what are yours before a round or even during a round......

before a round I never play balls #4.... seems like bad luck and 0-3's are the ones.. always hit at least 2 good drives.. and if the course has no driving range then I find somewhere and tee up a couple before or there. tees are yellow,red,orange,green but never white....clear pockets and only carry my lucky ball marker and divot tool...

once on course if my round is real good, no beer, food at 9 just water or a sm fuit snack.. if I feel I'm stuggling then the ball is the 1st to go buy-buy. get a new one, never play a lost ball or a found one, no matter how new..
always put my name on top of the scorecard. and never let anyone pick up a putt and say its good. all putts go in, no mater if its just hanging on the edge, I putt them all. unless its match play...lol

I'll only use natural wood tee's, with or without clearcoat, just no colors. When putting, I place the logo and number on the ball so it's face up, torwards the hole. That's about it, besides always hitting a huge push slice after all birdies.......

Never ever play a ball numbered 3. Always mark my ball with a heads up quarter, with George Washington looking towards the hole. If I hit a nice drive, I take the tee (if intact) and put it behind one of my ears, as if it were a seat of honor. Always take off my glove before I set foot on the green. And I thought after I saw that commercial with Natalie Gulbis, David Feherty, Alice Cooper, Lee Trevino, and George Lopez in which Natalie says she does, I decided that once I buy a new box of balls I talk to them. Set them straight. Tell them what they're going to do. Because, as Natalie said, once they've been in the bag with the other balls, they're influenced.

Call me crazy, but I feel it works for me.

Never ball #4, never a Callaway, always wear a Taylor Made or Adidas r7 hat, clubs must be in the same spot in my bag, flag must not be in sight as I am putting, and never a ball with a sharpie marking from its previous owner.

That would be awfully dumb to throw them out. He probably does what I do, except with the 3 sleeve for me...Take the 3 out in the store and put a 1,2, or 4 in from another box. Or trade them with a friend.

I have 4 sleeves of 4's and one of them is nike which I have never had a good shot from.. lol I can't explain it, there just not my cup of tea, so the trick is to buy a sleeve from the sports shop and then return the #4s the next day ..... or give them to the guys your play'n with.....lol

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
