Re: Game Wreckers

Can't stand the mis-hits that never leave the ground, also referred to as "worm-burners"

I don't mind hitting a high long shot that fades off course before it lands. Even the occasional line drive is ok with me. However, I hate hitting "ground balls."

Re: Game Wreckers

The biggest game wrecker in golf is metal woods. J/K.

I've often heard it said that the thing that wrecked golf the most was the scorecard.

Now to answer the rest of the questions.

My round goes to pieces when I've been hitting the ball well all day, but then the dreaded slice appears with a vengence.

The worst thing I do is sway sometimes when I'm tired - and forget to sway back, taking 3" of dirt before the ball.

Re: Game Wreckers

What is the biggest game wrecker in golf ?????????

courses allowing people on the course with power carts and then feeding them 15 beer a piece.

What thing do you do that can make your round collapse?????????

3 putting on an easy green - usually only have one 3 putt per round, but it hurts every time and it isn't on the 60 foot, twp tiered, triple breakers. I end up doing on the 25 foot downhill putt. I forget I'm downhill and make sure I give myself a chance for birdie and I blow it 10 feet past.

What is the worse thing that can happen to you?????????

plowing a drive into the trees after waiting 15 minutes on the tee for the group infront to get out of my range.

What breaks you down when you play???????????

I have the biggest pet peeve about slow play. It completely screws my round.

Re: Game Wreckers

Hitting the best drive you ever had right down the middle of the fairway into the gully, getting down to where it should be and the @@@@ coming up the the other fairway who has hit into your fairway finds your balata ball and hits that and leaves his ****py ti ball.

Re: Game Wreckers

Totally agree with Gord.

Game wrecker? Chasing longer hitters

My game collapses when I hit a bad drive and believe I can still make birdie from these trees walk off with a double bogey and play catch up the rest of the round.

Re: Game Wreckers

Getting ready to hit a shot and you playing partner's cell phone starts ringing as you swing. Not only can you snuff a shot or drive I tend to hold it against the other guy the rest of the round ruining the fun of the game.

Re: Game Wreckers

What is the biggest game wrecker in golf ?????????
Golfers who try to fix problems mid-round. Bad course management and lack of imagination and thought being put into shots they play.

What thing do you do that can make your round collapse?????????
A few bogeys after each other without any birdies. I start to panic ...

What is the worse thing that can happen to you?????????
A bad decision in my course management.

What breaks you down when you play???????????
A bad decision in my course management I can't forget.


I have a very bad habit ... I play very well in competition and not very well in social games with friends. It sometimes happens when I do corporate days or golf clinics too and it p's me off big time.

To be honest, I don't like playing social golf ... it's too 'flat' for me ... another game wrecker. So I have to create something to make myself play well and get my golf brain into gear.
