BigtazzGolf Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 No real superstitions, but I tend to to the same things before a round always the same from warming up in a particular order with my clubs or eating/drinking the same thing just before I tee off.

GolfSpy Barbajo Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Not sure if this is a superstition or just a personality quirk - but I can play with long fingernails.

I keep a nail clipper in my cart, you might have to get one for the bag! I wouldn't call them superstitions per say, but I may have a few. One tee and the ball in left pocket. Ball marker and divot repair tool in right pocket. Nothing else can be in my pockets. Always mark my ball the same way. If I'm on a run playing good golf I'll also wear the same boxers for each round (washed between rounds) and try to wear the same headwear be it visor or hat. I also feel like I tend to play better when I wear my wedding ring. Driver: SLDR w/ Fujikura Ventus Black 3w: '16 M2 hl w/ Diamana D+ 82 5w: Launcher HB w/ HZRDUS Yellow Hybrid: 22 deg.

Chris O. Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Oh boy I shouldn't have gotten started on this thread...I have nothing in my left pocket, two tees and two quarters in my right pocket and the rest of the pockets are empty. But inside of 100 yards I'll take my glove off and put it in my back left pocket. If I hit a bad tee shot I'll switch that tee out for a different one or just toss it if it was a really poor shot (because obviously it was the tees fault not mine).

Kenny B Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 It doesn't matter what I do; I've tried everything. If I have a great round, I do everything the same next time but it doesn't work, so I guess I am not superstitious. I thought that maybe I just need to do things different every time, and that doesn't work either. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently I've stopped keeping extra balls in my pocket. It started with something my coach said that keeping an extra ball meant I expected to need it. Great advice. Along the lines of never grab a junk ball for a hard shot over a hazard or water. Always play a good ball because it gives you that extra bit of caring/skin in the game for your result. Makes you concentrate a little bit harder on that shot. Driver: SLDR w/ Fujikura Ventus Black 3w: '16 M2 hl w/ Diamana D+ 82 5w: Launcher HB w/ HZRDUS Yellow Hybrid: 22 deg.

If I forget - I wind up chewing them down while driving to the course, other wise it bugs me the entire round. It's not because of superstition, but I prefer not having freshly clipped nails - just don't like the feel. I always try to clip them at least a day or two in advance. It's not just for golf, I feel the same way about anything that involves working with my hands whether it's yard work, working on the house, etc...

revkev Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 This is fresh! I love it. For me it's a preference, if it doesn't fall out this way so be it but let's just say that my wife will never leave my change drawer with fewer than two quarters in it. I always start the round with two quarters, three tees and a spare ball in my right pocket with nothing in my left pocket. I have one additional ball in the cart or a convenient spot in the bag if I'm walking. I never use one of the three tees for anything other than driver (I use 31/4 inch tees). I do keep a short tee in a convenient spot just in case I can't find a broken tee on the box. I fix ball marks with a new tee (I know that I should use a repair tool but I'm very good with a tee.)

sp0rtsfan86 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Always have to wear a hat. Going hatless results in awful rounds. My ballmarkers are all either a NJ quarter (hometown), 1976 drummer quarters or various .50 or 1 dollar coins, including a Sacajawea coin that I forgot they tried getting us to use. After every round I point to the sky say thank you and point to the holes and give myself a little fist pump. Just my way of saying thanks to everyone who allowed me the opportunity to play golf (my family) and remembering the round for the right reasons.

kmaygolf Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 2 tees, a quarter, and divot tool in the right pocket, nothing in the left, glove goes in the back left when I'm putting.
