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.)

...It sounds kind of douchey when I write it down...He he.

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.)

If I hole a big putt that my odds are pretty tough to begin with, I usually end up 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.

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.

Lighten up, bro.

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?!?!?

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
