True life AITH incident from this weekend
- Thread starter torbee
- Start date
Can you imagine effing up that drive to the tune of a 50 foot dribbler?
you are a pussy for not kicking the shit out of that guy.
Both of you.
1. Them for playing practice putting while your group is waiting.
2. You for blaming them on your bad shank shot.

Believe me, that thought crossed my mind!!!!
While they were being douches fvcking around while they should have known you were waiting on them. I find it comical that you shanked your next shot and blamed it on them.
I’ve never understood why golfers can’t take a little heat and why you always have to be hush hush. Also it appears they were waiting for you so you could play through.
So I’ll say you and the group in front of you were douchers but I think you take the cake as the top douche.

I feel like that is @Whiskeydeltadeltatango behavior. Adjust accordingly.

Probably a fair assesment.
That said, I still maintain the long delay and jackassery on the green directly impacted my shot. It screwed up my ability to focus and disrupted my rhythm. Now, it's fair to say that shouldn't negatively impact a good golfer, but I have admitted I am NOT a good golfer. I'm a streaky, inconsistent golfer - so when I'm going good and in a rhythm, any disruption will screw me up - which is what occurred here.
I am defintely guilty of overreaction though.

Good way to end up with an embarrassing mugshot in the local paper.
he'd post his own mugshawty wouldja.
You were playing in Monmouth. Your expectations were too high.
I prefer the tried and true insult of "Does your husband play golf?" after one of your buddy's leaves an easy putt short.
Or when a buddy is pissing behind a tree you must yell "don't fall over, you aint holding onto much!"
Or "shaking hands with the unemployed again?"
**to answer OP, yeah it was kind of a dick move on your part. What I like to do in that situation is (assuming your group you are playing in is just out there to have fun) is putt & get done on the green as fast as you can and be liberal with the gimmies so then you can roll right up onto them on the next tee box while they are still there f*cking around and and give them the death stare to let you play through.
I’d say you’re extremely lucky you didn’t get your candy ass kicked until you were mumbling like biden!
Yeah, you lost your cool and were mad and frustrated by their slow play which nobody can ever say for sure, including you, was the real reason you shanked the second shot. It’s ok though Judy, it happens to the best of us.
I’m not a good golfer but I at least have fun while playing. It’s too bad it doesn’t seem like you enjoy it even if you are on a good streak because you seem to be worrying about anything disrupting your streak.
I’m sure you’d not be a fan of me golfing because I’d be holding you up. Granted when someone is on my ass I’m not messing around going back redoing every missed putt and will let them play through once I finish the whole. But I will say golfing isn’t as enjoyable for me either if someone is on my heels and I have to rush.
I would also like to add that I have no idea what AITH means. If you meant AM I The Asshole Here, you are not only a bad golfer, but a bad speller to boot.
Or maybe you meant this:
In which case I have no idea WTF you're getting at. 🤷♂️
Or maybe you meant this:
Aithe
Aithe, meaning a sub femboy with a obsession towards his love interest.In which case I have no idea WTF you're getting at. 🤷♂️
My 7 iron is my 190 club bro, I'm looking at an easy 9 from 155 out.
They are being dumb and I agree with the guy in front me that said the best thing you can do is play quickly and get in their ass on the next tee box.
I'm also one to not shy away from playing into someone a little bit when needed.

Acronymer?I effed up the acronym I guess. That's not spelling, though
I think you are in the right for being pissed. They should know not to take that long especially when someone is obviously waiting behind them.

But I elected to take the low road instead of the high road. Lesson learned.
Not the aysehole.
Public golf sucks nowadays because courses schedule tee times too close together, causing everyone to back up which, in this case, was exacerbated by the jackasses lollygagging around and not being courteous to the group behind them. Screw 'em.

Sometimes the pros have to wait on those ahead on the PGA tour. You need to be patient.
That said, after the second practice put I would have launch my approach shot at their asses.
Of course you toed/shanked yours into the woods so they may not have even noticed.

OP isn't an asshole, but seems like a bit of a pussy. I have little tolerance for slow play, but none when it comes to jacking around on the green after you've finished. I would have approached them personally and not yelled at them, that's dumb and doesn't help anything.
What’s the name of the Monmouth course, torbee? Played a lot of west central Illinois courses back in the day…..In Galesburg, Macomb, Blandingsberg and a few others…..old age prevents me from recalling the Monmouth courses name………..

Gibson Woods.
Interesting little course. Pretty short, but loads of dog legs and pretty tight with mature trees.
Sure you got mad and let it rage a bit. Whatever. I hate slow play, too. And whenever I've been in a group that is not keeping pace, I really get on the others to play ready golf and get moving, probably to the point of being annoying. But the things these guys were doing are not cool for a beautiful weekend day with a full tee sheet. If it was a Wednesday afternoon and the place was dead? Go wild. Do your thing. But know your surroundings and be mindful of pace of play. You can have a money game and still not be a burden to the groups behind you.
CSB: When I played Hazeltine a few years ago, we got to the first tee and the starter said "We have one rule: Play this round in four hours." Our group was walking that day (two carrying, two push carts), and he said the guys with push carts should walk on the green with them if it will save time, which was insane to me, but I appreciated the emphasis placed on pace. Also: Larry Fitzgerald and Rich Gannon were in the group in front of us.
Yep…that’s it! Thanks for the jolt…………slow play is the Bain of public golf courses on the weekend……my Sunday’s at Waveland constantly remind me!
I'm really not trying to pigeon hole you into one character foe the rest of your existence but when I saw you had replied there was a small part of me hoping Torbee was going to get the Sprite treatment.
Don't try to pin this on me mister.
You are not good enough to get worked up the way you did. You are the a-hole.
