Unacceptable Golf Etiquette Breach

What is the one golf etiquette breach that you think is completely unacceptable? This is a very easy question for me to answer. I do not get excited over a lot of etiquette issues. In fact, if someone does not fix a ball mark, I simply fix it before I exit the green and move on. As long as it gets repaired, I’m not concerned. However, one behavior I find completely unacceptable is spitting. It’s disgusting and the golf course is absolutely not the place for it. I am not interested in serving as the self-appointed sheriff of Etiquetteville, but, if a person spits on the golf course, I am willing to pin a badge on my polo shirt. When the cameras show PGA players spitting on the golf course, I wish they would literally stop play and make the player clean it up. A fine would also be appropriate. Who wants to follow a spitter around the golf course? Nasty!
