Are you a superstitious golfer?

[Patch]

Nope, and I have  played the Superstition Springs, and Mountain courses. When I was much younger a few of us in our geology class spent a week hiking around "The Superstitions".

I just believe you get what you hit when it comes to golf.

[Perfect Slicer]

No.  Just no # 2 balls.  Been doing it since my days of playing Wilson Kro-Flites.

I am showing my age.

I like the other numbers.

I'll take all of the #2 balls off of your hands. For free, even. You must have a lot of them laying around.

Superstitions are dumb.

That's a little harsh.

Guys, let's stay on topic, please.

Haven't really played enough golf yet to know what superstitions/rituals I will end up having, except that I want a fresh nail polish on and don't wear shoes at the driving range at all. Gotta get my toes in that grass.

[TGT2015]

Massively superstitious. Everything has to be the same every time I play and if one tiny thing goes wrong at any time I start all over again. One thing I will say is that it makes me play slowly and is quite embarrassing when you play with people you don't know and isn't something really to talk about. I personally think that the majority of pros would also be superstitious as well in my opinion.

Agreed. If you are superstitious, it at least lets me know that I am dealing with someone who has issues...

[DaBush87]

On my home course, missing right is OB, do I put my left shoe on first in the hope that the ball will go left. It seems to work, haven't gone OB in two years on the hole

My advice: You might want to start with a customary superstition like avoiding a certain color to see if that works for you. Other people avoid spicy foods or exotic stews the evening before a round.

For example: I never wear green to play golf.

Re: Nail Polish

I would see you in Blossom Bright nail polish by Estee Lauder.

Limited edition color.

Best of luck choosing the superstition that works for you.

Superstitious? No but definitely a creature of habit. Besides I live at 1313, have a black cat, walk under ladders and I once opened my golf umbrella INDOORS.

[RoyJeeBiv]

i always use my 7 iron from the fringe.

b/c, lucky number...

[ghalfaire]

I'm not superstitious but I won't putt until the hole is empty.  If you hole out before me you need take you ball out of the cup and if you don't I'll ask you to before I putt.
