I must have my watch in my left pocket of my pants to play good.

I keep my cell on silent and only answer the phone if my wife or work texts 911 on the cell...I don't think that is superstition, though. I just lose focus if I get phone calls on the course...

ALWAYS have an extra ball in my right pocket... must be the same type and number as the one I'm playing. (not to cheat and drop it either) Divot tool has to be in my left pocket. If I forget them both at home, it just doesn't feel right on the first tee. And I ALWAYS tee the ball with the teeing leaning a little bit toward the target. Why I do any of these things I don't know. They probably started as simple habits but now it feels wrong if I don't do them.

I like to ace a par-3 each round. :)

Seriously though, I guess mine is to never start the first hole with a brand new ball. Also, if it's a reasonably serious round (i.e. with boss/coworkers, group outing, betting with friends), I have to wear blue.

Whenever I can, I try to mark the ball on the greens with a penny from the 70s so hopefully I will shoot the same.

I keep 2 tees in my left pocket, along with a spare ball. I will have my repairers in my right pocket. Never take off glove until the last, use broken tees on par 3's, and always tee off the 1st with a 4 iron on my home course.

I know some people wont use the same tee on any hole... They only hit from a tee once then discard it.

Last time I played my local course I was following a ladies competition, and at every hole there was a red and pink tee left behind.

For me the closest I come to one is trying to have everything in my bag bright (fluro) orange. Orange tees, balls, bag, glove etc... I still have a few things to go before I am completely orange, but the remainder of my equipment is fluro green, bar my clubs which I will detail with orange paint ASAP.

I put my phone and keys in the golf cart, but keep the waller in my left front pocket. I put a handful of tees and an extra ball in my front right pocket. In the good old days, it was a pocket full of balls, but I'm down to one in case I need a provisional. I never tee off with a 3 wood.

Other than that, not much else, I don't think. I'm not very superstitious.

I don't care how many scuffs and cartpath marks are on my ball. If the momentum is on my side and I'm throwing nothing but birdie and pars on the scorecard I will keep hitting that golf ball. Mojo is something I believe in.

That's close to mine.

If I find a ball in the water or woods or rough or anywhere, it wanted to be lost , so I won't play it, EVER,. It goes into my partners bag(hehe). Strange, 'cause I always buy "used" balls on eBay. go figure!

Where the flap on my glove laps over and velcro's shut, right in that little groove I have a tee. Don't know why but I have done that for 17 years of playing.

I have a persistent superstition that does not make any sense but it bothers me to no end. Like most of you I have a closet full of very nice golf shirts and related apparel but I almost always wear older, almost threadbare shirts and shorts because I score better! huh? If I wear my classy stuff I play poorly but if I dress like a ragamuffin I, for some reason, feel like I can shoot lights out.
It's not fair - I spent all my life hiding the fact that I was nutty as a Christmas fruit cake and along comes golf and exposes me! dayll
