Range day: "Yeah, my elbow does hurt a bit. Maybe hitting five buckets will make it feel better?"

Course day: "Man, this is a long hole. I better swing out of my friggin' shoes on this drive!"



Do your worst...

Good thread idea.

For me... it's always the same:

"This hole is only 370. 3 Wood will leave you a 7 iron. Yeah, but Driver will leave me a 9 iron."

I always hit the driver... and almost never well.

I'm an idiot.

Me: "My leg feels fine, I'm going to go hit a small bucket."
---Later---
Them: "Small or large?"
Me: "Um... large."
---Later---
"Oh man, my leg hurts, one more..."
"Maybe just one more..."
"Ah, one more won't kill me..."
---Later---
"Damn, my leg really hurts."

Wake up the next day, repeat.

I could pitch one out to the 150 . . . or I could sling a big hook one around the trees with a 3 iron Now how did that Faldo tip go . . . ?

Good thread, Stretch!

Walks up to the ball after my drive on a par 5. Hit it about 280... looks over at my playing partner and say... "Man, I think I can make it to the flag with this next shot."

He says, "Nah... play it safe and leave yourself a simple chip shot."

I look back and say, "forget playing safe... Im gonna crush it."

SWING... CRACK!! Hello tree (tried to hit the ball 800 yards and sliced it bad)

Look over and say, "toss me another ball" as he just chuckles and throws me a ball.

I then, switch clubs and hit a beauty down the middle of the fairway.

Look at him and say, "HA... thanks alot".

...and then things go bad.

This is my worst one. I don't know why I can't get myself to step off. I always try to adjust midswing and that never works.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

...and then things go bad.

Last round I actually stepped away from a 10 foot putt mid-backswing because it didn't feel right. I was really proud of myself, and ended up making the putt after re-grouping.

How bout - I'll be able to find that one! (after it veers off into the woods)

"Don't ... ."

It's a magnet for me. I'll tell myself, don't let it leak, set up for a slight draw. And pow, there it goes right. But the opposite seems true, too. Water on the left, so I tell myself, don't let it draw. And pow, my ball is looking like a dead duck.

In my bag:

One for slicing
One for hooking
One for knocking it in the cup
