Who, while you’re playing it my group and I am in the middle of my backswing; has to YELL at the Cart girl.

To get his 4th beer :beer: today!

In his defense, I blame the first three beers…

But, yeah… that’s obnoxious

I am pretty easy going but a couple things that have happened:

-The guy who left his range finder at home asks you to shoot all his shots, then the bunker, then that tree…
-The guy that bases all his club decisions off the tee from what you’re hitting…
-The guy that feels the need to tell me why I sliced that shot… (I have a coach for that)
-The guy that doesn’t watch his ball after he hit it, either from being blind or being pissed off

I guess that was more than a couple.

It was a quaple.
The big question is, was that all the same guy?

My no-filter, hard of hearing, loud anyway father has conditioned me to not even notice that stuff. He’s like Earl Woods without the racial slurs, but I’m like way worse than Tiger.

Don’t be that guy that throws a tantrum after every bad shot. It ruins the round for everyone. We’re in an after work beer league for a reason, bad golf happens to us all

Like I said, I am pretty easy going and I can be VERY quiet while playing. I don’t really like to chit chat unless it is just practice or having a few drinks during the round. If I am playing for something I am trying to just focus. Short of just saying “Shut up” I don’t really know how to handle them

It’s hard to approach a loudmouth on the course, especially when they have a few drinks in them. I’m like you in competition. Subdued. Focused. I still expect what most of us would consider a pretty normal level of etiquette even on just for fun rounds.

Whats everyone’s record for “that guy” club throws on a hole? On a par 5 I’ve seen driver, long iron, and putter (And made bogey).

Try to avoid playing with him.

Also same person who’s head I’m in :wink:

Oh my god I forgot about how old that gets. “You hit from the wrong side of the ball.”

My best friend got a 7 iron stuck about 30 feet up in a tree then had to climb the tree to get it. Not much makes you feel dumber than being an adult scaling a tree chasing the tool of your tantrum. That was fun to watch.

Oh wow I think the most I’ve seen is 2 that’s impressive! I played with a guy once who was a club slammer, just beating the ground like it had wronged him and forced his bad shot. Never saw him break one but gotta imagine he’s personally finding a fair amount of the club industry
