Your Golf Stereotype


Twism86

Recommended Posts

So, we all have our habits and way of doing things. What is your golfer stereotype?

 

Im the ball hunter. I cant help but drive along the woods and water hazards searching for a few free Pro Vs or any other premium ball. If im playing alone I can get distracted for some time... Ill collect some good looking cheap balls too and just leave them in the cart or my less picky golf buddies will take them. That or save them to do some skipping at a pond (if the course has one).

I always approached the game like Bryson, before I even knew who he was. That's why I enjoy rooting for him.

 

I can't win by pure athleticism, so I enjoy using my brain to give myself every advantage I can.

 

For that reason, my friends all seem to bring their swing or equipment questions to me. I can answer the equipment ones with physics, but I am always hesitant to give swing advice!

Why do I hit my 30* 6i further than my 28* 5i.....?

Assuming they are from the same set, it's most likely swing speed. 5i is launching too low and doesn't carry as much as you need.

 

Unless for some reason that extra 0.5" on the shaft causes you to top, shank or thin everything compared to your 6i. :D

I am the golfer who gets nervous playing a scramble in front of family members and hits the first two drives ten feet off the bottom surface of my driver.

shaft experimenter

equipment ho

fast player

swing hard and find it

 

The exact opposite of a ball hawker

 

My new buddies said this to me last year "anyone that doesn't know you would think you'd be awful, fancy MyJoys untied, shirt half untucked, fat boy, saunter to tee, use a martini tee, and then you blast the ball down the middle every single freaking time"

I'm the ball hunter.

 

Oh, I hate you! Haha, j/k.

 

I've golfed with folks who I swear were more excited about looking for balls than playing, lol. I'm 100% the opposite. I take a quick scan and if I don't see it, I'm dropping within about 60 seconds

 

 

Love this question though.

 

I guess I'm the eternal optimist. I go with the flow.

 

...playing partner sinks a 4-footer for a snowman... 'hey, nice putt!'

 

...playing partner shoots a 98...'yeah, but you had that sweet par save back on #7!'

 

...'so guys, do we wanna walk or ride? I'm good either way!'

 

...'oh, man, this was the worst round of my life...ya'll good for next week?'

Sounds like we should play together if you like cheering on the guy doing bad! Ill keep the ball hunting to a minimum haha!

Ready golf. Just keep moving along - if I can't find the ball in 2 minutes it's lost. OB as a lateral hazard.

 

Yup. Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm also that guy that lets out a big sigh when a playing partner spends 30 minutes looking for his ball he "knows was right here". I think and analyze too much so the quicker I can play, usually the better.

Look for your ball for 60 seconds and its done! 5 minutes looking for 1 golf ball..... NOPE. Chances are if you dont see it initially its gone.

 

Or even worse, the person that is completely horrible, can't even break 100, but freaks out if the shot doesn't do what he wants... uhhhhhh where'd those expectations come from? lol

i admit it -- i have a tendency at times (especially if i know the person i'm playing with) to talk to my playing partner's golf ball.

My stereotype is probably impatient. If it is even a question whether it could be lost or not I declare and hit a provisional and do about one pass through the weeds looking for my first one. An extra 10 seconds to re tee saves a lot of time and shame later if you have to come back.

Equipment tech nut. Can recall and discuss properties of all gear and shafts and balls out there with great authority, know my own specs to the fraction of an inch and have a pretty good idea of what the guys on the TV play. And yet, couldn't hit a solid shot if my life depended on it.

I would disagree Bryson uses his brain. He strikes me as a jock who tries to think. And he is actually very athletic. So you are like him how?
