Golf superstitions

[Dawgbite]

Do any of you guys have any golf quirks that are odd? I have to have three balls in my pocket, one to hit with two remaining. If I lose a ball I immediately get another from my bag. If I find a ball it can't go in my pocket, it's going in the bag or cart.

If I had three in my pocket, then I would have 5 on me.
Always kept one extra anyway.

I do that too, mainly just OCD though. No superstition.

My rule for golf. I suck. I know I suck. I don’t care. Once you get to that point, it’s a lot of fun. Shoot 120, it’s a good day.

Getting drunk while realizing that makes it even more funner

I can’t have anything in my pockets except for maybe a tee or coin. In my walking days a scorecard in my back pocket was okay.

keep score on each hole, but dont write a total until the end of the round...especially if I am playing well. And please do not say "man, you are playing good. what are you shooting?" with 3 holes remaining!

If I find a T, it’s automatically lucky by virtue of being free so it’s the only T I’ll use until I break or lose it.

Damn man. Got to at least break 100 (while keeping legit score).

Buddy and I were playing a par 3 course and walking it. I was several beers deep and unbeknownst to me I was like 5 under par going into 16. I’m not capable of shooting 5 over much less 5 under. Walking to 16 he mentioned my score, he was keeping score, and that’s all it took. I put five balls in the water over the last three holes.

Now, they always have tees in the cart. That used to not be the case so I was always searching on the first box for a tee, and there never seemed to be especially at State. Yet when you got to the 2nd tee which was a par 3 there would be several full tees. I never understood it.

I need to address it from the side cause I’m a draw player. I can’t walk up to it from behind the ball. It creates issues with target but I can’t address it from behind it

That's like when the announcer's say he's shooting 90% from the free throw line on the season. Immediately gonna farrrt a shot either golfer or basketball. Most of the time keep your thoughts to yourself!!

I carry 2 of my favorite balls (Vice Pro Air) in my right pocket with 3 tees and my pitch fork. 2 balls in my l left pocket. Depending on how I'm playing they are either balls for losing off the tee or softer for hitting into greens over water.

 

[GloryDawg]

I have no superstitions but I do aim left to hit it straight.

For all those that are carrying 3+ golf balls in their pockets....Cargo shorts should not be allowed on the golf course.

Seriously though, I don't see how yall do that. I have an extra ball in my pocket for the first tee (two off the first), and really cant stand the way it feels. I guess that's the thing about superstitions though, they don't have to make sense, they just have to work.

My brother would rather find a ball than hit a good shot. He’ll look for balls until you make him stop. We were playing a very nice course off season and I don’t think we saw another group besides our foursome the entire round. He slices one off the T that goes past the woods and over a little knoll on the right of the fairway. We go to our balls in the fairway and he goes over the knoll and in a few minutes he’s chunking balls back into the fairway. He hollers , “ y’all can’t believe the balls out here” so I walk up on top of the l
knoll to see. Dumbass is on the driving range and had never seen a range with Titleist balls. He had both pockets bulging and had probably chunked a dozen back into our fairway.

Agreed. I throw that 2nd off the first on the ground while I hit the first.

I'm not superstitious, maybe a little stitious, but not super.
