If the pet peeve thread were still around, i'd add 'people that don't repair their pitch marks' on greens.

Another one is playing partners who can't be still while you putt.

I willclose kitchen cabinet doors in other peoples houses if they leave them open. For example my grandmother is notorious for getting a glass and only half closing the cabinet door.UGH I can not stand it. I am constantly closing her cabinets. She just laughs at me ..... I do not think she is funny hahaha

I had 43 putts (i counted them) the last time i played. I would have had a good score with anything like a decent putting round.

If the pet peeve thread were still around, i'd add 'people that don't repair their pitch marks' on greens. I was thinking the same. Only thing worse is when those same people turn around and complain about all the pitch marks on the greens.

Only thing worse is when those same people turn around and complain about all the pitch marks on the greens. Another golf-related pet peeve: slow play, esp. when said slow play is caused by someone plumb-bobbing every putt, taking 3 practice swings before every shot...etc......all while in the process of shooting 150. No crime in being bad, but i can play bad in a hurry.

Or they let you play thru...then don't let you get clear of them before they're already hitting into you.

Another golf pet peeve...when the group behind you tees off before you are out of the way and doesn't yell fore when they see the ball heading for another player. I had a ball land 10 feet from me on the way to the cart to go to the next hole last night. Word! Last two times out we've been behind a group that treats every putt like it's for the win at the Masters. Both times, while waiting for said slow-pokes, the group behind hit into us.

For those of you who insiston eating candy in pairs/even numbers..what do you do if the bag, itself, has an odd amount inside...throw the extra one away? No! You have to keep going until it evens out. If you have to buy a new bag, thems the breaks. Better question: sometimes you get a skittle that is deformed and roughly half the size of a regular skittle. Do you count this as 1, or 0? Do you alter this rule if you run into the predicament that Joker asked about above?

My driving and iron play are still relatively good....my chipping and putting have gone to h*ll in a handbasket. I watch the pros.....a pretty bad day putting for them is like 30 putts...a good day putting for them is like 20. I had 43.....it was truly awful.

If your iron play was any good, you wouldn't be chipping.

I do not think she is funny hahaha My husband has the same quirk. When we are at his mothers house she purposely goes into the kitchen and opens all the cabinets just to drive him nuts.

If your iron play was any good, you wouldn't be chipping. I didn't say my iron game was PGA Tour-ready.....but i hit them solidly still and hit i'd say 40-50% of greens in regulation. (Not sure if your tongue was in cheek or not.)
