I play two nine hole leagues and one 18 hole league. I thoroughly enjoy all. So I'm a "both" guy.

People who don't fix ball marks or fill divots, especially those ball marks that are so vertical that the ball couldn't have wound up more than a foot away or those who take two practice divots and then a ball strike divot and leave all three there like trenches in the earth.

That's awesome to hear! Hopefully find a lot more like him in the future!

My pet peeve is just impoliteness, really. One experience of impoliteness I’ve had was a guy landing a ball 20 feet behind me while I was on the green, because he was impatient and didn’t think he’d land the ball near me. It was a par 3 hole.
One guy joined us at the first tee. He walked, we drove. He asked if it was okay that he smoked his cigar while we played. He offered to share his cigars. He fixed his divots, his ball marks. He was friendly, encouraging and respectful. He’s my role model on the course. 
 

Hello,
My name is Louis Dunnigan, I'm from upstate Ny in a town called Watertown Ny. Thank you for allowing me to be a member here. I have a 10 handicap for 18. I'm a 22 year disabled veteran of 22 years. With many wounds like cancer, PTSD, and other things.  Golf has allowed me to stay focused on and in life . Thanks to my family,  God and to my true friends who I play golf with.

Your playing partner saying “gotta hit it” when you leave a putt short…

We have morons who play the course I play 5 days a week who think it's OK after you miss a putt to slam your putter into the green and take a big chunk out of it. One time the group ahead of us had 3 adults and one young kid, the second time I saw him tear up the green with his putter I drove up to the green and told one of the adults if he does it again I am kicking your ass first and he's next. It didn't happen again. 

Slow play and sandbaggers. 

Not only is my pet peeve slow play, but slow play because some are totally oblivious or simply do not care that they are impacting the enjoyment of the game by others following them on the course. I find I am unable to play well because of the constant interruption of the flow of the game. I really enjoy the social aspect of the game but I even more so enjoy playing well. I suppose I should learn? how to take advantage of the extra time I am on the course, but I find my group's conversation tends toward complaining about the speed of play. And in the end, none of us play very well.

Amen, brother!
Another pet peeve of mine is the inconsiderate golfers that want to start on the back nine because the front is busy.  Our pro shop says sure if nobody is coming up hole #9.  All they care about are green fees and cart rentals.  I play early to avoid the crowds and then I make the turn and have groups in front of me.  
One more, the inconsiderate golfers that force me to listen to their music.
