Forum Admin 48 Report post Posted December 7, 2016 We just put up this post so would love to hear your superstitions or even back/pocket set-up which may also be a superstition and something you always do for every round! http://www.golfshake.com/news/view/10567/Strangest_Golf_Superstitions_on_Tour.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Holbrook 27 Report post Posted December 8, 2016 I love some of these. I always use 3 balls to practice putting before a round but never the ball I am going to use to tee off with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darrenram 36 Report post Posted December 8, 2016 I don't think I had any superstitions but reading through it got me thinking and I actually have a specific pocket set-up which I never change. And if I do I have to immediately correct! Basically: Back right - score card and pencil Back left - empty or maybe a hankercheif Front right - tees, ptich repair and ball marker and sometimes club cleaner Front left - spare balls for when I lose the one I'm playing with !! I also never tee off the 1st with a driver but there is more to do with my game than a superstitions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OwenDavies 9 Report post Posted December 9, 2016 I don't really have one. Part from using wooden tees, no reason for it. Just can't abide plastic tees! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris P 38 Report post Posted December 9, 2016 Always carry a ball marker and poker chip in my back right pocket (have to go back to my bag if I get to the green and find they're not there) Always place my ball on the tee so the logo reads correctly from behind the ball with the alignment aid to the right Always mark my ball so when it's teed as above the club will hit the marking Have to mark the scorecard before I tee off on the next hole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
