquette than those who just ignore it when you know that they play regularly.

I have to say, the on course stuff, for the most part, it doesn't bother me.

Last Sunday I was paired with these two guys, one of whom brought his 8 and 10 year old.  For the most part, the kids were well behaved.  I started out horribly and he tried to cheer me up as he saw it was getting to me.

None of that got to me, though.  I was frustrated with myself but the kids out there with their father enjoying the day and the course and the guy trying to make me feel better, it was just like, whatever.

I guess I'm lucky that I can block that stuff out.

Playing with people that use Multiple mulligans. Pulling their ball out from under a bush or tree so they can get a better swing. Then at the end of the day bragging that they almost beat you. Even though they know that you played Strictly by the rules.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
