Golf confessions...

[platgof]

After three over, I play it out anyway, and take the three over. I drove the cart over the tee box deliberately and race in carts with my friends. I am loosing the mental side of this game and say regrettable things to my clubs(I do make up later.)

[FourTops]

I saw the new Titleist AVX golf ball on display and thought...."Oh...here's another product that will generate 493,071 posts on WRX". And its a ball the R&D folks rejected before they came out with the ProV1...but nobody will know except the marketing guys.

[DavePelz4]

Right now I have a Cally driver under a Titleist head cover, a VSteel 3W under a Titleist headcover and a VSteel 5W under a Cally headcover.

last night my cousin claimed he got a bogey when in fact it was a triple....I marked down a triple after he said "i got 5".....

Did he catch it post round?

[trilerian]

I quickly walk off a green before everyone is done putting because I KNOW I'm gonna hear..."if it weren't for that OB drive I would have parred that hole".

 

I call that a fake par and mark down my 6.

 

If I know I am the last one on the course I don't rake the bunkers.

My ball has never come to rest in a divot on the fairway. I must be a lucky golfer...

When I am by myself I play more than one ball. Not like I can post for hc anyways.

not really...I added up the scores and he "thought he played better" but didn't question the math....

[HatsForBats]

I often don't fix extra ballmarks when the greens or course are in poor condition. Conversely I will sometimes fix a lot of extra ballmarks even though the effort makes no real difference. Late in the season some of my favorite public tracks can get a bit beaten up and abused.

 

If I don't feel the course is in a condition to warrant the price charged I am not overly worried about replacing fairway divots. ie. you get to a course that did not post they just aerated and then they charge you the full rack rate. Another might be when you get charged an exorbitant amount extra for not booking online.

 

If the cart girl is pretty I might buy a beer just to get a closer look. No, I don't leer or hit on her.

 

If the cart girl is below average looking I feel jipped even though I probably wouldn't be buying anything from her anyways.

 

When playing a course I play infrequently or it is new to me - If a couple of holes or more are cut in what I deem unfair positions I may accidently forget to repair a ballmark or few depending on the severity of the 'infraction(s)'.

 

Even having worked for a while at a job where tips provided most of the income (bartending) I loathe the bagboy cleaning my clubs at some average public track and expecting a tip. Same goes for loading my bag onto a cart that is 10 feet away or driving an empty cart out to my car when I arrive. I prefer to tip when I request a service. High end courses I feel differently because I am anticipating that level of service for the price I am (usually) paying.

 

If a kid is selling golf balls I will buy a few even though I very likely won't use them. I was that kid when younger so I will go out of my way for that.

 

I sneak snacks onto courses.

 

I see no need. Pull out a snack and start eating right in front of the starter. I'm not sure I have ever been to a course that would call you on that... even the ones that have the 'no outside snack or food' posted on a sign.

I have a Srixon golf back that used to match my Srixon golf balls perfectly. Now I use Snell balls but the bag remains without using any other Srixon gear.

 

[DavePelz4]

People have confused my game with Bryson DeChambeau's. Actually it was just his final 4 holes last week.

[Oveezy]

I’m addicted to buying golf clubs, and I hide it from my wife. Except she’s the one that always picks up the package at the front door... ?

send em to your job.....or a golfing buddys house.....guy code rules in these situations

[ohioglfr]

I talk out loud to myself, whether the shot is good or bad.

 

Usually, it’s WTF or How the hell did I do that?

[Chowdah86]

When playing alone, I move really fast and cut corners doing the following:

 

I never pull the pin.

I never mark my ball, I just put my putter head next to where the the ball was while I clean it off. Or if its really long putt, I just put it back where I thought it was.

I often don't write my score down on a card. I just keep track of score vs par in my head.

If I hit a really bad shot, I have another ball in my pocket. I usually use a yellow one. I drop it and retry the shot. I keep score for the first one only.

After doing all of this, I put my solo scores toward my handicap. GASP!

It’s my confession. Not yours to question and add input. Teeheeheehee

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

[Glaze22]

I will sometimes kick my father inlaws ball to a better spot on the fairways, out of the rough, or away from bad stuff if he cant see me and I am close to it. Also if he is laying 6, 8, or 9 and close to the green, say on the fringe I will sometimes move it a little ummmm closer (aka a lot closer) to the hole. I justify it by saying it helps with pace of play and to help keep him happy on the course.

 

 

PS. He is a 30+ capper.

[Rory4Pres]

You know the more you drink, the more those golf carts start feeling like ATV's....

[Railroading13]

I, for one, am outraged! This thread is golf blasphemy!

[hybrid25]

I don't think caddieshack is very funny.

 

This is almost blasphemous. Now if you said quoting from Caddyshack isn’t funny, well then... I would just say to you, Don’t sell yourself short, Judge. You’re a tremendous slouch.

 

I know I'm the minority on this one, I think it's just too over hyped I had worked in the golf industry for 4+ years and played golf for 10+ before I ever saw it. Maybe I find it over hyped is a better then not funny.

I will go a step further and say I don't think Bill Murray is that funny. He just doesn't make me laugh very often.

Good to see I’m not the only one!

i always check what ball my buddy is playing and clip one or two from his bag, to pull from my pocket and drop during any of the 18 tee shot searching expeditions I go on. Arnie forgive me

LOL I love these confessions.

[RRH]

If I want to play as a single, I make a tee time for two online and then say my friend couldn't make it that day. Lets me play alone lol. Granted this usually happens week day mornings so its not like I'm hogging important tee times.

[Baitkiller]

I have, in the past, straightened Tee boxes that are not in align with the fairway. Drives me nuts.

I no longer do this but it still drives me nuts.

[KillerPenguin]

I pee in the woods sometimes

Sometimes? Why do you think I bought a house that backs up to a state park?

Adding a bathroom costs about $10k.

[youngstructural]

I'll practice almost every day for a week and when complimented on playing well by buddies will say, "must be all the time off from practicing."

 

I'll play a prov1x against any other brand ball in my bag , therefore playing two balls when playing alone. However, I always end up rooting against my own non Titleist ball.

 

 

 

 

[foxy222]

Sometimes when the group behind me hits up multiple times without making a noise I move their ball behind a tree. If you are gonna hit my cart with a ball, at least give me a heads up.

If I am on the green and a shot from the group behind comes to rest on the green, I make sure I head to the next tee by taking the route that has me walk all through his line.
