I've been meaning to ask for a while, but do any of you have tattoos?

I have a piece around my wrist that goes halfway up my elbow all the way around my arm,and one on my back, I know not ALOT of golfers have them, but I am really into them, and plan on more, hopefully a full sleeve on my right arm someday.

Suprisingly enough, I have never really gotten a bad vibe from any old timers, or people at the various clubhouses (I thought I would) as to alot of people, tattoos are looked down on.

So, who has ink?

I would like to get one, but can't help but feel that it (for me) is a waste of money and something I will regret in the future.


I say it would be a waste of money for me as I would truly only be doing it to impress people, I personally have no need for a tattoo and can't imagine I would enjoy having one that much.

Golf tattoos were discussed here (just another point of reference).
I have two tattoos. One on my left calf and a small one on my right shoulder. looking into getting one on my right calf. I love tattoos as long as their in good taste and artistic (not much of a fan of cartoon tatts). Really like shaded tatts.

I currently have two tatoos... one on each of my outer upper arms... both coverable by a tee-shirt or polo. I plan on getting at least two more... one on each shoulder. I want a golf one, but like you guys I can't think of anything cool. I have thought of the hole-in-one thing, but I'm also impacient and will probably get the next tat in the next couple years. Right now I have one that pertains to my religion and

I think those two statements contradict each other.

Golf.....tattoo? Really? That's pretty amusing to say the least but I would never ever consider gettting one. And thats not because I'm against tattoos, I have a pretty large one on my right shoulder blade. Like other people have said before though, a tattoo really should mean A LOT to you (mine is an autism awareness ribbon and I have an autistic brother) and I can't ever see a game getting that important to me. Its kind of like the people who have a tattoo of their favorite sports team, except much weirder. But hey, that's just me. Don't let me stop you if you're thinking about it...

I have 3 tats on my arms and one on my foot. Planning a small backpiece and something more on my feet this winter. I'm 36 and still love tats, but they DO HAVE TO MEAN SOMETHING to you.
Can't think of anything golf related that would be cool other than the biker chick putting one mentioned. The hole in one would neat, but needs to be very well planned out.

I have a 3/4 sleeve in progress on my left arm and I have 1 on my bicep and 1lower delt half circling the bicep tat. I planon getting more, maybe even a golf tat... or something with agolf club in it.

I love my tat's and want more, I want a back piece and calf work.. I also plan on some pec work to go with the 3/4 sleeve that's in progress... you don't ahve to like them or even care for them... they're mine. And for what it's worth, I'm a software developer working for a very good company and Ihave hopes (please cross your fingers( that I'll be at Microsoft by the end of theyear...

I have had one for almost 12 years, since my bro left this world. The next week I found a clubhead by the lake that had two lions with clubs in their paws, I added a bird of paradise and a sacred heart.

Can you post a picture of it?

Sorry to hear about your brother.

    • Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree. 
    • Depends on my lie and the green I am working with. If I want to fly and stop, my 58* If I am looking for it to run a bit, my 54* And on occasion if the lie and green call for it, punch and run with my 7i
    • I did the RTJ trail, we just did Grand National and Capitol Hill. We were trying to minimize travel time. It gave us 5 courses to play. You pare playing 3 of the 5 we played.  If I had to pick, I would play the Lakes over the Links at Grand National. Links felt too penal on approach shots. If you can't get height or spin, it felt like every ball that hit the center of the green ran off the back. A lot of the greens require force carry, no running it up. It just wasn't that fun to play.   Judge - Really good course, some really cool holes and terrain.   Senator - Really fun open course. They call it link style, I can't remember how much you can play the ball down, but it has the aesthetic appeal.   
    • I do that at the range; I just have been going through a half-assed pre-shot routine. 😇 I just kind of waltz up to the ball and hit it. I catch myself just going through the motions of aiming. Once I started aligning my club to an intermediate target, I felt like I was aligned way open to the target but just trusted it. Like, if the club was aimed at the flag in the middle of the green, then my body was aligned left of the green or more (assuming something like a 100+ yard shot). I think I was more concerned with where my feet were lined up and not the clubface.  A question on alignment then.  So, the ball is like what, 3-FT away from the toe target line. So, does that mean if my toe line is aimed at the flag, the club is aimed 3-ft right? Does the perception of the green looking smaller in the distance impact that in terms of how we hit the shot? I feel like the geometry should work that the ball is actually aimed 3-FT right.
