Stereotypes

How many do you know?
Which one are you?

If (cough cough)any I'd be the mood swing guy- the fella I hate most- ball hunter. Do it on your own time mate, I'm here for the golf.

I'm probably the over-estimator, and my dad is the tee box talker!

I'm "Loses everything guy" mostly, but I think I've been all of them at some stage

Glad you like the video.

I'm a little bit of "mood swing guy"........if I'm playing poorly then just don't talk to me. However I know a guy who is just like the Mood Swing guy in the video and I hate playing with him. He duffs the ball three times then the clubs get thrown and the swearing starts.....he shouts at the top of his voice and just sounds like a spoilt kid. Then if he holes a chip he's running round the course with his arms out like an aeroplane.

They have left me out of the video....."The Under-estimator" or maybe "Mr Impatient". If somebody has hit their 2nd shot to the green and has walked on 20 yards then I hit my tee-shot. I then go "**** that's pitched past them!".

Great video, but they missed out one very important stereotype... the I-Know-Everything guy.

I played with a guy who had taken up the game only two years before, had a handicap of 24 (I was off 6) and proceeded to tell me what I was doing wrong on every single shot. You're swinging too fast, your wrists are too tight, you're moving your legs... you're going to get an iron shoved up your arse if you don't belt up.

I think I hurt his feelings at the end of the round when I didn't thank him for his terrific insights.

Think they also missed the lad who talks the group through his upcoming shot "ok, so i'm gonna draw this nicely over the top of them trees and use the slope at the back of the green to feed the ball down to the hole". Never works out that way.

They're also missed the lad who replaces his divot only when the shot is to his liking.

And last but not least there is the guy that has been watching the PGA tour too much and uses the excuse "Mudball" to any shot that he hits a bit fat.

Or the guy who always leaves his bag in the wrong place, and has to play most of the round trotting after his playing partners having collected his bag.

That you didn't say something to him during the round is a testament to your composure and patience, I would have had to say something to shut him up. Probably with one of those smiles you don't get quite right, so it betrays your inner feelings when trying to sound patient and decent.

Best tactic is to remind him that giving advice is against the rules.


Me, I used to be
Mr Excuses, Mr Overestimater & Mr Moodswing

but I'm turning into
The Old Guy, Mr Rules Enforcer & The Rage Guy

Enjoyable video !

They forgot to add in the following:

The 'We've lost ground on the group ahead' guy...who is obsessed with playing a round in less than 3 1/2 hours.:mad:

The 'Not your best' guy...who insists on commenting on any poor shot you make.:mad:

The 'Course Commentator' guy...who comments on everything and won't shut the f*** up.:mad:

The 'What do you work at yourself' guy...obsessed with finding out your occupation.

The 'Look at the state of the course' guy...moan, moan, moan. :rolleyes:

The 'I thought it would break the other way' guy...who is usually a sh1t putter.

There are lots more I'm sure.

I'm a bit of "that's playable guy" and a bit of "the borrower" (only pens/pencils but oh, so often. Why do I never just put the pencil in my bag at the end of the round.)

Oh and sometimes I'm "the shadow guy", but only if it's a casual game with a particular friend and I know it'll wind him up (only a little bit though). He tries to get me back but I don't even notice the shadows.

Where he gets me back is as a "tee box talker" or rather whisperer. I wouldn't mind if he was talking but the whispering get's me wondering what he saying. :mad::D

The "Great Shot"guy needs to be added.

I was awful bad at this when I started, mainly due to the fact that any shot from my playing partners... anything that went 30+yards and straight... was indeed a great shot!

The Great Shot guy never actually gives enough time to see where the ball is going, "great shot" is generally said a millisecond after impact...which is about 4 seconds before you realise that ball isn't going to draw and it's been pushed right into the trees.
