Any of you guys out there play golf by a motto? Or any interesting ones youve heard?

One of my favs is "If you have to tell them how good you are, then your not very good".

My coach and I have been trying to get me a little phrase to help me on the course, then I took it and translated it into french (dont ask me why, makes me focus more, im french immersion). I say it to myself to forget evrything and just focus on the shot at hand, its "Garder une rythme soutenu".

Try and translate that and ill check back tomorrow and see if anyone gets it:D (ill tell you that internet translators dont translate it properly).
 
After watching a great movie, another is "your guna die clown!"

:D
 
Sandpiper3,

That means "To keep a constant rhythm." or "To keep a constant rate."

I would think this would be even better:

Vivez dans le moment!

S-

:D

I think I'll use that quote the next time some nimrod makes a big "X" in front of my putt...(cross-thread reference intended) :laugh:
 
Nice reference, Eracer.

My only golf motto is, "get in'da hole!"...:laugh:

I played all my baseball growing up with "I came here to play ball" on my cap. I have too many swing thoughts these days, no room for a motto. ;)
 
Our number one on our team always says " stop thinking so much and just get up and hit the ball"

seems to work mighty nice for him...
 
My motto on the course is "no doubles"

This means that when I have any doubt to a shot a play the safe shot to ensure I make no worse than bogey. Doubles kill rounds, simple as that.
 
Don't spit into the wind....

Don't tug on superman's cape....

Does anyone see where I'm going with this?:D

I have the same motto when it's my turn to get the drinks in down at the pub with my friends... ;)
 
My motto when things start getting rough is, "You stupid mother ****er, how the **** do you think you can ****in score when you are a dumb **** playing like a ****ing **** ****."

It usually helps. :D

My main motto is, Let's do this.
 
Over the trees and through the woods to grandmothers house we go
 
My personal favorite is:

Je sais que je vais gagner,
Tu sais que je vais gagner,
Je sais que tu sais que je vais ganger.
 
I`m always saying to myself :score limitation:to help me try and keep to par, maybe i should think something else.
