The rules are simple. You must say one thing you hate about golf and one thing you love.

Be creative. Everyone hates triples and loves eagles.

I hate foursomes that take four holes or so to let a much faster twosome through because a group ahead of them is still putting out while they’re teeing off.

I love hitting a putt from 20 feet off the green with perfect weight.

I hate people who pitch fits (i.e. slam or throw clubs, scream obscenities, generally act like over-sized children) when they aren't playing to their expectations.

I love the feeling of hitting a driver pure off the sweet spot... IMO - It's the most satisfying feeling in golf.

I love a drive that goes dead straight. It's really aesthetically pleasing to see that ball not move sideways at all. 

I hate that cold shank that comes out of nowhere.

I hate losing my ball in the rough or leaves when I saw where it went.

I love the feel of a pure iron shot.

I love stuffing your approach right after your best ball or scramble partner ejects from the hole.

I hate the big double cross that pops up to ruin a solid run of holes.

I love being out on the course on a warm sunny day with a light breeze.

I love the fact that I am healthy enough to play golf and enjoy it. 

I hate lazy people who will not fix their ball mark on a green.

I like being outdoors, and still healthy enough to enjoy it. Hitting golf balls for a score is just extra icing on that cake. 

My dislike is the occassional arrogant, and pompous attitudes I run into on the golf course. Well, that and the guy who spits left over sun flower seed shells all over the greens.

I hate a slow pace of play---I need to keep moving and play better with a little quicker pace of play.

I love golf because I love to be outdoors and I always enjoy playing against the course...


Hate slow play/inconsiderate players. Far too often I spend the 5 minutes that I have to wait to hit my drives on the previous green repairing ball marks made by the same arseholes that are holding me up. 

Love everything else about golf. Love the challenges, the good shots, the lucky/unlucky bounces, even chip in quad bogeys.

I hate that on a few holes during my round I totally lose focus or just forget how to swing and push or pull my tee shots, which usually ends up OB or lost and ruins my score.

I love being able to forget about the rest of life and just enjoy golf for that time (except for when the above happens).

I love the drive to the course before every round because it always feelings exciting.

I hate standing over the next shot after a shank.

I love the time I get to spend with my son on the course.

I hate the almost inevitable 3 or 4 hole stretch where my game totally disappears and I just can’t hit anything.

I love that playing golf can be a metaphor for life. Some shots are easy, some hard. You get bounces, both good and bad, both deserved and not. Either way you play the ball as it lies; there are seldom any do-overs. You can learn from the mistakes of your previous shots, but dwelling on them tends cloud your judgement for future ones. Golf is a challenge.

I hate when I fail to rise to the challenge.

I hate slow play and golfers who don't take care of the course.

I love finding ProV1's & TP5's which are in great shape, cheap twilight golf and being paired up with some of the attractive immaculately dressed Korean female golfers here in Vancouver.

    • Day 238: played 18. Back 9 was pretty good after a rough front 9. Then worked a bit after the round at the range, just firming up some feels. 
    • Day 6 (15 Mar 25) - Played in local course’s 2man captain’s choice St Patrick’s Day tournament.  Great day of working closely with my teammate on course management process.  
    • Certainly BUY used so many near new Drivers in Good condition that will suit ...which IMHO the shaft is the most important part if you want to buy new get a shaft new that suits you then find the head you like the feel off 
    • I found being part of a Great Golf Club renewed my love for the game and comps ..previously at my other club I was just a player with novice player mates or solo .and that was hard to progress and drive the passion when my job was very restrictive to playing in good weather and friends couldn't play as much...  that become a grind at times and gave up the game for couple years..but now work for myself and have clear goals and new GC with serious players ongoing comps and great course I can pretty much always get on .. some great Golfing friends I made playing in the weekly comps ..I'm loving it..  Still get down on my game and can walk off gutted ..but thats the game we wouldn't love the good round if we never had bad rounds So for me maybe dropping the pressure of the HC grind and more so enjoy playing comps with others serious on the game ...understand the game is hard ,enjoy the good times and your game will develop ... 
    • Big week of Golf nursing golfing elbow ....played local amazing course Arrowtown tuesday ..had a tidy 81 for what I felt wasn't my best Golf in some wet windy conditions found the greens tough to read and gave away many shots... three birdies Played my local GC wed STB mens comp... very rough whole game not happy 89 just felt tired made so many mistakes max 4-holes I played well the rest rubbish to woeful ... Friday played south of my local Alexandra in a 4ball with my mates (we have a comp same partners over the year) played pretty well after not even hitting my 3wood past the ladies tee on the 1st hole ...very slow greens to what I usually played so we made gimmes within 2ft ,,,, couple birdies .. Wasn't going play ..but wife wasn't stressed so joined into the SAT Medal comp ..teed off early .. had some brilliant holes and shots some of my best .. birdied 3x ..78 for the day gave me a 7th in SNR division. putting let me down had a 4x putt on 3rd hole PAR3 ... along with 6+ three putts ... what could have been  Now looking over the above I'm sure many thinking go sort ya putting ya idot .. but couple weeks previously I played three comps .. out of those three I only had one 3x putt my best 24 putts over a round  ... but my driver off the tee was rubbish ..
