No, because that would be improper grammar. Sorry, couldn't resist. :D It struck me as odd but I've gotten used to it. What actually happens is they'll list all the things they do wrong and

Only thing that really annoys me are speed golfers that have no place to go.  You can say all you want about playing ready golf and how long a round of golf should take, but the reality is here on Lon

Looking back through some of these threads, seems like a lot of folks get pissed off by a lot of stuff, and some guys are pissed if X happens, while others are pissed if X doesn't happen. --I h

People at a Tour even that out right run to a ball that has been shanked to look at the golf ball like "omfg, a white alien egg has fallen from the sky, lets investigate"

Never knew that happened. That's freaking funny!

yep it gets ridiulous. You get good seats at the race and have to stand the whole time because of all the drunks all around you getting up and cheering everytime their driver comes by.

So you're saying if Tiger flairs one out way right you're not going to run to it to stand mere feet away from the best player in the world? I don't mind hustling a little bit to get a front row seat.

I don't mind "get in the hole," but I do mind "get in the water" (which I heard last at the CA Championship).

Interference with the game in play annoys me, whether it's a woman picking up Kevin Na's ball (and then changing her story as to whether or not it was out of bounds - not that that matters pre-identification), people reaching into the outfield to catch a ball, or people trying to tell the coach what play to make in basketball.

I don't like it when I hear someone say 'Get in the Hole' from 200 yards out RIGHT after the golfer made contact..not knowing where the ball in heading or anything.

My biggest pet peeve will have to be in golf when im teeing off and people are waiting behind me I either hit the ball of the toe or the hozzle because of that. this also occurs when im putting or even just playing the game.

Yeah I heard that on the 18th at Doral. I think it was Phil's tee shot. Must've been a die-hard Nick Watney fan. That was completely unacceptable.

Slow play in golf bugs the crap out of me. Football players yelling and screaming after they thought they nailed someone but really did not also makes me want to tear my hair out.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
