Things you are tired of hearing on a course....or never wanna hear!

[bigjon318]

Played a round with a good friend today, and joined up with a couple of younger (early 20's) guys that thought they were a lot better than they really were. All round long, they kept saying the same thing, over and over and over...got me thinking.

What are the things you folks wish you'd stop hearing on a course?

Early nomination: "Oh, that was a perfect shot....if that tree wasn't there...."

 

[Huk Finn]

"I'm playing so bad today!"

"I left my good driver at home."

"These baskets suck"

"Got another beer brah?"

 

[mashnut]

"Man, I always birdie that hole"

 

[shirfan]

"Dude, I eagled this hole yesterday" (on a par 3 course)

"Got any weed?" "Wanna buy some weed?" (No, and no.)

Ringing cell phones.

"Nice, what'd you just throw, man?" "A gazelle". "A what? I use a Boss here!" THWACK! (Actually, I'll probably never tire of this)

Crows. We know there's a turkey or a hawk up there, STFU already.

The 4 worst words to hear, "you are STILL away."

 

[vonDrehle]

I have playing with people that recently had a good round on the course you are playing because you will get a play by play of their last round.

"Nice, what'd you just throw, man?" "A gazelle". "A what? I use a Boss here!" THWACK! (Actually, I'll probably never tire of this)

It's even better when you just threw an aviar and parked the hole, and the guy is trying to convince you that a boss is the best disc for the hole (and for every hole).

Truckers on the highway running by the course hitting their jake brake. (Always when I'm trying to putt for some reason).

I also tire of the gunshots from the firing range across the highway.

"What's that disc you just threw? Oh, it's 'Discrap'! Ha ha." They usually pipe down after the first couple of holes.

 

[dirtydmix]

"Now thats not what i meant it to do."

and what i heard today after hitting a basket on my first throw of the day, "I would give you props if it wasn't so windy today." He thought i didnt play the wind with my leopard...

But what about your missed putts and inaccurate drives?

last time my roller worked
i didn't see that branch
the wind picked up for my drive/putt WTF!

The worst has to be complaints about how the basket doesn't catch very well when you know very well they just threw a bad putt (high/wide/etc). True unlucky spit-outs are relatively rare. Don't blame the basket, JUST PUTT BETTER NEXT TIME.

 

[El Oso Peligroso]

"you should've thrown a ____." listen, I know what my discs do. maybe my throw didn't end up exactly like I wanted it to but it's not the disc's fault (well, unless it's really understable into a headwind or something like that). throwing a ____ doesn't magically yield a good shot everytime.

"you gotta put more snap on it." yes, I realize that's pretty much the entire point of distance drives, but hey, it doesn't happen every time and I'm obviously trying to put more snap on it, thank you.

"I aced hole ## a few weeks ago." fantastic. wait isn't that one the 500 footer around a blind curve? how come I'm beating you then?

 

[Disc Dog]

"I must be off my game today I usually throw 400 feet" (after just throwing for all he is worth and getting maybe 275).

"I've been throwing birdies here for weeks" (after a double bogey).

Aviars rule! Take that newbie! I feel you bro!

I was too busy packing my Dual Pack with new plastic that I forgot my cool trucker hat and the sun got in my eyes that made me trip over my new Huk sit and drop my Huk-brella then I saw that my Gore Tex Salomons didn't match my Under Armour shirt and went to wipe a snot bubble on my sweat band and snagged it on my hemp necklace so that kinda messed up my flow and I can't play good when I'm not feelin' it so now I'm just gonna smoke a bowl and chill.

This thread is great, and I apologize for anything I may have said on the course. Know that I am not listening to you talk about your DG game but I would love to talk with you about life.

As far as what I never want to hear...

"You want to play for cash and make the round interesting?"
- I play tournaments when I want to do that!

Any reference to drugs or alcohol for me is a bad thing, just saying.

I watched Paul Ulibarri make a complaint like this in a final 9 at this years Colorado States after he missed a putt. He said something like, "That hit dead center."

"I'm going to play this round without weed"
5 bad holes later
"Do you smoke?"
me: "No"
