I say 'when you get a spot on the tour then come back and I might listen. Until then keep it to yourself' My game, my swing.

I played a game today and was joined by an older gentleman who was a member at the course. Nice guy. Easy going.
After a couple holes he started to give me his unsolicited tips. From putting to the full swing he told me how to play shots.
Now after a couple of holes I mentioned that I have a fantastic instructor who has me working on key things but this guy never stopped giving me advice.
Now after 9 holes it's affecting my game and really taking the pleasure out of it for me.
Not wanting to be rude I simply smile and nodded but I really just wanted to yell "shut the f#%k up".
I've been guilty of slightly doing this in the past but I now only offer when asked.
I never want to be that guy. Are you that guy? How should I have handled that guy?
If you can't fart on command, I'd start complimenting every shot he makes, and express verbal emotion for all of his bad shots. ("damn, you got robbed, that was a bad lie, looks like the wind got that one, etc...)
In between shots, talk incessantly about the weather or some other off the wall topic. Say "ya know what I mean?" Say it alot.
I was paired with that guy a few rounds ago. I sliced the ball off the first tee, it happens. He started telling me swing out to first base and bla bla bla. then he steps up and hits it 175 yards hooked into the left bushes. We play out the next two holes with me 1 under and him 3 over second was a par 3 I played a fade off the tee he said make sure you swing out that would have gone straighter. Next hole par 4 i pull out the driver and he says remember what I said and you will be fixxed. I shut the face down and hit the nastiest duck hook waffle house (smothered and covered) swing I can. I looked up and him and said, "great now I have your swing, thats the last thing I want you what 3 over threw 2" my buddies died laughing and he left the tee box all pissed but he did not say another bit of advice all day.
