a bunch of first graders about to embark on a field trip. Don’t do this, don’t do this, don’t do this…. Many of these guys act like you’ve never been on a golf course. 3. Bad Beverage Cart Service When my game is going down the dumper and the golf gods are against me, I occasionally need a sports drink or some swing oil (beer or a wee nip will do). I’ve had too many rounds where I see the concession cart on the front nine and then they never show up again when I really need some refreshment. I don’t know if it’s a logistics thing, understaffing, laziness or what, but it happens all too frequently. 4. Inconsiderate Course Maintenance Guys You’ve got a great round going and then “mower guy” shows up during your backswing and poof…. there goes your tee ball into the trees. Show some consideration “mower guy” and park up on that nearby hill while I’m swinging. 5. Aerated Greens I love how many courses neglect to tell you about their aerated greens. There’s nothing quite like playing 18 holes of bumpy and goofy putts. Then, they have the gall to charge you full-price for a less than perfect product. 6. Limited Signage Is there anything worse than driving around aimlessly trying to find the next hole on a long and winding course. Hey course designers and owners, if you’re going to put a few city blocks between greens and tees at least give us some easy-toread signage. I’ve been on too many courses where the tiny signs are a joke, and you end up with an unwanted tour of the course. I would rather not end up like Jordan Spieth and play the wrong tees.
