or plug the ball in the turf a foot in front of the tee.

No joke, I once swung so hard right over the top of the ball that it went straight into the ground, bounced 10' straight backwards, and had so much spin that it shot back up about 5' in front of the tee.  My buddy says "only the great Jason Bonesteel can hit a ball backwards and gain positive distance".

If your ball leaves a trench in front of the tee on it's way off the tee box.

You have back to back rounds of 76 - 93

You 4-putt for bogey

You play ping pong with yourself from one greenside bunker to the greenside bunker on the other side of the green

Your divot goes farther than the ball

It takes you 3 chips to get on the green from 30yds

 

Those are just all from this year that I could remember in a few minutes

You might be a hack if.... You think that the 4th shiny new driver you've purchased this year is going to solve your distance/accuracy issues off of the tee.

You might be a hack if you post a 42 in men's league with two snowmen and no lost balls.   That's what I did last week.

 

(Plus I had TWO SHANKS in that nine!   One was out of the gorse, okay, but the other was an easy 185 yard 6 iron to a par 5 in two.   Shanked it 100 dead right.)

About 8 years ago I played in league at a par 3 course. I was -2 thru 5 and finished 11,2,11,2 for a +12. 6 and 8 both have water right and OB left, I hit 4 OB off each tee.

 

You might be a hack if......that happened

You might be a hack if someone says the word SHANK, and them you do it.  Thanks a lot, mark.   :angry:

Yeah, I've had 4 shanks in 2 1/2 rounds .... tell me about it. 

 

I guess I can say that my crowding the heel experimentation has gone far enough.

There, you said it again!  And I am just about to head out for a quick 9; sunshine and 60 degrees.  Thanks for the thought!

I know I'm a hack. What's worse is that my girlfriend, who has never played golf in her life, knows that I'm a hack. I can't complain too much because she supports me and even bought me Game Golf, but she sent me this picture yesterday while I was at work. I would just like to say that I haven't actually done this. Yet.

I hope that's a driver divot. On the plus side, it takes some serious power to move that much earth.

I think Rookie described it as taking a Beaver pelt but then again he was referring to a divot he took with a sand wedge

  • 2 weeks later...

Once upon a time, on a 155 yd par 3, I shanked the tee shot OB into the parking lot, had to re-tee, the next shot the ball lands on green and rolls in the hole.

 

Par.

 

That was the only hole-in-three I have ever had.

 

Another career highlight, topped a driver off tee, ball dribbles left towards a bunch of trees about 50 yards away, hits a tree, then bounces back towards me, lands softly in my left hand about waist high, I didn't move an inch.

 

So then I re-teed it, and sliced it into a swamp on the right.  Exasperated, the gods left it there. 

Respectfully,
DHUCK WHOOKER
