What Are You "OCD" About?


Sean2

Recommended Posts

Well I've stated this before, I always clean each club after I use it. Then I put the covers on them, irons and metals. I didn't do that the beginning of the year and was surprised at how bet up the irons got. So I willl from now on.

 

I take my glove off after I hit and change it out after 9 or less. I keep all gloves neatly folded in an envelope in the bag, one glove one envelope.

I have an odd one. I want nothing in the trunk of my car except my clubs (cleaned and ready to go) and my shoes (cleaned and ready to go) nothing else. No clothes or extra shoes, spare clubs, or sunscreen or water bottles, no jumper cables or car gear, nothing. Before a round I’ll go out to the car to check and make sure the trunk is in order. It’s weird, and doesn’t show up anywhere else, just the trunk.

I can't have anything in my pockets not used for the round ... and the things are very specific and belong in specific pockets.

 

Front right: Three black tees. If I break one, I have to grab another out of my bag and replace it in the pocket. Ball currently in play goes there from green to next tee.

Rear right: Scorecard/yardage book

Rear left: Nothing

Front left: Red ball mark repairer and one 1 Colon coin from my trip to Costa Rica several years ago, which I use as a mark. Brought back 100 of them and so far have only managed to lose a couple.

 

I feel oddly off balance if this isn't right.

 

... golfers. What a weird bunch.

You and I will never ride together lol

Not too many things, but a few that would drive me insane if they weren't all followed...

* My bag has a 14-way divider, and each club has to go in its own slot, and in ascending loft order. If someone takes a club out and doesn't put it back in the correct slot I can feel my blood boil.

* I have now perfected my pre-shot routine. Whatever the shot I will always go through the same routine; I will always try to exaggerate my downswing keeping my right elbow in stood a couple of paces behind my ball. I will walk back further and take a line with my club held out vertically in front of me. I'll line once at a distant object and again with a line a couple of feet beyond the ball. At this point I'll address the ball keeping my eye on the line just beyond the ball. At address I will shrug my shoulders a few times to get correct shoulder alignment, relax my complete body then I am ready to hit my shot. If I don't do one part right, or doesn't feel good I'll start again. It takes no longer than 20 seconds.

* We don't have the same prevalence of golf carts in the UK so I always carry/push my clubs on a trolley, so everything tends to be in my pockets, barring drinks, snacks, extra balls etc. Each pocket has a purpose: Front right - tees, ball marker, pitch mark repairer and club cleaner. Front left- glove when not in use. Back right - card and pencil. Back left - phone.

Club face has to be clean.

Ball has to be clean on the greens.

I also take my glove off after every shot.

Noticed this weekend just how much it bothers me when someone, whether it be in my group or an adjacent group, makes a noise or hits a ball while I am attempting to tee off. Much more than it should. This weekend I sent some balls off to the nether worlds when someone made a noise, even a slight one. While another guy in my group can have someone talking to him while he's teeing off. And with clubs, they have to be in the same slot in the bag and the headcover cannot fall on the ground while hitting the club. Now that I think about it I have quite a few quirks in the game.

I used to be just like OP. As time has progressed, so has my acceptance of the game and my time for what it’s worth. My clubs are cleaned at the end of the round. I would say the two things I still remain OCD about is hardcovers staying on clubs (I just don’t understand people who don’t use them on woods or putters), and clubs being in the right place. I think the vast majority of my obsessive nature with the specifics of my bag were imparted by my dad growing up. We’ve both since then, been a bit more passive with cleaning them after every round. Although I just say, it’s pretty damn therapuetic washing and cleaning clubs and grips once in a blue moon.

I have to use a broken tee on a par 3. I absolutely cannot even use a full shorter tee.

I have a lot of OCD quirks. I don’t mark my score on my card if it’s a par. When I make a bogie or birdie, then I go back and fill in my score for that hole and every previous par. My clubs have to be in the correct slot in my bag, I always keep two balls, three tees, and a repair tool in my front right pocket, and I keep my scorecard holder in my back left pocket. There’s other stuff (new grips every 80 rounds, keep clubs clean, etc.) but that legitimately improves performance and/or comfort.

Wet towel.

 

Didn't realize it was such a big deal until I rode off without wetting it last week and HAD to wet it in a man-made water feature on the #2 tee.

Gotta have the teeing ground around my ball clear of debris: broken tee bits, leaves, grass, etc. Fixing ball marks on the green. I'll fix all in my path. Also, picking up divots in the fairway and finding divot holes to put them back into.

I supposed there's hit-then-curse part of my game which happens a lot lately but that's not really OCD.

I like buying new balls. I am hesitant to play new balls. And because my course is easy, I rarely lose balls. I have sleeves of new balls stacked like cordwood on the shelf. And about 10,000 tees because I can never pass up an unbroken tee on the driving range.
