Crap the Pros Don't Have to Deal With...

[PooN]

Duffing a 5 iron 50 yards left and out of bounds or topping a driver 15 yards short of the ladies tees.

Think again.....

Foxy cart girls that sit in the middle of the fairway thinking they are far back enough for you to hit and your swing gets all messed up because you really don't want to hit them and they won't move*

[sean_miller]

Waiting on slow players - doh!
Someone making noise during their backswing - doh!

How about, stubbing their toe while using a foot wedge?!?

hahahahaha

Unreliable yardages.

At one point in time, every single professional golfer likely had to deal with most of these things. They didn't just become a pro over night. Many played on the same crappy courses that everyone else plays on as they were developing their skills.

15. Fairways that are all divoted up and wet/dirty. Nothing worse than hitting that perfect drive and having it plug into wet, muddy grass. Or it landing in someone elses divot.

actually, pros deal with completely divoted up fairways. its amazing that when i watch on tv the shots from the blimp that they dont hit into divots more often. Since all those guys are so radar locked on targets, there is a general consensus on a lot of holes on where the best place to be is off the tee and since they are so good at hitting those targets, there are massive areas of divots that im sure many players hit into that we dont see on tv, but i am amazed at how many times the ball is inches from about 6 divots but yet still finds grass

I've noticed this too. They do get caught in divots occasionally, but not nearly as often as you would think. Am I right in assuming that the greens crews come out after each round in a pro tourney and improve the divots as much as they can?

8. Drinking too much by the 5th hole.

I think John Daly may have argued that point a few years ago. For me it would be:

Weeds on the green Clumps of crap in the middle of the fairway that the mower missed!

[purduegolfer]

paying for a cart that is slower than one can walk.

[mdbuschsr]

Greens with so many ball marks they look like the face of a 16-year-old acne ridden adolescent!

[Joeyvee]

Sitting coach on a plane.

They don't have to put up with the delusion that if they didn't have to put up with the "crap" that is imagined here they'd be be pros.

who here said that? and big +1s to the aeration holes and having someone watch where your ball went from the fairway.

What! Weed on the green is the best! Oh wait, you said weeds...

[O.B. Right]

They may get stuck behind a slow group but they NEVER have to deal with the idiots in the group behind hitting into them on every hole at the same time.

Looking for you tube videos of watching Sergio Garcia thow fits..... they get to see it live
