What Are You "OCD" About?

[asw7576]

Also polishing the club , I make sure it is shiny hahaha

[elon235]

The condition of my putters and I’ve got a lot of them. Just like Sergio, they get any marks on them out they go. Could care less about how any other club in my bag looks.

[el_rousso]

OCD about what ?

 

Every club has its own place in the bag ? Check.

Carry clubs from only one (-ish) manufacturer ? Check. (yeah I know, this isn't the case right now, and it's annoying)

Always have the same things (2 balls, 3 tees, a divot tool and a ball marker) in my left pocket and absolutely nothing in the right ? Check.

Find the place where my feet are absolutely flat on the teebox before each tee shot (almost regardless of where the markers are, but never in front of them) ? Check.

 

It's not only on the golf course as well...

Here's a few.

Although I don't play Nike clubs anymore, I am a Nike fanboy and I wear only Nike clothes and shoes as if I was sponsored...but never would be.Clean clubs before every roundClubs in their own slotNothing in my pockets other than a divot tool and ball marker.Glove in my left pocket when I puttNew ball for every roundIf I walk to the green with another club other than my putter, I bring the putter headcover with me so that I can take it off and place next to my other clubs so that I know to get the headcover and the other clubs when I've finished the hole. I do this so I don't leave any clubs behind. When I just bring the putter to the green, the headcover stays in the cart so I don't forget to leave it on the green.I'm sure I have more but thats all I can think of at the moment.

[llamont]

I am ocd about cleaning my wiping my clubs/cleaning the grooves of my irons and wedges between each and every shot.

[caeye0710]

Apart from the normal stuff like making sure my sticks are immaculate, I keep my bag completely organized. Everything has it's own pocket, compartment. I also clean my golf shoes after every round to make sure they continue to look as new as possible.

Oh - another thing I'm OCD about is my golf pants have to fit perfectly. I can't stand when they are too long and bunch up down by my shoes.

[Neurotica]

Headcovers on my woods, hybrids, and putter at all times unless being used, no unnecessary dings while in the bag. No covers on irons. Clean clubs after every shot.

I won’t wear a hat or clothing of any golf equipment manufacturer unless I play their gear.

Clothes and hat must match.

Dont have a requirement to use gear from the same maker though I’m all PING at the minute just worked out that way.

[Sean2]

I wear "non-denominational" hats...no OEM's...same goes for my golf bag.

[Hawkeye77]

Faces of clubs clean.

[Neurotica]

I really like the Richardson Style 112 trucker hats they just fit me. No Ping ones however so I have a bunch of blank ones in various colors instead...super cheap on Amazon.

[TimK1]

I'm totally obsessed with ball flight and hitting it on the sweet spot. even it the shot ends up good and I didn't strike it purely or where I wanted, I don't like it. I'm ocd about being a pure ball striker.

[Sean2]

Dang, that is a tough one! I feel I have more control of keeping my clubs, grips, shoes, etc., pristine than I do over my golf swing, lol.

[TimK1]

Yes,

It's a never ending quest and do you really ever get there? Not really, but it's fun trying.

[Broke100]

Not sure I’d be able to play if my irons didn’t have identical grips.

 

Fixing pitch marks (including random ones) helps me relax before putting. Not sure it’s OCD, but I prefer to fix then putt!

[Sean2]

I agree Tim. Golf is always a journey, never a destination.

[vietnameeh]

Not sure if this is OCD. or me being a sissy

I have trouble.... a bit of anxiety when people try to hit my clubs regardless of skill. I have no issues with marks/scuffs that I create using my clubs. For some reason I have a lot of issues if someone who touches my clubs creates marks/dings on my clubs

The worst is when someone wants to try my driver.... they always tend to pick the worst range balls out of the bucket... or sometimes a sandy ball..... OMG CRINGE

or if they take my putter/iron/driver to check out and just slam/drop/ground it on the cement ground.

I never blame them but itll bug me enough to try and buff it out or fix it lol.

Its weirdest thing about me as a golfer because I am also that golfer that would rather play a golf ball that I played for 36 holes with slight scuffs than pull out a fresh ball (maybe it ties into me being a cheap ass LOL I duno)

 

[scomac2002]

I'm non denominational when it comes to hats too since I retired my poser Titleist hat. It's now a hat bearing my club's logo.

AS for the bag, well that's yet to go that route, I'm simply too cheap when the current bag is still doing the job!

[Pulledabill]

Coin and divot tool right pocket

2-3 tees left pocket

Glove goes in back left pocket when putting

Only buy white tees

Clean grooves

Always park on the right side of ball with power or pull cart

White towel on right hip during wet play

[Mikey5e]

You sound like one of my friends I golf with who is never happy with any shots he ever makes. There is always a flaw somewhere in a shot, and always let everybody know about it. I wouldn't be surprised if he got a hole-in-one and complained about it somehow. You could be one of two people, either my friend Dave, or a millennial.

[TimK1]

Neither my friend. I'm 56 I don't complain about it. It's golf. Not an easy game but I strive for the sweet spot but realize after 30 some years of golf, you only hit a few totally pure shots a round.

[llamont]

I just bought a shag bag and I have the same, but recycled, golf balls I play with.

[Lincoln_Arcadia]

I also brush and wipe every shot, but that’s to reduce the amount of dirt collecting on the bottom of my bag. Otherwise, your PW could sit a couple inches out of the bag...

[NEOhio]

Properly tucking in my white sleeveless shirt into my jeans...

[HackDaddy360]

Golf is a fantastic game for those who are OCD - so much to obsess over!

for me...

clubs must always go where they’re supposed to in the bag. ProV1 logo must be on left side of the ball when putting. if using a coin for a ball mark, always mark it with the heads up. towel must always be wet on half of it and clean clubs after each shot and grips before each shot in the summer. will not use wood colored teesOnly play Titleist 4’s or 7’s during competitive play. fixing lots of ball marks same pre shot routine every time. there’s probably more. I justify all of my consistency by saying it reduces the things you have to think about when trying to score - if you do the same routine every time you can just think about the shot - nothing more (ish).

[deadon500]

Cleaning the ball every chance I can -- clubs too..

[Sean2]

I was at the range today, and as I was leaving the bay I told a guy who was waiting that I was finished. His irons had so much dirt on them I couldn't see the grooves, lol.

[mtngerry59]

Every i touch , drive slow my wife crazy.....oh well, time to go organize my used golf balls ! Lol

[Yank8823]

Always have to wear a hat when I play... Always need a red Sharpie alignment mark on my ball... Always need 3+ tees in my left pocket.

[fillwelix]

I'm the same way about needing tees in my pocket. I keep probably 6 tees in my right pocket along with ball mark and repair tool (or just use a tee if I'm lazy and don't pull the tool out of my bag). After I hit my tee shot on 18 I put all the tees back in my bag.

[jcamn1]

Playing partners that don't clean there clubs or golf balls...I'll pick up their wedge around the green ...(speeding up play) while they finish out & clean there club, or while there waiting to putt have them toss me their ball to clean it...Last but not least, Being ready to hit either in tourney play or a casual ready golf round with friends! Golf is meant to be played in 3:15-3:45, but that's a whole other post...LOL
