Golf Sucks

Seems to be fading given how many courses are closing and/or struggling.
Hitting over them usually gives them a good hint to get out the way. Had a group like that at the local 9 hole course. They had the whole 9 holes backed up behind them. We decided to hit over them as the kid the same age as me took his 35th practice swing. They let is threw after that
Title of the thread gets it right... golf sucks.
Some people play slowly. It's annoying. Hitting into a group is awful. Don't do that even if the group ahead sucks. You never should try to hit someone. Some courses police slow play better than others.
As a 6’4 215# big hitter, calm down Maybe you dorks should consider reading greens faster.

Most golf courses are empty. Used to play a lot but it is often frustrating, difficult, expensive, and time consuming. Just dont play much now.
I've never been the one slowing a course up, but if you intentionally hit over me I'm going to be teeing one up to hit right back at ya.
I work in Sales and I felt like I should learn to play golf to be able to go golfing with customers, etc. So, I took lessons, and started going out golfing occasionally with coworkers. Because I was a beginner, I wasn't any good. So, I was one of those guys that the OP hates - you know, because it takes a while to finish a hole when you suck. As a beginner, it is VERY frustrating to have course speed police telling you to hurry up - basically asking you to just skip ahead to the next hole. I did go to the driving range for practice, etc. but I never spent enough time to become decent. So my conclusion was that "Golf sucks" (like the title).
Last year, I started a new job, and my new boss LOVES golf. So, I'll probably be forced to try again. Last week, we were at a conference in Las Vegas and we were invited by one of the companies to TopGolf. I was planning to skip that and go to another event instead. My boss twisted my arm, so I went.
It was great - there is no issue with everyone having to play at the same speed. If you hit one really bad ball, it doesn't kill you - you can make it up if you hit a great shot the next time.
I actually think it is a much better game than "real" golf. I'm planning to go again this week.

It's the devil's game......
I don't need an excuse to smoke a cigar, drink beers, cuss, and piss outside.
Top Golf provides all of the fun parts of golf and takes out the rest. The ratio at TG is also always way better then at a real golf course, which is a bonus for me. (Golf courses are sausage fests)
There are a lot of bad golfers in this thread.
A group finishes, goes for some post-round brews, and proclaims a "great day, didn't see anybody ahead of us".
That is because they fell behind and are so clueless they don't realize it. Or know the rest of the players backing up behind them and are getting more and more pissed off.
Idiots.

The courses I've played in the last few years aren't that busy (except for best ball tournaments). I've played mainly Indianola area courses plus Blank and Bos Landen.
It got better on the back. Letting groups play 9 in the middle of the day is both a blessing and a curse.
