What types of on-course behaviors drive you crazy? Not the behaviors of various pros (because that would just turn into an "I hate such-and-such [insert PGA pro]." Rather, the behaviors of people you have played with that make you mad, irritate you, or are so awful that you ensure that you'll never be paired with that person again? This could be enlightening. And who knows. Maybe people will describe things you do...
For me, I have two:
1. Slow players. I play fast. I don't care if you're a 30 hdcp or scratch, you don't need to line up your 4 ft putt from every angle, plum bob for 5 minutes, and then take 30 practice swings. Hit the d*mn ball.
2. Overly serious players. I get it. We all love golf and are trying to get better. But get over yourself. You're about to spend 4-5 hours walking around with people whom also love golf and are trying to get better. Smile once in awhile. Crack a joke. Drink a beer. The game should be fun, not a chore.
