Just light up a smoke and they'll leave you alone. All kidding aside I guess this is much more an issue for woman than for men. I haven't had this happen to me yet but my girlfriend has on several occasions. We were playing a round actually and a guy on the next hole over stated giving her advice when she was hitting her approach shot.

it does seem to happen more often to women then men. I am not sure why and I am sure most people mean well but it does start to get really annoying after a while. If nothing else it's a huge distraction and it starts to make you question your game even more if other people are noticing something wrong with your swing it makes, me at least, start to question just how bad I really am.

Now, put the shoe on the other foot. What do you think about new golfer, going up to another golfer who has a great swing, and asking the better golfer for some pointers?

I don't ever bother anyone while they are practicing. However, I have waited for someone to finish or step away for a break and then talked to them. (Not about golf instruction though. I have a pro for that.)

Same here, the only time I talk to someone at the range is to compliment them on a nice shot. Or my usually girly thing where I will let another lady know if I like her outfit, shoes, bag, etc...

I like Provisionals idea of asking them for money, that would screw them up.

GC - As a woman who is older than you and has been playing golf a lot longer, I can tell you that this will never end. Harry's suggestions have merit and will work, but the issue is that you have to handle each wannabe helper differently. Some will back away if you tell them you have an instructor or don't want to get confused with additional swing thoughts, but some will not and you may have to be more blunt or even rude. When this happens to me on the course or range - I start off politely, but don't always end the conversation that way. Strangers have tried to touch me too - I will make a joke that carries a warning that they can't miss.

You could carry one of these in your pocket and start squeezing it when they start talking to you:





(I love how they always put a musical note when insinuating fart noises. )

EDIT: It seems they even have a "ladies" version:

Product Description:
This small pink device can be squeezed to create "lady fart" sounds.

EDIT #2: Uhhhh, and apparently a French version:



EDIT #3:
Well, this post is completely out of control now, but I couldn't help myself when I was closing all the windows with the above products and saw this:



Point Break?

Pretty sad reallity, but I think Diane is right. Some of us guy's are pigs and need to be treated like pigs. Touching you or getting too close is simply out of line.
