I'm not on your back or anything but you've got to lighten up.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

my dad tries to use a putter to get out of bunkers

Was browsing the Oct 2009 Golf Digest in the waiting room at a doctor's office and that was one of their "tips." I had to double-check that it really suggested it, because I've never played on a course that had a trap where you could even contemplate that. It did caution not to use it if there's a lip or you're buried, but around here, there's always at least a 6 inch lip, even if it's not up against a mound.

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW
White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"

A few friends tend to drink too much beer and get obnoxious by the end of the round. Even to the point where the throw stuff like tees and coins at you while to try to play your shot...NOT fun at all.

i love all these comments. i must personally know most of everybodies friends or family.

the worst thing i see in my regular group is one guy always takes a divot with his practice swing. if he takes 5 swings, 5 divots. he replaces them but i think it can't be good for the course. so if you come to a course and there is several divots in one spot, there may not have been a scramble, it may have been my buddy.

i tell him if i owned the course and saw him, i would kick him off.

A took a lesson the other day and it changed my swing. I was hitting the ball really good and then I hit one bad shot and my dad goes "You're going back to your old swing!" I'm fourteen so I can't be rude or I'll get in trouble but I try and tell him it was one shot. He acts like I'm a scratch golfer.

my dad does that to me to

I haven't seen this one yet, and it's more of a pet peeve... Almost everyone I know that I golf with will pull the cart "off to the side" and into the grass around the tee boxes and greens, as if they're parking a car against the curb of the street. The result is dirt/mud tracks just off the cart path (obviously, they're not the only ones doing that). I've pointed it out to them, but to no avail. I always notice courses where they either put up a barrier (or gravel) at these areas. lol.

Texting, texting, texting! There should be a no texting rule on the course. Aren't we there to get away from all that? I say, play already!

Funny I remember when cell phones would get you the death stare on the golf course. But now with texting and in my case GPS of the course on my cell I feel guilty but pull it out before just about every shot (for GPS).
