Pay for the RC??? Get outttta here. The kid was being a little punk trying to get you tube hits and he succeeded. Just not the way he wanted. I would've gotten that old guy a beer after his round. Hopefully he didnt scratch whatever club he swung.

Ya I wouldn't have risked my club, I would have kicked it but that putter looked to do WAY MORE DAMAGE than my foot probably would have done.

Another one for me, when you have a putt thats either a downhill putt or a tough curling putt that you just leave an inch or two short and someone says 'ooo that was a tentative stroke'. When really its usually just me trying to get the ball to the hole as a dead weight or ive hit it exactly as i wanted just slightly misjudged the speed

Some really good peeves here. Here is mine.

Dipping, and or Chewin... then spitting that brown crap all over the course. fairways are one thing, but on the freaking putting surface???? c'mon Jed Clampett. please don't. Even the freaking geese have class enough to not do their business till they reach the second cut of rough.

This was already mentioned, but I'm sayin' it again after yesterday: PLEASE FILL YOUR DIVOTS - EVEN IN THE FAIRWAY - WITH MIX IF IT'S ON THE CART!!!!!!!! I was one under on the back after my tee shot on 18. I haven't shot a 9 hole score under par in a very long time, so...... .....I get to my tee shot and I'm in a crater that could probably be seen from friggin' outer space. A regular human would have left a divot. This person must've used some kind of gardening tool to hit his shot. The top of the ball was well below the surface of the ground and against the front of the 'divot'. All of our carts have TWO sand pourer things! Had to take an unplayable and made bogey. Man, whaddya have to do to dig a hole that big?! To the guy that was too lazy to pour sand, thanks, a$$hole. I hope the next time you buy a brand new driver that you put a fat sky mark on it with your first swing. But I'm not bitter or anything.....:~(

I could leave that divot with a wedge. I'm a digger. I would have filled it though

For me, it's when the course is backed up and there are delays at the Tee Boxes.  Why does the group behind you always seem to drive right up on you in the Tee Box area while your either getting ready to Tee Off or in the middle of doing so...I mean when things like this occur (back ups) we always wait well behind the Tee Box area... out of respect imho

That being said, I ran into this guy last weekend that hit the ball into our fairway where my wife was fixing to tee off. He didn't wait for her before he came right over in front of her (about 60 yds down) and hit his ball again. It went about 10 yards and even further into our way. He lined up on it and hit it another 10 - 15 yds. He finally saw that he was being an idiot, picked up his ball and threw it into his fairway. The wife was then able to hit her shot. Those are exceptions.

Thanks for that post.  We had a group of 2 playing a few holes behind our foursome and when we were at the turn they were on the green at 9 so we waited for them to putt and told them to play through.  We were playing at a pace for a 4 hour round.  The two behind us said they don't mind and to take our time.  So we teed off and all 4 of us were in the fairway (between 200 and 250 yards) and one of them drove into us as we were waiting for the shortest of the group to hit his second shot.  No warning, no fore, no courtesy to apologize.  I fully recognize I have a short fuse but that set me off.  I teed his ball up in the fairway and blasted it 90 degrees to the right.  Was it wrong?  yes.  Should I have done it?  No.  But don't tell me that you're ok with our pace and then hit into us.  Crucify me.  I know it was a d*ick thing to do.

Uh, cuz he purposely destroyed it?

I am pretty sure any court would make him pay for the RC...as soon as the video was seen.

And as far as for 'getting what he deserved' - let the courts decide that. It's not our call.

Here's how I would have handled it. If my son came home with his destroyed RC & I saw the video of the guy doing it, I would ask the guy for the money to replace the RC...and then I wouldn't let my son have another one.

There is no reason for an rc to be on private property, a golf course is not a gravel piut. He had no right to be there, and has absolutely no recourse. You can believe anything you want, but you could nott make him pay for that, video or not.

He could even be accused of harrassing the guys on the green, video does not show how long this kids antics went on.  Laws are whacky. Though I would nbever support one that made that guy pay for that rc car. If you showed up at my door looking for cash, you'd be laughed at and have the door slammed in your face.

Not trying to be offensive. Just trying to get you to understand that the rc owner has zero recourse.

I don't know. So in other words, if I'm playing with my RC in an area where you don't like it, you have the right to destroy it? (note: I don't own and RC..just saying)

I get your point about the kid not having any right to be out there, but the recourse was wrong. You can't destroy other people's property just cuz you don't like it.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
