The absolute worst is when u get paired w a random and they start giving you swing advice
Keep your anger inside. No-one wants to golf with a brat child
Don’t hit on the snack cart girl. It’s creepy. Be nice and always tip.
dont forget "good contact" even if that ball goes flying into the other fairway
Maybe this is just me … don’t talk to someone else’s ball when they hit a bad shot. When I thin a pitch shot the last thing I want to hear is you say “sit!” When everyone knows damn well there is no way that ball is going to sit
Walking in the line is not a big deal who cares
Don’t brag about ur clubs. Unless somebody asks
Here’s one:
If someone says nice shit do not follow that with oh I missed it..off the toe low on the face ETC. if you want to let everyone know it wasn’t your best just say..I’ll take it..that it
I don’t care about rules, as far as I see it I’m paying money to drink beer in the sun and exercise in a more fun way that just running any more thought into than that and i feel like your missing the point
If you're listening to music and get close enough to another golfer where their conversations are somewhat audible, pause the music to be respectful to their game
Sorry no breakfast ball's
My group like swing advice . When we know what each other swing looks like and that day it’s wacky we tell them their swing is different
8 or ⛄️ on the scoreboard and we all drink.
If you’re driving the golf cart, and you run through a big grassy hole that you didn’t see and your partner flies out you say “my bad”
“Good speed” after a putt where the line was wrong but the pace was spot on OR to diffuse the tension after a terrible putt.
Just say “ball”. It’s cleaner.
First one to put the ball in the hole is now responsible for the flag.
Help them look for your ball if you’re already in a safe space and waiting. Your ball is on the green? Look for their ball in the bush
Ready golf.. who care who has the honours .. if you’re ready hit your tee shot
"good ball you f**** donut"
I’ve told my wife to talk in my backswing. I am not that good…. Tell me how your coworkers suck baby!!😂
Im the only scratch player in my 4 different groups of friends that i play with regularly, and some of them need to hear these. Also, i wish sometimes there was someone better than me in my groups to give advice when i need it most. Helps my mental, and my physical game. But to all you 12+ handicappers out there that play regularly with a good friend thats also a good player, we dont mind you telling us that our swing is off, in fact, i encourage it. If you see me missing the green to the right all day long, and you see me aiming right unintentionally. Tell me after the shot, and i will make the adjustment.
#6 if you haven’t found your ball and 2 minutes have gone by it’s time to drop and take a penalty 😂
If the putt is a club length from the hole it is a gimme
Guy complains about pace of play then hits you with “everyone should take a breakfast ball”
no need for 5 sorry
we play ready golf off the tee-box (and anywhere else), except when someone made a birdie or better.. then it's their honor..
if you don't make it past the ladies-tee/red-tee, it's a drink for the group..
never drive into the tee box area when other golfers are on the tee
Good speed on a putt that barley missed.
Not too bad on a shot that's not in trouble but not very good either.
I used to be a big breakfast ball and one mulligan per 9 guy, but I decided to stop taking them and my game got so much better knowing that every shot counts. I personally don't care if others in my group want one, but I'm just hitting and accepting the outcome, even if it means I'm 3 off the tee on the 1st hole.
If my wife calls your cart partner backs your story on how the meeting went longer than expected.
Rake bunkers and repairs divots.
Always yell fore even if ur 110 percent sure it won’t hit the people in front of you
