I was just called out recently for being the "Shadow Guy"

I can sometimes be "too many practice swings" guy but obviously not as bad as the guy in the video, and I generally don't take divots on my practice swings.

I'm just glad I'm not "white socks pulled up to the knee" guy, what was up with that lol.

I'm definitely the PGA rule enforcer. But only when people wanna try to "beat me" and try to take a drop where there ball "probably would have been", and wanna take free lie improvement drops.

I'm probably the mood swing guy. Though I try to be more even keel about it now.

I gave up on trying to get everyone in the foursome to play by the rules, just pisses people off and makes the round awkward. Case in point, last week me and my buddy both hooked our drives into the trees (but not OB), we both find our balls and he moves his over a bit because of a tree in his line, I play mine as it lies. I hit a low punch, ball back in stance to about the hundred yard marker and just manage to stay in bounds which was all I could really do because of the trees. He hits his across the fairway and down a gully OB. He drops and we both hit the green from there, I three putt for a double bogey, he two putts and walks off with a par??????? :blink:

Really funny video.  I think most of us can probably relate to either being or playing with some of those guys.  I laughed a lot at Mr. Magically Finds his Ball every time guy

I'd say I'm Mr. Mood Swings and Mr. Sand Trapped!

I went to church with a couple of those guys many years ago.  The Cotton twins.  They've done the Dude Perfect series and have been all over the news etc because of it.  Very cool.

I've done a few of these things as well. :doh: I've been "Tee Box Talker," "Mr. Shadow," and the "Overestimator" and probably a few others.

BTW, if you guys haven't watched their basketball stereotype video, you should.  I think it's even funnier. :)

I am the Forgot his Wedge guy.  And used to be the rules enforcer guy.  But after some experiences like Ernest Jones detailed above, I am not that guy anymore.

That is pretty good!

I am probably the "borrower." I haven't bought a pack of tees in 5 years. They only cost 2 bucks, but for some reason, I can't bring myself to do it! Usually, I find enough tees scattered throughout the course to get me through a round (or I have saved plenty in reserve from the higher end courses that give away tees for free). But every so often - usually around the 14th hole - I'll ask my playing partners if they can "loan" me a tee.

I have been Mr. "That's playable" Mood swing and rageaholic LOL.  Now I'm just That's playable I'd guess.  And maybe Shadow guy on the greens when I'm focused on something else.  PGA Rules guy doesn't last long if it's not agreed on or asked for.  Video is hilarious these guys never disappoint.

The only ones that fit me are the Sand-Trapped guy and the Old Guy.  Which, sad to say, are inconsistent with each other but there it is.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I'm probably closest to the too many practice swings guy but I certainly don't take divots with them.  Funny video though.

    • God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
