What puts you off a round of golf?

[Ferrins]

Your set to play a round and you bail, why? I turned up to the golf club today and went up to register and then the thought of playing a stableford round put me off so bailed and went back home.

[Buzz]

Nothing. Has never happened.

[Shortylook]

lightning,probably the only thing that would/has stopped me

[Captain Nemo]

Rain.
If it's drizzling I don't bother getting out of the car sometimes....

[Grunt]

My lack of ability!

[Lagerlover]

Cored greens

[Mayhem]

Seeing the coring machine getting loaded back into the work shed or the truck. Even though courses sometimes give discounts when the greens are under maintenance, i still don't like it.

[mike]

Cost.


A month or so ago I thought I'd go have a hit. Got there and found out it was day two of our club open. Cost was more than double what we normally pay. No thanks.


Went home and took the missus out for lunch instead. Cost me double that again but it's the principle.

[BUSHY]

Cost.

It wasn't about showing them anything.

My lack of ability! If that was a factor I would never play !

[Hatchman]

Nothing.

[matty]

Two things, turning up for a social hit and seeing multiple groups on the tee, and if it was absolutely pissing down. I usually manage to avoid both.

Rain.

The fact there are no mods or infraction points to keep things safe. Real life scares me.

A bit tough on school teachers - the keys to our future.
But otherwise would anyone want to play with a brightly dressed accountant unless there's a drinks cart ?
You don't need to further qualify with range finder and a Nudgee context.

Clueless players ( generally high markers and/or old blokes) who have no etiquette and trample all over your line. Daves classes that as gamesmanship.

[KristianJ]

I'm fine with light rain...pissing down or torrential forecast is another matter though.

But I had a couple of Benno's pet hates today...a 45 capper female and a couple of slowish pokes. It was more the bunting aspect of her play that got tedious and slowed things up other than anything else...Betty White stuff, I'd say.

[jimandr]

After a bit of thought, here is my list. Many things have been mentioned, but a few have not. These are the things that will stop me playing at all. Once I reach the course, I'm playing, no matter what.

Known club throwers and tantrum throwers.
Extreme heat - 40 degrees on the forecast and I cancel
Early starts - sorry boys, I'm just not playing before about 8.30
Heavy dew/frost - see above
Cored greens
Lady Partners of handicap 30 and above
Likely flooding of the course - I can put up with a bit of rain, but I'll bail if I know the course can't take it.
Father/son combo's when the son is a kid.
Groups that are known golf course gamblers - some love a side bet, but I don't.

[PerryGroves]

Groups that are known golf course gamblers - some love a side bet, but I don't.

we are unlikely to play jimandr. I have played hundreds, even maybe a couple of thousand rounds over 35 years. Even when I was a kid we bet. I don't like playing for real money however a couple of side bets (always under 40 dollars) gives you something to play for when you are having one of the many many 30-32 point rounds.

[Buzz]

Actually having read the thread I'll amend my answer ... The one thing that would give me pause is playing in a group with three single figure players who have the attitude that if your cap is over 15 you don't belong on the course, or even as a member.

[BenM]

Ex pros who think they're better than everyone else.

[Bruce]

The casual sexism of golfers is really odd.

[WBennett]

Bruce

I dislike playing with blokes off 36 who should be off 45 as much.

Add cored greens to my list. Especially when you didn't know they were cored before you turned up, and you have driven an hour or two or more to play there that day.

[shazza_rs]

I find it amusing so many of you hate playing with high handicap lady players. If those were my criteria I'd never get a game in the Saturday comp.

I find it just as irritating to play with high handicapped male golfers. At least (and this is a big generalisation) lady high handicappers know their limitations and tend to keep a good pace of play up. Men high handicappers on the other hand still think they can hit a green from 210+m away when they have hit their drive 150!!

PS. Final round of club champs for me last Saturday. 3hrs 45min round following group of said high handicapper ladies.

[coalesce]

High handicappers, low handicappers, I hate playing with people who either take the game too seriously, or not seriously enough. Why can't everyone be just right? :)

It doesn't put me off playing altogether but I don't like playing with people who say aww fing this fing that after every shot. Get over yourselves - you're going to mess shots up but that doesn't mean you have to bellow it across the course...

[JADO75]

That's quite an exact figure..

I think if you're under 60 years if age you shouldn't be able to have a hcp higher than 27. If you can't play to 27 stiff shite, get out & practice like the rest of us have to get to a respectable hcp. If you're over 60, you've earnt a head start from a shorter tee box & a higher hcp.

[Wenz]

Heavy winds combined with rain!

[Waddzy]

Raining to the point of flooded greens.. other than that I don't even have wet weather gear and ill generally stick it out.

Also guys who wait before hitting into a green from 200m+ out when they've played driver to about 170 off the tee... that nearly killed me during the club champs the past few weeks and took every bit of patience I have not to walk after 9 holes.

[coalesce]

I didn't think handicaps could go above 28 (for men) until I moved to Aus. Apparently in France, you start with a handicap of 54!!!

Oh yeah totally understand. I'm off 21.2 so not offended or anything.
Was more just wondering if there was any reasoning behind specifically picking "27" as your "cutoff"
Thought maybe there was a joke in there about another ozgolfer :P

Males off 10 = Women off 27-36 handicaps same same IMHO. I should have added men who dont like playing with women to my list.
Retarded golfers with hooks!!!

[mrbluu]

Why would this bother u???

[Wenz]

You can never trust yardage markers

[Dotty]

. The golfer who presumes.

I don't presume to have the honour every hole. I just tee off first to speed up play because I'm ready and can't reach the group ahead.

Other than that, I fit all your criteria for a perfect playing partner. :)

[JADO75]

By all means add it mate, whether its right or wrong some of us would rather not play golf with women. Love that you think it's wrong for blokes to not want to play golf with birds yet are comfy enough to throw around the word retard

[Buzz]

Jado, on the 27 limit issue ... Don't you think this is a disincentive for people looking to take up the game as an adult? Saying you have to be able to break 100 consistently before you can play comp would be a powerful disincentive.

[JADO75]

Shits me to tears seeing blokes off 27+ that put no effort into their golf & are happy to get their 6 a 3. If they can't break 100, then that should be their problem not everyone else's. Not saying they can't play comp but their hcp should be no more than 27 unless you're 60+ or aren't able bodied. Maybe golf isn't for them?

[Buzz]

Understand your point but I wonder what percentage of club golfers are in that zone ... And I wonder how viable some clubs would be if they all left.

[Webster]

Choppers who don't watch where their crappy shots go.
Choppers who expect me to help them find their balls after they haven't watched where they went.
Choppers who take three practice swings before each of their 100+ shots.
Choppers who are slow.
Choppers who don't know the rules.
Choppers who talk or move while I am hitting

He should have been in the sack with the rest of the kittens.

[KristianJ]

Visitor in my group on a Saturday about 6 weeks ago shot 6 points off 26.

I spotted his name on the results page yesterday - 40 points off 25.

Mind boggles.

[Webster]

quality sledge that one...

I really don't give a toss who I play with most of the time. But please if you are a high handicapper you have to understand that you are going to have many more shots and therefore you have to be aware of your propensity for slowing down others in the group. Be ready and get on with it. It aint a race, but you shouldn't be stuffing up other players games.

Its interesting topic Bluu using gps devices has improved scoring for club golfers? Has scoring changed or is it just someting else to fill their heads with?

Not sure about other golfers but for me using my laser ranger finder and improved my golf game by at least 2 shots a round, maybe more. It also makes my play quicker as I don't have to pace out distances from sprinkler heads etc.

Knowing exact yardages have actually removed doubt from my mind and help me commit to the shot at hand.

All I know since using these devices I was able to more than halve my handicap and keep it in low figures. 4 years ago I was still off 12, 2 years ago I was still off 9 and earlier this year I got down to an all time low 3.3 ( I know hate this bit). I would be completely lost with out my laser.

I can vouch that it saves me an easy 2 shots per round.

I was never one for pacing distances out before. I always used to just roughly guesstimate from the markers.

I still visualise what club first than laser it. A number of times it makes me change selection and is always correct. Some times the difference between chipping or putting.

Being able to commit to the club and swing knowing doubt is gone is the biggest advantage.

Still can't believe they made these devices legal.

I do agree on one hand that at some point in the standard that some play at, it would not be making one iota of difference and using one would just be slowing them down.
What standard (hcp) that starts at I have no idea.

[Buzz]

I think using handicap as a guide for who should and shouldn't use them is flawed. I've played with a 30 capper at my club who hits great woods and irons but is terrible inside 50m. Using GPS works for him as he hits from outside 50m pretty consistently distance wise, if not accuracy wise.

On the other hand I've played with guys off 8 or 9 who are awful off the tee and fairways yet have amazing touch around the greens that gets them out of jail with monotonous regularity.

People have different games, handicap isn't one size fits all.

We had those two playing foursomes a couple of weeks ago.

The 24 marker kept asking or reading off distances off my Sureshot clipped to my bag. His mates in the other team stirred him, as he owns a laser and hardly ever uses it. (Second hand off one of the mates when the mate upgraded.) I start thinking 'I could score myself a cheap laser here', so I ask to try it (when it is 24 marker turn to hit our ball, so as to not slow play).

For my style of play off 10, a laser is too much hassle compared to the GPS. It doesn't help that we have shrubs off the back of some greens, so I had to double check that the laser reading.

Coldtopper may be right. (It wasn't that hard to say after all.)

Maybe you should come and play one of the OzGolf champs then, quite a few consistent ball strikers on here.

[oldracer]

I'm a chopper and can't play but love my toys, part of the attraction I think, my pinloc tells me how far which I can generally hit just not the accuracy so i find that's one less strategic task I don't have to worry about.

I regularly play with a 15 capper who routinely asks me distances, which shits me to begin with. It annoys me even more when I will scan from 4m behind the tee blocks and he paces out the distance from me to the blocks. 100% serious. He'll also have a go at me for not walking up to the blocks to get the most accurate number.

Holes where I don't pull out the laser, especially par 3s, send him loopy.

I have scanned the pro shop previously and told him how many metres he needs to walk to go buy one.

A lot of the time I just make up numbers now.

Give him the distances in yards

[Johnny Canuck]

Give him the distances in yards

We both work in yards, need to throw metres to him.

I did have a chuckle a few weeks back when he looked at my gps and took the distance to the previous green that we had just played as I hadn't bothered changing it to the next hole.

[Collis]

I have a few:

1.Playing infront or behind a group of old players (70+) - problem at our club
They are disrespectful if in front they never let you through but will take forever to find balls, if behind they hit up in you.
They have been at the club for so long they think they are owed something. But only ever enter the club rooms to pick up there vouchers
2.wind
3.people who walk on you line on wet greens
4.arrogant members who tell you how the club should run (joys of being on the committee)
5.cored greens
6.team events
7.people who complain something on the course makes them play badly (pin position, tee placement, length of greens) - everyone else has to play on it.

Think that's it.

Put my name down this morning before checking todays format. 4BBB ffs! Scrubbed my name out pronto.

- Rain,
- High winds
- Teeing off knowing that some of the clubs slowest players are in a group ahead
- Club Champs of various forms being slotted in ahead, (just know it's going to be a long SLOW day)
- Playing at Lady Bay
- Cored greens
- Checking the tee times and finding the club 'Mr Angry' has put himself in a spare slot

Turning up to play in a 4bbb only to find that my partner cancelled and now have to play in a three.

Wankers you get paired with who feel they have to commentate on your round or shots, pointing out the obvious! Shits me! Then there's some that use inappropriate sarcasm like saying good shot when you've hit it in a bunker or in the trees!

[noren]

Cored greens
Agree whole heartedly.

Turning up to play in a 4bbb only to find that my partner cancelled. I call bs.

I avoid playing with club throwers. It's childish and awkward for everyone else in the group.

Having said that there's a known club chucker at my club that is a pleasure to play with. He can fling his putter 80 metres away but forget about it instantly and nek minnut have you in fits of laughter.
