Snapping fingers when you've smashed a putt is the worst rising habit

[Yellow Jacket]

First of all, you've already hit your putt too hard and whatever gesticulations you make aren't going to slow it down. But when you repeatedly make a sharp loud sound, it's incredibly annoying, and you clearly only started doing it because you're picking up all of Jordan Spieth's bad habits. It makes me legit angry.

[Conrad1953]

Just make a list of things you don't like and hand it out at the 1st tee.

Sounds like you lead a sad existence

Why do so many people try to find so many reasons to be "legit" outraged? Be happy you're healthy and have the means to enjoy a sport we all love.

I agree.

 

Because we re in the period of being "me first". The legacy of Baby Boomers and the decades of the new generations whom never knew the real hardship in life. It is exhibited in everyday life on the freeway, on political front , in the media and unfortunately the violence we're experiencing in places where we had never had.

[LeftyLuck]

I am going to create a thread where people can vent so where can stop creating these useless threads.

[golfgirlrobin]

Shoot, I saw snapping and was hoping we were going to rag on Chesson Hadley, again.

Must be a lot of finger snappers in this thread :lol:

If anything, snapping your fingers is the “me first” behavior. It’s distracting and inconsiderate of your fellow players.

 

And just to be clear, it’s Baby Boomers who caused this ruinous state of things. Participation trophies, for example, exist because Baby Boomers wanted something to give their underachieving kids because “my kid is special!” Most people who received participation trophies are a bit embarrassed about them and never wanted them in the first place.

[jakenlson0311]

People who use the word "Legit"....fml.......see no one cares. There are too many problems in this world to care about finger snapping, club twirling, excessive practice swings, guys claiming to hit it 300 and then hit it 270. Not trying to be condescending just saying once you go down this rabbit hole of paying attention to others, where does it leave room for your own game.

[caniac6]

I've never seen anyone do this.

Who do you play with... ?

I thought Hadley snapped his fingers when he made a putt. I've never seen the opposite. I have seen playing partners fall to the ground and foam at the mouth after hammering a putt way long. Much more amusing than a finger snap.

[ThunderBuzzworth]

I don’t know what else to say about this. OH SNAP!

[Bbo569]

Fist pumps

[Hawkeye77]

Honestly didn't know this was a thing - better start thinking of all the kids watching and just keep swearing and not snap my fingers.

 

I really don't think I ever do snap my fingers now that I think about it.

 

I clear my throat in a disgusting way according to my wife. I'll do that and spit in the cup.

[sailfishchris]

 

my favorite finger snapping of all time

[Qqq123xx]

First tee snappin' and slappin' and scratchin' just royally p'ss me off.

[kujosit]

I've not played with anyone that snapped their fingers....rather they wave their hand, palm down, to slow the ball.

If all "me first" behaviors make you this upset, da udder guy was right. You must be upset all the time.

 

But just to be clear, "Baby Boomers" are grandfathers and great grandfathers by now. Their underachieving kids are far beyond receiving "participation trophies". PTs are a fairly recent phenomenon. Possibly you meant "millennials".

 

And if snapping fingers for the few seconds a guy's putt is rolling bothers you, how do you feel when they "shout" "Get in the hole" ? Or "Go. Go" ? Or "Get legs" ? Or, or, or,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

That's too funny. I'm very tail end of the baby boomers and the wife just slots into Gen X. She gives me a lot of flak, bit now I get to tell her that her generation is responsible for the milienials.

[LeoLeo99]

Just be lucky they break out the Zorro snap.

 

 

The two snaps a twist and a kiss might legit send someone to the nut house.

You are way off on what generations want participation trophies.

Drives me crazy when I see people give a little smile when the ball goes in the hole.

 

How dare they!!

[sdandrea]

How about instead of snapping my fingers when I hole one out, I look up and say "any questions?" or "how do you like me now?" ?
