I don't wear my wedding ring when I play golf.

BTW, op, per the title of this thread - one of my biggest spelling and pronunciation pet peeves - It's j-e-w-e-l-r-y, not jew-le-ry.

Jewel, not jewle.

I wear my wedding ring. And the shell necklace I got with my family in Florida. And that's it. But that's the only "jewelry" I ever have on anyway.

I pretty much wear my wedding ring constantly, except when I play.

As a lefty, it seems to get in the way of my fingers when I interlock them. I wonder if other lefties have this problem?

I figure a version of my watch has been to the moon, so my piddly 103 mph swing isnt going to do anything to it. I take everything out of my pockets though.. no cell, no wallet.. I wont even swing with an exta ball in my pocket.. but that is a superstition thing :)

I have noticed that I am the only one in my Men's Club that likes to wear a watch when playing. That seems odd to me but to each his own....it would feel strange to leave it off now after so long.

Phone, glove, extra ball, tees, wallet, and any other papers all go in my pockets. They don't bother me there. Easy access :)

Cargo pants are great aren't they? You can carry all your stuff on every shot. Need a brush for cleaning grooves? Check - I got that. One or your playing partners needs a bandaid? Check. Another buddy needs an Advil and the fourth is complaining that his sandwich needs some Frank's hot sauce? Check and check. Pretzels anyone? Seriously though, after years of having to remove all jewelry (including watches) while playing sports (rules a rules) it's second nature. Regarding having a wallet in my pocket - I'm sure the beer girl likes getting damp money on hot days - eww.

like many others, wear my wedding ring and sometimes my watch....but that's all

Yes. For years, my wedding ring was too tight to come off w/o soap and lots of pain. Now it's loose, but I leave it on. Otherwise, I know I would lose it. Probably should take off the watch and alleviate some of that farmer tan, but I don't.

Seems like I'm not alone in putting my watch, wedding ring, keys, wallet, phone and change into my bag before play. The other guys I play with don't bother but I like not having to fumble in my pocket for a tee. I put my hand into my right pocket and there it is. Left pocket has pitch repairer. Back right - score card. Back left - Glove. I couldn't handle having my keys and wallet fighting for space in my pockets.

I put everything in my bag. I leave my cell phone on, but silent, so I can check it a couple times in case there's an urgent call. Wallet, keys, money clip, smokes, it all goes in the one pocket in my golf bag. I keep a couple tees in one pocket, ballmark tool in another, and a cigarette lighter and some cash for the beverage cart in a back pocket if I'm not at my 'home' course where it all goes on a tab. I also keep a spare ball to toss out in the rough ;)

I don't take off my wedding ring. (I think it would act like it's welded there.) But, there are no stones in it.

My wife gave me a b-stone ring that i wear on my right hand, and i always take that off, along with my watch.

So, i guess i'm not a yes or a no, but a sort of.

I'm extremely "unfussy" about balls. I'll play anything white and round!  I''ll even play the colors i find.

Ring goes on keychain, in the bag with my wallet. I attach my cell holder to the outside of my bag, or put it in the cup holder of the cart if I'm playing lazy golf.

I take my wedding ring off to golf and to practice. My wife doesn't like it much but I've lost a ring before that way. I figure better safe than sorry a second time! Also my grip doesn't feel quite right with the ring on. Perhaps because I'm so used to taking it off? The ring stays home, the rest go into my bag. The ring goes into my wallet if I go practice right after working.
