People Need to Stop Doing This

[Mr. Grassburner]

I'm sick of hearing people say how the jerk they were playing with jinxed them by saying they were having a good round. If you blew it at the end, it's your own fault for not executing properly. When I'm playing with friends and someone is shooting lights out I tell them that, not to psyche them out but to compliment them, and if I'm shooting well I like the acknowledgement as well. Stop trying to make the guy who compliments you in your round to be the bad guy when you go downhill.

wait a second, here's your soapbox...oops, I see you already have it. Nevermind.

[kpaulhus]

lol I dont get bothered when people say it. Heck, Ill walk off the 16th green sayin "I need a birdie and par on the last two holes to shoot a new personal best"

[Stretch]

Looks like bits of the soapbox got stuck in his gears, causing them to grind.

Same here, no excuses.

[jamo]

It doesn't bug me, but I would never personally do it to someone else. I say something like "nice par" or "great shot" but I don't go out of my way to say "wow, you've got a great 3 under round going, is this your best ever?"

Never bothered me one way or the other. I don't need it either as a compliment nor as gamesmanship. I usually know about where I stand, especially when I'm playing well, so anything anyone else says can't make that any more significant.

That is our society as a whole....nothing is my fault, someone else must have made the mistake. Sense of personal responsibility is nill!

[billysandy]

My playing partner piled on the pressure of an easy 4footer to finish on the 18 just as i lined up and i missed it. I want to say it was his fault, but it's probably because i pulled it!

Okay, from now on I'll tell my playing partners that they're playing poorly and stinking up the joint on the offhand chance that they might actually want to blame me for it. Lighten up, fer Chrissakes!

[Easy]

Who cares? I'm sick of people caring about petty shiznit.

I used to run my mouth when I played Hockey, Football and Rugby. I hockey and rugby if I took it a bit too far I even got the chance to back it up, with about a 50/50 succses rate. But I never found mind games or needling very fitting in Golf. Sure when I playing my weekly round with buddies, we will joke around a bit (unless it really is a big shot), but in tournements or real mathes I would never doing anything close to needling.

I think with the internet needling is for a generation of people - water off a ducks back. If someone needles me I don't really care and all it does is highlight a way which they would not like to be treated themselves. So they make themselves vulnerable.

Running your mouth in hockey is soooo lame. Unless your Sean Avery
