5 Things I Hate About Golf
- Twilight Foursomes - I get it, some groups need the twilight rate. But some of us working during the day wanna finish a round after work in 3 hours. That foursome usually wants to dick around and take up the full 4 and 1/2 hours. Hurry up!
- Your Bros Not Taking a 3 foot putt seriously - You're competing with your bros, and they do this weird stance consistenly on 3 or 4 feet putts and consistently miss it, then count it as good. Then they brag to your other friends that they beat you by a stroke. No you fuckin didn't you cheated!
- Peeps hitting from the Blues or Blacks with no business being there - See this one all the time. Dudes hitting from the blues because "Bro, I can hit my driver 300 yards". It does no good to hit that driver 300 yards when its 100 yards to the right. Furthermore, that tee shot makes you further away on every shot going forward giving you more opportunity to fuck up your shots down the line. You need to be shooting in the 70s before moving to the next tee.
- People not knowing how to drop of players on the carts - I see foursomes all drive to one ball, watch that dude hit, then both carts drive to the next player watch him hit and so forth. Bros, drop every player off at their ball, have every one be ready to hit, then pick each other up and drive to the next balls.
- People who want to play "Smart golf" - Bro, hit your fucking driver off the tee. I guarantee you thats the easiest club to hit. Your 4 iron shot isn't smart, it just makes your next fuckup even longer to recover from.

Context: I played twilight golf yesterday and these came up. What better way to vent your anger than this board.

- What the fuck are you doing messing around with public golf with your income and living in Seattle? You have to drive to at least Tacoma to get anything decent.
- Agreed. I’ve experienced this, maybe not so much with putts but more with people who play with their own made up rules. It’s a reason you should always play for even a small amount of money. You can say whatever you want but I’m not paying you.
- Agreed.
- Agreed.
- Driver sweet spots are so huge now that it’s stupid not to hit unless a reachable hazard or a dogleg.

6. I’ve played a ton of matchplay in actual competition this year. Please do not ask if something is good. Calmly proceed to marking your ball until you hear otherwise. And no Im not giving you the three footer downhill that you have to play outside the hole. I will not be offended when that putt is not given to me.

Admittedly the Throbber plays virtually zero golf. Enjoy watching the elite players but rarely pick up a club.
Have never understood the whole concept of a gimme. Joe Average hacks his way down the fairway with somewhere between 6 and 10 shots and finally reaches his goal. At the very least, the sound of the ball eventually hitting the bottom of the cup should provide some satisfaction.

Yeah it’s good and bad. Speeds up play, but you’d be shocked to see how many 3 footers are missed by guys in competition where everything has to get holed out. And then these same guys bitch at the bar about other peoples handicaps being too high that do play by the rules and do hole out everything when they play.
