RomanG Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Anyone that has played a sport or been around a sport has bared witness to some crazy superstitions. What kind of superstitions have you seen around golf? Better yet, what is yours?

BreakfastBall15 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I’m not superstitious but I am a littlestitous… Only one I really have is putting an orange dot on each side of the logos on balls.

silver & black Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I seem to play better when I wear my 20 year old, faded, wore out front of the brim Raiders ball cap. It's comfortable and it fits my small pin head better than any other hat I have. It's an ugly thing at this point, but It still has the mojo.

Tom the Golf Nut Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 No superstitions. But I have repeatable habits. A long and short tee with one ball in my right front pants/ shorts pocket. Divot tool in my right rear pocket. A spare ball in my left front pocket. Any intact plastic tees I find on the course go in my front left pocket.

Swood1994 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) I used to always think if I have a really good round in a certain outfit then it was lucky. Until the next time I wore it and I had one of my worst rounds. I’m similar to others in that I’m not superstitions but have habits. I keep 3 tees, a ball marker from Ireland, and my divot tool in my front right pocket. On par three’s I will find a broken tee that isn’t white. Preferably a color. The brighter the better. Other than that I’m a pretty normal guy… Edited May 11 by Swood1994 Shifty 1 Quote Current WITB: Driver: Paradym 10.5 Ventus Black 6S (currently Testing AI Smoke) Fairway: ST-Z 230 3-Wood (15°) HZRDUS Smoke Black 6.0 60 Official Test Hybrid: ST-Z 230 Hybrid (19°) Ventus Blue HB-8 Official Test Irons: MP-18 MMC (4-9) Wedges: Vokey SM8 (46.10F, 50.12F, 54.14F, 58.12D) Putter: Select Squareback 2 34.5 Ping Corded 88G PP58 grip double taped Ball: Pro-V1 Reviews: 2023 Red Rooster Sussex Glove Official Forum Test 2023 Mizuno Long Game Official Forum Test 2024 Skytrak+ Official Forum Test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsteetime Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Yes, I am superstitious. I mark my balls with small dots to indicate their position in a sleave of balls. All my balls are marked identically. I switch the side of the ball I hit off the tee every time (odd/even hole direction). I play the sleaves in their numerical order from 1 - 4. (That's just the start of my issues :D) Shifty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beakbryce Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 None. I had one early on when I played high school football. I whacked pads with the other tackle before the game. He got tired of it and we didn't before our final game, semi final for the state championship. We lost. I blamed him! Since then, not a one. Because I mean, if you forget or it takes someone else who doesn't want to play anymore, YOU LOSE! itsteetime 1 Quote Driver: Callaway Epic 9 degree, stiff (set at 10 degrees with the movable weight in the center} FW: Callaway Epic 3,5, heaven wood w/ regular shaft (driver shaft in 3 wood, 3 wood shaft in 5 wood, 5 wood shaft in heaven wood, all three set at neutral plus 1 degree) Hybrids: Callaway BB19 4,6,7 (4 set at neutral plus 1 degree and 6 and 7 set at neutral minus 1 degree for gapping purposes) Irons: Callaway Rogue ST Max 8, 9, PW Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM6 50,54,58 Ball: Titleist Pro V1, 1X, Vice Pro Plus or anything I find that day and try out for the fun of it (I haven't bought balls with my own money in at least 10 years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I like to hit bombs Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Billy Horschel and his laundry list of supertitions is what I think of. Four tees in right pocket and if one breaks, immediately replace Never switch golf ball until a bogey Always uses same ball marker and divot tool Glove always in left pocket itsteetime 1 Quote Driver: G430 10k 3W: Sim2 Max 5W: Stealth Max 4H: Sim 2 5H: TSR2 6-7i: Zx5 Mkii 8-P: Zx7 Mkii 48, 54, 58 SM10 Lab Mezz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
