How many of these do you break?

Pretty lame list.  If anyone didn't know any of that, they don't play golf.  However, one of those really gets under my skin.  That is when terrible players try to give better players advice.  I've had it happen to me several times.

I may be struggling one day, and very frustrated, then some jackwaggon that I'm still beating by 15 shots despite playing terrible tries to give me advice, usually terrible advice.

I like to get tips from better players when they see something that might actually help (I know there is plenty to improve upon in my swing), but a hack that is repeating some tip he saw on school of golf that has no application to my struggles really bothers me for some reason.  I suppose I shouldn't let it bother me, but it is usually combined with a day that I am already frustrated and sends me over the top.

I don't care if I am better than my playing partners by far. I don't like to give advice unless they ask for it. And sometimes not even then.

Re the last one mentioned. I hardly ever see anyone take their caps off after the round to shake hands.

The being absolutely quiet, unless you are in a tourny is stupid. Golf is a fun social sport. Used to have a guy in our Thursday group that couldn't play dead in a cowboy movie, but if you were in your cart 30 yds away, talking in a whisper, his rabbit ears would pick it up. People whispering while your swinging isn't the reason you suck.

Another thing is the ball retriever. They should be outlawed, especially if you're a woman. If the damn ball is in the bottom of Lake Maria, you can't play it. Go to a garage sale, buy you a gallon freezer bag full of balls for 2 bucks, and live to play another day.

I agree with the gimmes. Rake away the one footers. Keeps folks from stepping all over the hole.

the being quiet isn't going to happen. some of the guys i've played with enjoy teasing each other and carrying on . especially on a course that allows beer .

I think women should absolutely be allowed on ALL golf courses................... on Christmas Eve to buy their husbands something from the Pro shop for Christmas.

Mind games like teasing are just part of the game. I know you are supposed to be playing against the course, but let's be real. Most of us play with people We want to beat the knickers off of. I have a cousin that if he gets ahead of me, I start talking politics and he's done.
