What is your biggest pet-peeve in Golf?

Mine is a tie with the "Get in the Hole" and the fans waving to the camera.

NASCAR... Period.
NY any team... Yankees is the top.
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"
White Sox (I'm a cubs fan...)

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 actually don't mind the "get in the hole!" It just never bothered me, and ina way I like it.

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.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

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.

the showboating/look at me attitude by the athlete after a play....I mean isn't he getting paid for what he/she just did?....could you see a Car Salesman pumping his chest, dancing around like a fool and what not after a deal is done....


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.


another pet peeve is: Parents sitting in the bleachers thinking they know the strike zone from a side angle...and yelling come on Blue, get some glasses....

Much worse when it get yelled when teeling off on a 550 yard par 5...

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.

    • I'm highly probable for the entire weekend, thanks for doing the hard work to set it up.  I can't wait for more details.
    • I take 2nd, is a confirmation that you can eventually win your major and also is good material for having a laugh about it in the distant future. 
    • I'm a relatively new golfer (<5 years) in my mid-thirties. So far I've spent most of my time and money on lessons and actually golfing. I'm currently a 90s-100s player, but hope to break into the 80s with lessons and practice. I'm definitely not of the mindset that flashy expensive clubs will help me play better...I try to make the assumption that my equipment is more capable than I am. That said, I do know that realistically that threshold does exist somewhere. I just have no idea where. At what point should I consider an upgrade from starter clubs to something I can grow into and improve with?  My stuff: Starter set (Callaway Strata) from Amazon. (3w, 5h, 9i-PW) Gently used Cleveland Wedges (LW, SW, GW) - My old ones were from a set from the late 90s, so I did upgrade these. Gently used TaylorMade M1 driver - The starter set driver had a regular flex, and I had several knowledgeable people tell me I should have a stiff flex Thanks in advance!    
    • Looking forward to this movie, it checks all the boxes for me. Indie Movie True Story Cast is all great character actors Walton Goggins! No Whammies!!!!!!!!!
