More Pet Peeves: Players with rabbit ears who get upset by someone talking on another hole. They expect everyone in the same zip code to freeze and be absolutely quite.

The trip to Horseshoe Bay was great. Played Apple Rock three times and Ram Rock twice. Apple Rock has bermuda greens and Ram's are Bent. They are different courses built ten or so years apart but in great condition. The staff was first rate. Will be going back.

We have 12 of us heading down to Horseshoe Bay to play five rounds Thursday, Friday, & Saturday. Playing Ramrock and Applerock. Not staying at the resort; nearby La Quinta was much more affordable. I'll report back next week. On previous trips we have been to Hot Springs Village, Ark, Tyler, TX and last year to the Wichita/Newton, KS area.

After playing golf for 50 years, my number one Pet Peeve is: Golfers who do not know how to play while riding in a golf cart. It drives my nuts when I see the first player in a cart going through the whole routine of checking the lie, walking off distance, checking the wind, picking a club, taking a practice swing, taking another practice swing, and then finally hitting the shot. Then he has to walk back to the back of the cart and clean his club and replace it in the bag. He then gets into the cart and drives TEN YARDS to his partners ball and the partner then gets out of the cart and proceeds to go through the same routine! Please, either let one player out at his ball and drive to yours; or, get out of the cart and walk to your ball so you can be preparing to hit your shot while he his doing the same. Four hour rounds should be the RULE , not the EXCEPTION ! Thanks, I feel better now.
