On vacation in Vegas maybe 6 or 7 years ago. I was placed with 2 other singles. Dude #1, nice enough guy, my age, but he had this swing trigger quirk that 2 months later I noticed I had started to copy bad idea, took me months to break it. That was very strange, when I play with people who have quirks like that I don't watch them anymore. Dude #2. Older dude. I think he thought he was better than he really was. Maybe he was just having a bad day, dunno. If memory serves (and it rarely does anymore), he was cussin' from the git go, MF this GD that, SOB'in...anyway you get the drift, and it was classic when he would do combo's "how did the MF'in ball break when the SOB'in green is so GD flat", dude #1 and myself actually started to look at each other and laugh, we were sure this guy was going to blow a valve. So we get to the 11th hole, and it was a hot day, over 90 and still climbing, and the sprinklers came on (the poor grass was stressin'), me being from Seattle and not used to this kind of weather I'm standing in the misty spray enjoying life, when I hear Dude #2 just laying into these Mexican course workers, in fact I think he even called them Mexican course workers but as you can imagine he wasn't as nice as I just was, and I do mean layed into them, I was shocked at his language. I think it was the very next hole, I seem to remember a large waste area that ran the entire length of the hole, he hit his tee shot into it, so he's stompin' into the gully me and t'other dude just hear him, not see him mind you, hear him, GD this MF'in course. A couple of minutes later, as we have played our second shots, we see him, and he's waving for us to go on. We never saw him again.

The Old Fart, who was with our group today, was really annoying me!!! We go to the men's tee's and I sit quiety while they tee off! We go to the ladies tee's, and he's still driving his noisey old buggy from the men's to the ladies, while I am trying to tee off!!! I don't know, maybe I am in a foul mood!!!!

Many years ago I played with an old bloke at my club, who proceeded to fart his way around 18 holes. He was eating dates and other dried friut and every 5 minutes or so he'd crack one off. It was funny at first then became midly disturbing... at one point I thought he was going to implode...

For sure TFT. I literally have no idea what the *fudge* that guy is saying the majority of the time. Of course on the second nine I recall myself accidently stepping on his golfball. Then we took so long finishing a par 5 a few holes later I completely forgot I hit my tee shot OB and had to take stroke and distance. Yeah I made a 6 oops make that a 8 thanks for reminding me wanker. Seriously I've been paired up with my share of weirdos but nothing too bad. The guy that talked all the time on the tee box. The guys that cheat and think they are playing seriously.

Some time ago at my home course I was paired up with "Mr. Meticilous". He moved like a cyborg in setting up at address, and used his club brush and towel on his irons after every shot. Not just cleaning the grooves, but restoring to like new condition. Every single shot. No exceptions. Really strange. Then he put his iron covers back on.

Anyone thats ever been to any of the Chicago FGI outings years ago knows this guy - Pars4me was his moniker. He was a perfectionist, yet could never attain anything close. Yet that never stopped him from being absolutely beside himself with every miss, no matter how small. Now beside himself is a PC term for 'complete out of his tree, vulgar tirade, self-abusive rants'. This guy would launch into vulgarity the moment the ball didn't follow his exact instructions. People on the course would look at us in disgust - I was embarassed beyond belief. And the self-abusive? Yes, he would actually hit himself! On several occasions he pounded his fist into his own leg while driving to the ball (and cussing). VERY stressful day for me. Justin got me drunk and a dance with some hooters girls afterwards to make up for it Funny thing is, he was very supportive of other players in the group. He did stop cussing when it was time for us to hit and always gave words of encouragement. If only he could apply such tact to himself
