Me too. I guess my wrinkle is that I hate to tuck my shirt into my shorts, which most fancy clubs here insist on. Just feels dorky and wrong. So I'll put on a belt and tee off in the approved manner and then liberate my shirt tail immediately once out of sight of the starter.

I concur, I never did tuck mine in and no one ever said boo to me. It is dorky, wrong and bad style tucking them in.

I agree also...tucking the shirt in with shorts is both dorky and bad style. Might as well put on a bowtie and pocket protector too!

I play with my glove on...all 18 holes...never taking it off.

I put my glove on on the first tee and it never comes off my hand until I'm done with the round. I putt with it, I drive with it, i chip with it, etc, etc.

Let's see... I don't think I have anything particularly strange, but I got some quirks for sure...

I refuse to wear a hat while golfing. I think it derived from my father ALWAYS wearing a hat while he played, but I feel so uncomfortable with one while on the course. Oddly enough, I'm perfectly fine wearing visors on really sunny days. Even when my entire golf team is wearing Somers Golf hats, I won't.

I hold my exact follow through position until the ball hits stops moving or goes out of sight. I won't relax a second earlier. My buddies say it's as if I'm posing for a picture.

I consistently shoot my handicap... Don't go to far above or below. (Doesn't seem odd, but it is!)

The flop shot is my go-to choice for approach shots over chips.

Uhhh... I think that's it? I guess I'm pretty normal.

Definitely the position of things in my pockets. If my glove, tee, marker, divot tool, and ball (when walking between holes) aren't in their respective spot, I feel off balance. Also I need to have me own score card, even when playing with a group, that has a row for score, fairway hit, green in regulation, and putts. I also believe that my new hat that I bought got my swing on plane.

I am a pretty accomplished player (All-State in HS Soph, Jr & Sr year, Play D I college golf and was an All-American, gave the tour a two year shot with limited success)...yet I have never had a hole-in-one. Come very, very close on many occasions. Still hoping though.

I mean it's probably more the fact that I went with a new instructor the day before I bought the hat but you never know ;)
