...I hit a tee shot, and somebody in my group says "Nice drive!" as I watch my ball cutting into the trees.

Give me yours.

I hate it when I see cigar/cigarette butt, sunflower seed shells on and around green.

I am stuck at work while my golf buddies are playing and blowing up my phone with txt and pics. I really really really hate people that pull right on my cart when I am parked at the tee box, and in the tee box ... especially when they feel the need to hop out and watch, or talk with their buddy ... WTF???

This is a pet peeve of mine as well, I can't stand that.   I know they are generally trying to be supportive but when the ball is headed for the trees, it's not a nice drive.

I hate it when...

You show up to the first tee at your tee time, and the foursome ahead of you is fooling around at the tee box, cutting up and laughing while they are digging their gloves out of their bags, figuring out what balls to use, finding tees, popping open beers, goosing each other with their drivers, and doing just about everything you can do short of actually teeing off. All the while the starter is just sitting there, even though the previous foursome has left the first green. You know you are in for a long, tedious day.

True story. After they teed off, we asked the starter (a retiree and a pretty nice guy) about the gap, and he just shrugged and said "What can you do?"

my pet peev is similar. I hit a shot that i know is a load of :poo: and they say "ooh that sounded nice". Yeah, it'll sound even nicer when my follow up shot is ricocheting around the trees!

Yeah, something all golfers must learn is to just say nothing about others shots, unless it's truly a nice shot, and then only after the ball has stopped moving.

I hate it when I can't play golf.

I guess I don't care much if someone comments on my ball flight or not.  I don't however like "on course instructions" from someone that can't break 90 when playing by the rules.

+1 on this, regardless of the skill of the golfer trying to give me an unwanted lesson.

I hate: Hitting the ball fat Missing any putt that is 3 feet or less Any shot missed because of a fade/slice Slow play Players who exhibit poor golf etiquette, either out of ignorance or indifference I'm sure there's plenty more...but that's the top 5.

When playing with a group of your golf buddies and one of them never gets there at the appropriate time.

I hate playing with guys who never shut up on the course. Sometimes I play in a scramble with a buddy and we invariably end up with two of his friends who will just not shut up. Telling stories on the tee, telling stories on the green, talking while others are trying to hit, etc, etc.

I hate that too.  I love sunflowers seeds but is it really that hard to spit them in a used can or bottle?  I don't think so

I'm more apt to forgive players who don't know proper etiquette than those who just ignore it when you know that they play regularly.

I have to say, the on course stuff, for the most part, it doesn't bother me.

Last Sunday I was paired with these two guys, one of whom brought his 8 and 10 year old.  For the most part, the kids were well behaved.  I started out horribly and he tried to cheer me up as he saw it was getting to me.

None of that got to me, though.  I was frustrated with myself but the kids out there with their father enjoying the day and the course and the guy trying to make me feel better, it was just like, whatever.

I guess I'm lucky that I can block that stuff out.

Playing with people that use Multiple mulligans. Pulling their ball out from under a bush or tree so they can get a better swing. Then at the end of the day bragging that they almost beat you. Even though they know that you played Strictly by the rules.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
