Most frustrating thing about golf for you?

[LBlack14]

Inconsistency ... my ability (or lack there of) to put together a par, blow-up hole, par and wonder just what the hell happened. In that vein, as stated above, my inability to put together a complete round. I've had scores on 18 this year that have been 40-48; 41-49 ... and that grinds my gears, big time ...

Ding Ding Ding!!!

Cost has got to be up there for me. A day at a nice course is going to run at least $60 (probably more like $80, with drinks, food, range balls, etc.) Lessons aren't cheap ($50/half hour), nor is equipment (a decent set of clubs runs at least $500.) Factor in shoes, clothes, sunglasses, etc., and it's no wonder golf is perceived as being a rich person's sport.

Definitely, which is why I play mostly twilight rounds for $8 and buy recycled balls.

For me it's all execution. Knowing I can hit the shot I want and actually hitting it are often not even on the same planet.

That and fighting swing thoughts when I'm on the course.

i hate driving lately.... very frustrating.... everything from pull hooks to push slices... then 3 in a row that go 280 down the middle...blah

Putting right now - five three puts today and missed two birdie putts from 6 feet.

It's more frustrating spending an hour a day doing different drills, practicing, etc. just on putting alone.

I would say never being able to get all cylinders firing at once. Or at least for 18 holes. I always seem to have a poor back nine when the front is a barnburner.

[Prairie Golfer]

Waiting on the slack jawed idiots in front of me.

[Smw]

The way I leave the ball short when hitting from 100 yards and in.

The way I hit the ball long from 100 yards and out.

Being a longer than average, accurate ball striker with a high handicap due to a dreadful short game.

The silly mistakes I make.

[wedge player]

For me, it's whenever I am having a bad day on the course and after like three balls on the range, I'll found out my problem.

that me to the tee

[flopdarock]

when my balls decide to be lumberjacks and scubadivers all day long

The cost of golf. It seems to be the most expensive sport.

[cougar978]

Slow players and dumbasses who cheat.

[PEZGolf]

Playing in a 35 mph wind that gusts and swirls. I did that yesterday, and had to take my golf cap off for every tee shot, every shot from the fairway, every chip or pitch shot and every putt. I was walking 18 holes on a course that is extremely difficult to walk because of the steep hills, and I was exhausted by the end. And yet, I did play the last three holes in 1 under par!

[Titleist Man]

I hate it when i hit a tee shot i think is perfect and cant find he ball or if its in a divot. I also HATE putting a shot to 5-6 feet and then blowing the birdie putt by by 4 feet and missing the putt.

I also hate hitting a putt at the exact spot i wanted and at the exact speed i wanted and the putt misses but just barely. And when i completely screw up the line and seed but it goes in.


The last thing is when i play with someone who plays once a month and they play great golf. It just kinda bothers me cause i practice and play everyday and i still lose after they do nothing(although they may not be able to practice or play).

[walk18]

not being able to play as much as I'd like.

[TigerPride]

Hitting a great shot blindly and not being able to find your ball afterwards

The cost

What happens when I hit my driver...not good. haha

[Sandplay]

Hitting a great shot and then follow it up with a not so good shot.
And at the moment winter golf its just so wet in nz at the moment.
