Asked On Reddit: What Golf Trend Can’t You Stand?

We all love golf around here but that doesn’t mean we can’t complain about it.

A Reddit user recently posed a simple question: What is a golf trend you can’t stand?

And, boy, are there some golf trends a lot of us can’t stand. Here are the top answers on that thread.

Playing music way too loudly on the course

The most offered answer had to do with playing music on the course.

While some users conceded that music was acceptable if played at a reasonable volume, a large swath of golfers are fed up with music in general.

Hit The Wrong Golf Green? This Is Your Only Option

The first hole and the 10 hole at my home golf course run parallel to each other. Not that it would be a good shot if your approach on 10 landed on the first green but it’s theoretically possible. Many golf courses have parallel holes or compact layouts. Landing your ball on the wrong green may happen to you. Here’s what to do if you hit the wrong green.

What to do if your golf ball is on the wrong green?

Under Rule 13.1f, if your ball comes to rest on a wrong green or if the wrong green interferes with your stance or swing, you must take free relief. While your golf ball may have the perfect lie on this green, you are still required to take relief. Playing from the wrong green is not allowed.

What counts as interference?

Relief is required when:

Your ball is physically on the wrong green.The wrong green interferes with your stance or area of intended swing.

You are not entitled to relief just because the green is near your line of play. You also can’t take relief just because you’d prefer to avoid a green. If interference exists only because you choose a club, stance or direction of play that is unreasonable under the circumstances, you can’t take relief.

Essentially, you can’t exploit the wrong green to your advantage, as it would be unfair.

Does Indoor Practice Work? One PGA Pro Put it To The Test

Golf simulators are fun, but let’s be honest, they’re a big investment. One of the best ways to justify that cost is by treating your simulator as more than just a toy. It’s a serious training tool. Whether it’s rainy, too hot or the middle of winter, a simulator gives you the chance to practice when the course doesn’t. For one PGA professional, that extra indoor grind didn’t just improve his game; it earned him a spot in the PGA Championship.

Who is Rupe Taylor?

Rupe Taylor is a 35-year-old PGA teaching professional based in Virginia Beach, Va. He runs “Play Better Now” out of the Virginia Beach National Golf Club where he spends most of his time helping others sharpen their game. When he finds time to work on his swing, it’s often indoors. He has a home simulator running Trackman software.

Taylor isn’t a household name but his story is a perfect example of what can happen when hard work meets modern technology. Despite a full lesson schedule and limited time to play, he’s turned his garage into a proving ground for elite performance.

His journey to the PGA Championship

To earn a spot in the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Taylor needed to finish inside the top 20 at the PGA Professional Championship.

He did just that, placing ninth with a two-under-par total over four rounds, good enough to punch his ticket to a major championship.
