Are you a poser?

I have had a think about this and what I tend to do is watch as well as pick up tee and return to my bag all while ball is in flight, if its a duff shot I watch carefully nowadays as knowing where your ball is can sometimes save you shots you might otherwise lose by losing your ball.I also pick three points of reference in line with the location I think the ball is and it works as I rarely lose a ball and rarely take much time finding them. Most people watch their ball but dont line up ref points so as they amble down the fairway often lose focus on exact spot the wayward ball finished :cool:

i never amble, :mad: I stride purposefully :D
 
Tee Picker for me followed by a casual glance up the fairway to see the ball land and then a smug grin on my face. Sure its happened twice this season :( :(
 
I am a bit of everything. I like to watch a good shot land 'cos with my luck it will hit the yardage marker and bounce O.B.

Ohh, that tickles my noggin.

I ripped one down the 4th (a month ago?), and as it left the club I knew it was monster peach. Sailed like an exocet down the centre cut, and I just stood in awe of my talent!!

220 yards out, it hit the the black and white "aiming post" and careered 30 yards right OOB. I took a 7, making 5 with my second ball.

Shame really, I made 34 points with this bizarre piece of bad luck.
 
I pick up the tee, keep it casual and try to keep the gloating grin off my face. Being a high handicapper I take the pleasure from the look of amazement on my playing partners' faces.
 
In the past I've considered some impromptu breakdancing after a a good shot but the committee threatened to ban me on the advice of the Health and Safety Executive......apparently bodypopping and spiky shoes make poor bedfellows.

Also the missus would probably have thrown a fit trying to get grass stains out of my jumper.
 
unless its a real bad one and I am already in the bag and back on the tee reloading the provisional before the first hits the trees.

This made me smile. How many of us, having seen the first head into oblivion, still call the second a provisional? It's the triumph of hope over experience, but you never give up that hope of a lucky bounce or a miracle...
 
wanna laff

I am a new golfer

and started taking lessons with a really good pro

and he keeps getting me to bend over properly and stick my ass out a bit and bloody hell it feels quite pornographic

not quite used to that feeling of blatently sticking my ass out and gotta say the correct golf stance is a wee bitty risky for a woman

lol
