Old Golfers Reason for annoyance:"Miserable old git! ... you're not going to encourage young golfers with an attitude like that!" by Ian About Old Golfers:Okay some background first. I've recently started playing golf, I am not very good but hey we've all got to start somewhere. I pay money to go round the course same as the miserable bloke and let's face it the courses I play on a small, cheap 9 holers. Not St Bleeding Andrews. So, tell me this. Why is there always a grumpy old bastard playing in the group behind me nagging to us to tea off when the people in front of us are still on the fairway and old bastard is still putting on the hole behind us? ... Concentrate on your own game! I would imagine that if I was much better I'd either wrap my driver around his neck and tell him to shut the f*ck up or I wouldn't be playing there as the course is a bit lame. But, as mentioned, I am a beginner so instead it annoys me that he's shouted across and my annoyance makes my tee-shot even worse. Now for some facts. There are more clubs with space for new members than ever before. The number of available spaces, even at good clubs is increasing every year and I know why. Young people who are interested in starting out are intimidated by stupid miserable coffin dodging w*nkers who have been playing for 7,000 years and are still, let's be honest, a bit shit. The game is a great game but it has a reputation for been a bit snooty. This on it's own will put youngsters off, so add grumpy old men in to the equation and they ain't gunna come and play. Final thought: "Grumpy bastard, cheer up and embrace to youngsters so we can all enjoy what should be a great game"
End. FACT: Old Golfers are more irritating than Sky but less irritating than Fuel Tax You may also find Synchronised Diving and The Boat Race irritating.
