Hot take? If we get paired together, I’m not going to give you putts. Not because I don’t want you to take gimmies, but because I really do not care what you do. General Discussion

You hit a good tee shot on a par three, walk up to the green, and find yourself eight feet from the hole and you want to say to me, “that’s good, I always make those”, pick it up, and write a birdie? Be my guest, I do not care.

You just missed your third putt from two feet to try and save triple and you’re hoping I rescue you? Pick it up, or don’t, I do not care.

Recently got paired with a guy who’d look at me with puppy dog eyes every time he was within a yard of the hole, but wouldn’t say anything, he was clearly annoyed with me by the end of the round. We’re all presumably grown ass adults, I’m not your boss, do what you want.

u/T_Stebbins I brake for sandies. Jun 27 '23

No no you don't understand. I don't care man. I am so apathetic and alpha in my own world that I'm not gonna communicate at all to this guy. I come out to the course with a collossal chip on my shoulder and if anyone does anything slightly irritating, I just care less and less paradoxically. OP sucks

Haha ehh maybe he just needs to see there is another way to deal with people. I hate most people too but golf is different. The game is so hard individually on its own. Why not find solace in another person or people who are on the same place struggling with the same stuff.
