How do you celebrate a nice made putt? Or anything for that matter?

Fist pump? "Hand" Gun? The Chi-Chi Rodriguez?

Personally, I try my hardest to keep a straight face, stroll nonchalantly to the cup, pick the ball out of the hole and give my imaginary gallery a quick wave.  (Hence my quote-thingy under my avatar.)

I usually turn to my partner and say, "Suck it."  He usually responds with, "F off."  But we give each other sh*t all the time and enjoy it.

Usually a subdued fist pump.  If it's more meaningful than just a putt made (long birdie, or wining a skin/match, etc.) then I might be more demonstrative with the fist.  If it's a partner or team competition then high fives are quite appropriate.

I chipped in for birdie from a bank behind the green on the 9th yesterday. Apparently it went something like this: "Stop! Stop! (Hits it slightly too hard into downslope) Go! Go! (Sees it rolling right on line) Yes please! Fuck me! (Nails pin, drops) Er ... sorry. (Realizes other three guys are pissing themselves laughing.)

The reaction you have when you think that's the reaction you should have, what a tool. Forced, fake and the one of the reasons the Europeans win.

I'll usually do the ol' fist pump. If it's pretty big-time I'll put a little more "umph" behind it.

If it's on the 18th I'll give the gallery a wave. Anywhere else and I'm waving to the large gallery of lawnmowers.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

Definitely the fist pump. Sometimes more demonstrative (Tiger-like) and sometimes more subdued (think Ray Allen).

I prefer to keep it pretty subdued - just throw the ball into the nearest hazzard, preferably water! My partner always freaks out when I do that. He doesn't understand why I would toss a perfectly good ball, especially if it is lucky. Not much of an issue for me though, since I take one from my partner's bag before we start the match for just such an occasion.

This will make me sound like an old fart, but I just go pick the ball out of the cup.  I play a lot with my brother and dad, so any celebration with them around doesn't seem appropriate.

What makes you think his reaction was forced and fake? I never got that impression at all. The Europeans won because they played better golf, plain and simple. If I were ever honored enough to play for my country, I'd probably get caught up in the moment too. I didn't see anything wrong with Overton's reaction, thought it was pretty awesome actually. To be quite honest, I wouldn't mind seeing a little more emotion shown in big moments, all around.

Taken out of context (i.e. watching a youtube video) it does seem rather contrived and over the top, but certainly no worse than the Flying Molinari Brothers or Ian Poulter. The entire Ryder Cup seemed a bit forced and fake.  Maybe it was the weather and the location of the golf course?!?!?

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 ·

      I had another interesting ruling last week, in a pro "junior/senior fourball" event.  Near one of the greens was a drain, with the actual grate set maybe 3 or 4 inches below the ground surface.  It wasn't in a depressed area, basically just a straight-sided hole, with the surrounding ground pretty level.  A Player's ball was in some longer grass adjacent to the grate, maybe even overhanging a bit, to the "side" of the drain, so the path of his swing was "tangent" to the circular grate.  The ball was at ground level, so 3 or 4 inches above the metal grate itself.   As I saw it, there was no way at all that the actual Obstruction would impact any reasonable swing path, so I denied relief.  I did talk it over with another official, who said he would probably have allowed the relief, but agreed that it was a borderline call.

      Here is where we're at so far.  (3) more spots left for Saturday, and (2) Sunday.  Again, if there are more folks interested in both days, we'll give preference to them.
