How about.

Don't hit the golfballs into their back garden???? They didn't sign up for people to hit shots at their houses.

Because I'm sure everyone that has ever hit a golf ball into someone's back yard did it on purpose?

Please note he's from Ireland. He may not realize just how many, and how close to the course US Golf Course houses are.

Over there they worry over possibly hitting livestock.

True, I play in NC as well (Fayetteville area Baywood my home course) and I probably hit one in the yard every other time I go play..

People who throw their clubs and yell. Its just so immature and ends up bringing down the attitude of the group.

People who search waaaaayyyy entirely too long for a ball they lost in the high grass or in the woods.

reading posts about pet peeves on golf courses. we all do something that annoys others.

I agree but I still have to contribute.....my biggest pet peeve is when I'm on a crowded course that is playing fairly slow and there is no where to go and the group behind you is running up your butt like you are holding up the show....

All good points. However no one mentioned the guy in the group in front of you who is waiting for the green to clear when he needs to carry the ball 250 yards and he hasn't hit a ball that far all day including has tee shot. When he finally does play his shot he tops it.

Not a peeve mine - I'm hoping that guy tops it. I may tell him, "good effort", but then I think, "no, that was a very bad effort!".

Man, I just took up golf but I've been reading so many threads where it seems folks do things specifically designed to provoke a physical confrontation, possibly hurt someone else, or just generally act like high school kids that I am feeling like this was the wrong sport to hope to find relaxation, fun, and commeradie doing!

I like that you think with an exclamation point-the image is cracking me up!

Okay, you guys get a pass. ;)

older women on the golf course....

you know the type, have no idea of golf etiquette, take 15 min on each hole without allowing anyone to play through...

There's not a whole lot that bothers me but I can't stand when people walk or drive a cart behind me when I'm swinging. The other thing is if I'm riding and the person driving constantly pulls up with in 3 feet of my ball and expects me to hit with the cart there.

better to be safe, how does waiting a minute or so really matter. If someone told me "hurry up and hit, you wont hit them"...Ill politely ask them to go play there ball. Ive given up honors, just so I dont land the green. Get this...Im not worried about hitting someone on the green, Im worried that they'll take my ball. when it happens to you its a round destroyer and its happened to me 3x.

Actually, I very much enjoy that guy. Aren't we all rooting for him to top it?
