Has anyone made a purchase that your foursome looks at you and wonders "what is that?" or "why in the world did you buy that?"  I don't mean any clubs or golf balls.  If I'm not making any sense, here's my example:

My friends all shake their hands and give me questioning looks when I use it.  I admit that I rarely use it and I purchased it on a whim but am I the only one with a purchase that give pause to the others in your group?

I recently played with a guy that had something rigged up to his pull cart to hold his burning cigarettes. The only time one wasn't in his hands or lips was when he took a shot.

I have a little plastic thing that clips to my bag and holds my tees all nice and pretty. I get made fun of for it.

A friend of mine in college had a plastic hand to keep his glove on strapped to his bag.

The guys I play with are pretty brutal on each other. Being caught with any silly golf accessory will get you the razzing of your life. We had a guy show up with iron covers for one of our games and we nearly had him in tears, needless to say it was the last time we saw them. Heck, having a ball retriever in your bag is a faux pas punishable by death! :-P

I'm pretty no frills so other than clubs, balls, tees, and a brush..I got nothing.
I guess the weirdest thing is that I have two towels?  lol

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

Oh God... I forgot about the iron covers and ball retriever.  He had those too.

As for two towels, ain't nothing wrong with that.  One for wiping clubheads and one for wiping grips and hands.

Heck, I have 3 towels hanging from mine. 1 that I get damp before the game to help clean the clubs, another that I use to dry the clubs, and one that I use for my hands and grips.

I guess that only odd thing I have in my bag is a swing trainer club. It's weighted and has a training grip. It technically gives me 15 clubs, but I never use it except at the range, and I just don't feel like taking it out. If I was playing a tourney or something like that I would take it out. But I always just play friendly games for fun.

I don't have anything too odd. The oddest thing might be my cleat fixing tool... I have had a habit of losing cleats mid-round, which is why I also keep replacement cleats in my bag.

I have two towels, one is attached to my bag and the other is loose so I can carry it onto the green to wipe my ball.

I have one of these on my bag.... because I have an older buddy who always greets me with "Hey, you got your balls out of your wife's purse today?" or "Hey, you got your balls back, what's up? glad you could make it!"

Now everyone knows my balls are actually on my bag!

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
