Here are some of my favorite superstitions: If you pull a tee out of the ground on a par three and it's a full (non-broken tee) that's bad luck. Any atypical animal seen on the course is good luck. Never let the ball touch the ground before you put it on the tee (if it falls off the tee or you drop it, use a different ball). If using a coin as a ball marker, use the same side up through the whole round. One of my favorites is from the superintendent at UMD who used to say if you are nice to the course it'll be nice to you (i.e., fix ball marks, clean up trash, etc). I do think it's a nice vibe.

Definitely! Agree with all of this!

I take the point that getting fitted is probably a bit over-rated. Not because they don't have benefits but because fitting is often talked about like it's an absolute necessity. Most people can play and enjoy golf without being fitted. That said, if you have a good fitter and can afford it, a fitting should help almost anyone. This is especially true for people who need longer/shorter clubs, grip size changes, lie angle adjustments (I think we all have that buddy who is 6'6" and plays off the rack clubs and struggles -- I've made a lot of money off my buddy like this until he got fitted! ) I do think the fitter really does make a huge difference.

Being forced to take a golf cart on a course that can be walked. I'll pay your @*#^ cart fee, but let me walk!

Hello all! Nice to meet you! How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I've been playing since I was a kid. 9.5 What do you love about golf? Walking, birdie juice, competition, making a long putt! What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Best golf related site around hands down! Where are you from? What is your home course? Toronto ON. I play Lakeview GC in Mississauga frequently. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? @yowMagur said above and I agree! "4-6 months of no golf are awful. The best part is the diversity of courses, and when the weather is good it's REAL GOOD." What do you do for a living? Professor How’d you pick your user name?

I think Weller 12 is better and more drinkable for a wide range of palates, personally.
