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 never really considered the worlds of tattoos and golf overlapping on the Venn diagram of life...

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 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.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
