The worst parts about golf

[Shindig]

My private club will not enforce pace of play. Their policy is that slow golfers must allow faster players to play through or around.

Find a private club that enforces pace of play?

I'm not a member of a private club, but if I were to join, that would be my main concern.

I love golf but I guess the worst part is the slow play. What really gets me are the guys who watch everyone else hit and then start their routine. They should be ready to hit long before everyone else is finished. Find your ball (but please don't take all day looking), go through your routine and hit it. Just don't hit anyone. If someone is down range holler before you swing. By the way, you can walk to your ball even if it's further down the fairway than your playing partner's, just don't get in their way.

Lost Ball can't stand playing in very cold conditions

I hate every single snob that plays the game. They do not only think they are very good, because they have a great "etiquette" (even if that they don't know what that is) but they also ruin the name of the game. They look like a couple of pimps most of the time.

slow play and waiting for the people in front to get out of the way even though they are 400 yards down the fairway are my annoyances.

when the weather is so bad that you can't play or practice.

course closed at the moment. driving range closed (can't pick up the balls). Ireland...

To me it is waiting around.

For how impatient i am, i do not see how i am a golfer

Also, looking for lost balls gets on my nerves too

[graff]

lost balls, slow play, mishits aplenty :) and breaking my driver only to break my new one on the day it arrived.

I would say the equipment makers are crooks. $400+ for a driver with nothing to it? You can find much more engineering and labor in other products for $400.
The balls are a rip-off, the irons are a rip-off...all of it is.

I know it's our fault, we pay it. That reminds me, I have to pick up another set of Mizuno MP-32's tomorrow...;)

Slow play, motormouths with more vocal volume than talent, unwanted advice, and cheaters. Hate 'em all. Once got paired up with a guy who exhibited all four... by the 4th hole I was ready for one of us to die.

I wish there were some way to be able to walk more. A majority of higher end courses force a cart on you. I'm not a purist in that I think everyone should walk, but I think there should be more of an effort to allow more walking. And it pains me to see young people on carts, especially those who could use the exercise.
