Why do I hate you? (The truth behind the end of the game.)

[John Kavanaugh]

Sadly, I must say, I hate most people who golf and wish I didn't. What do you do that makes you hateable?  What do architects do that make them hateable too?

As an example, I play far to slow given that we putt every single putt out to fruition. Not to mention I look horrible in shorts. I would hate me.

I don't hate you.  I had quite the time playing with you at Victoria.  And you seemed shocked to know that I knew you had a parent that went to Georgetown.

 

[Brett_Morrissy]

JK, agree, I do hate you, never did understand the use of the term "people who golf" and even if I did (understand), I hate it anyway. 
Unfortunately though, I do like you for putting out, I hate people that don't, as it is against the rules of golf.

[Carl Rogers]

Hating someone you do not know is not very healthy.
Isn't this an O/T thread?

[John Kavanaugh]

It is not OT because I hate whomever restored the bunkers at Cypress pretending they looked like MacKenzie when they are generic Fazio.

[Terry Lavin]

But you profess to love the same desecration at The Riv. That's but one reason to hate you.

You nailed that one. If you hate the whore in LA you may find yourself on an island. I never felt alone there.

I have a few friends that still wear loudmouth gear. Really?!?

What do you do that makes you hateable?  What do architects do that make them hateable too?

Its not what we do, rather your need to judge  courses, behavior etc.

That hurts considering I like everything about you that I have ever read or experienced.  The comp at Erin Hills and my belief that you earned your play at Shadow Creek not withstanding.  You know, I'm not proud of the fact that I give golfers who hit the ball more solid than me pass. I know that it does not make them better people but somehow harder to hate.

Well, then, logic would dictate that you hate us because you really hate yourself.

[Bill_McBride]

When did the noun "golf" become a verb?  I really hate that.....

[Ross Harmon]

I hate that I played Victoria and didn't get to meet you. Thought you were part of the standard welcoming committee there? Surprised your name isn't right below Fazio's on the guest bag tag.

Thank you for putting myself in such esteemed company.

That was probably apparent 10,000 posts ago.

The other evening I went to the range to hit balls to avoid going home before I was served dinner. I picked the spot at the very end assuring myself of at least having no one behind me. A nice fellow soon arrived and chose to pick the area contiguous to mine. I almost didn't hate him until he got the sniffles. Hit, sniff, hit, sniff, sniff hit, hit, sniff.  It can't be a coincidence that this stuff only happens to me.

[Mac Plumart]

Hate is a pretty strong word.  Rather I'd say I lose a lot of respect for people who throw clubs, smash things with their clubs, curse loudly and frequently...all because they can't or don't hit the golf shots they want to.

Cornering things architects do that make me "hate" them...

Penal for penal sake;
Too much water;
Too much contour on small greens;


Maintenance practices I "hate"...

Too much stimp for the contours;
Too wet;
Watered and lush rough/native/gunch/junk/3rd cut

Was not meant to hurt, thought you were asking a serous question.
I see now just another insightful stroll into examining how people are, with you/golf as the backdrop.

Is 'Curb your Enthusiasm' a show you like?

[Mark Steffey]

I have a few friends that still wear loudmouth gear. Really?!? 

i stopped wearing mine once daly jumped on board.  the same reasoning has me no loner wearing my 5 hour energy hat.

[Mike Sweeney]

What do you do that makes you hateable? 

1. My course is better than your course.

2. I taught you how to cut the line at Shake Shack, and this is upsetting to you as a Midwest goober.

3. You don't know what squash is.

4. I have played Pine Valley and National.

5. I have juice at Merion.

6. Doak and I have a bond through our Cornell connection and you have actually met him, belong to one of his clubs, and yet he still likes me more.

7. I have actually played with Pat Mucci.

8. I took you to Eagle Creek rather than Mountain Lake.

9. I payed retail for Book of Mormon.

10. I have a higher Klout score than Gillette Silver.

 

[Will Lozier]

You'd might "hate" me because:

1) I have a thick red beard like Yukon Cornelius and I'll hit the ball better than you.  
2) I'll hit 12 greens, three-jack from 10 feet three times, and shoot 79...and you'll think "what a shame".  
3) I "hate" golfers who check where their club is at the top of their swing at any time during a round...and you probably do!  

John, don't be such a Monti at the range...although I'd have been selfishly and ridiculously pissed too, tempted to accidentally shank one!

Mac, I've played with you, understand there's no way you can answer the question posed   and agree with all of your architectural/maintenance "hates".

Cheers

Can't stand it.

is it because I'm pretentious?

[Sean_A]

I hate this thread, but Barny is about 50-50 with these things so I don't hate him.
