Your Quirk

[SunnyDaze]

Amazing how so many of us have a lot of the same issues....!

- spare golf ball in right rear pocket (started doing it this winter to help speed of play as mentioned earlier, but this may stop as I don't find it comfortable)
- long and short tees in right front pocket with coins and repair tool (can't have fewer than 2 long tees left in the pocket)
- nothing in left rear pocket
- nail clipper and chapstick in left front pocket
- clubs HAVE to be organized, cleaned and covered after each shot
- shirt has to be tucked in
- have to tug up my shirt shoulders before swinging the club
- don't add up the score until finished
- always play the whole round with the same ball type

and I'm sure there are more!

-never have anything in pockets
-never bring more than one ball to the tee
-mark and line up my ball
-mark my ball with a history channel coin

Now THAT's a quirk. Why would you keep a nail clipper in your pocket during a round of golf? Most of the other "quirks" I've read in this thread are not so much "quirky" as they are ways of organizing things - kind of like one would organize a workshop.

Carrying a nail clipper is, well, different...:laugh:

I have NO idea why. I've always carried one (not just during golf) - had the same one for many years until it fell out somewhere and I lost it. I started with a little gold plated pocket knife that was a gift, but it was borrowed and not returned a long time ago and it needed to be replaced. I guess this is part of organization for me - I have no where else to put my stuff - my wife takes up all the bathroom space with her stuff!

Oh man I don't think I read this one but I can't ever use the same color glove twice. For example, I used to have a Black Nike Tech xtreme that lasted about 5 months then I went to FJ for like 2 months (white) Back to the Nike Tech xtreme for 3 months (black) back to the FJ (white).

Nothing in the back pockets.
Same glasses every round no exception.
Before everyshot say "quiet lower body" and "like a hot knife through butter"

That last one is great :laugh: helps me hit those really long shots.

Do I carry anything odd?

Momentos from previous tournaments, I guess. You can find 6 year old green sheets in my bag,

Prior to every tournament round:

• I exclusively wear red boxer shorts worn inside out
• I consume volcanic dust sprinkled over my muesli for breakfast
• I bury my bad swing thoughts in a box in my back garden two hours before tee-off time
• I hold a 15 min séance with Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones and Jim Morrison before I leave for the golf course
• I empty my bowels before every round in my downstairs toilet. I wipe anti-clockwise 4 times when finished. I cannot play with turd build-up. Clockwise wiping leads to the Yips
• I drive to the course listening to Winston Churchill motivational tapes to psyche myself up
• I undertake 30 mins of stretching and yoga related exercise prior to swinging a club
• I hit seven fades, seven draws and a shank as part of my warm-up
• I make sure to hole 5 six inch putts for confidence building purposes before I approach the 1st tee.
• I spit inside my glove before putting it on. Once I have my glove on I never take it off during the round until finished.
• I tighten my belt three notches to force more blood into my brain
• I mentally scream Geronimo before every swing.
• I caress my nipples which lining up my putts for additional focus.
• I carry a Bowie knife with me at all times, strapped to my leg
  I refuse to have a caddy, lest they take away any of the glory of a good round

Outside that I think I'm fairly normal.

This is some of the finest material ever posted here....It's 7 am, I am alone in the office with a cup of green tea and laughing my ass off....:laugh:

OMG, that was some of the funniest stuff I've ever read. I cut this part out because I wondered whether you would get the yips playing in the southern hemisphere. Doesn't everything swirl clockwise there?

I gotta agree, I had to quit drinking my coffee to protect my monitor. :laugh:

I am starting to suspect IG used to write for Monty Python when he was a wee lad.
