📌 We’ve All Played with That Guy
Golf is supposed to be fun, relaxing, and social… until you get paired with one of these guys.
You know the ones:
• The Rules Police who calls every penalty, even in a friendly match.
• The Excuse Machine who blames everything but his swing for his bad shots.
• The Never-Ready Golfer who spends 5 minutes over every putt.
Every golfer has played with at least one of these annoying partners—but the real question is… which one are YOU stuck with most often?
Let’s break down the most frustrating types of golf partners, and let us know which one drives you crazy the most!
😡 1. The Rules Police
📢 “That’s a stroke penalty, actually…”
• This guy knows every obscure rule in the book—and he’ll remind you every hole.
• Steps off your drop to make sure it’s within exactly two club lengths.
• Calls out-of-bounds when your ball is one inch over the line.
• Probably still carries a printed rulebook in his bag.
✅ The Fix: Lighten up—it’s a casual round, not the U.S. Open.
🎯 2. The Swing Coach (Even Though He’s Terrible at Golf)
📢 “You just need to rotate more and hold the lag.”
• Gives unwanted swing tips—even though he’s a 24 handicap.
• Explains your swing flaws after every bad shot.
• Loves using phrases like “You’re coming over the top” and “Keep your head down!”
✅ The Fix: Unless you’re a PGA coach, keep the tips to yourself.
🎭 3. The Excuse Machine
📢 “The wind picked up!” “Bad bounce!” “These range balls are different!”
• Has an excuse for every bad shot—but never admits it’s his fault.
• Blames the clubs, the course, the weather, his breakfast, and Mercury in retrograde.
• If he shanks one, it’s because “he was trying something new.”
✅ The Fix: Just say, “That was a bad shot,” and move on!
🐢 4. The Never-Ready Golfer
📢 “Wait, is it my turn? Let me grab my club.”
• Stands around watching everyone else, but never gets ready for his shot.
• Takes forever to choose a club, then backs off the ball twice.
• Reads his putt from six different angles (and still three-putts).
✅ The Fix: Be ready when it’s your turn! The group behind you thanks you.
🎙️ 5. The One-Upper
📢 “Oh, you hit a 270-yard drive? I once hit one 320… uphill… into the wind.”
• Whatever you’ve done, he’s done it better—just ask him.
• Has a crazy golf story for every situation.
• Claims he once birdied the hardest hole at Augusta (on a simulator).
✅ The Fix: Let others have their moment, Tiger.
🥴 6. The Drunken Golfer
📢 “One more beer won’t hurt my swing.”
• Starts drinking at the first tee, barely finishes 18 holes.
• By the back nine, he’s taking divots the size of small countries.
• Thinks golf carts are race cars.
✅ The Fix: Save the heavy drinking for the 19th hole.
🔥 7. The Club Thrower
📢 “This game is so stupid.” (Hurls club into a tree.)
• Blows up after one bad hole.
• Slams his putter into the ground when he misses a 3-footer.
• Club mysteriously goes flying after a bad drive.
✅ The Fix: Relax—it’s just golf!
